Об игре
Blackguards 2 — это продолжение пошаговой стратегии с элементами ролевой игры. В этой остросюжетной игре вы столкнетесь с насилием, преступлениями и множеством кровопролитных битв на шестиугольных картах.
Выберите свой стиль игры: хотите сыграть за страшное чудовище, которое разрывает врагов в ближнем бою? Мудрого волшебника? Умелого стрелка? Развивайте своего персонажа так, как захотите! Но помните: за все приходится платить и каждое действие возымеет последствия. Смерть может поджидать вас за каждым углом.
Со времен Графа Урии прошло три года. Победители девяти орд давно разошлись, но жизнь в Авентурие идет своим чередом. У Кассии, молодой дамы знатного происхождения, есть лишь одна цель: она жаждет захватить Акулий трон любой ценой, пусть даже на один день. Однако два обстоятельства могут помешать ее планам. Во-первых, она была брошена в подземелье и теперь проводит свои дни в заточении, во-вторых, трон не пустует, на нем восседает Марван. Кассия не сильна в дипломатии или политике, а поэтому она избирает более… прямой подход. Она хочет сбежать из тюрьмы, свергнуть Марвана и объявить себя королевой. Но для этого ей понадобятся могучие союзники. Нужно собрать армию наемников и убедить Победителей девяти орд помочь ей. Отличный план, не так ли? Но подумайте, насколько нужно быть хитрым, чтобы сбежать из темницы, и насколько нужно быть безрассудным, чтобы собрать под свои знамена худших из худших этого мира?
- Нанимайте наемников, ищите улучшения и создайте непобедимую армию
- Найдите Победителей девяти орд и узнайте, что случилось с Такате, Науримом и Зурбараном
- Вас ждут непредсказуемый сюжет, судьбоносные решения и более 20 часов игры
- В вашей группе может одновременно состоять до 20 персонажей. Ведите их к победе… или к поражению!
- Нелинейный сюжет с множеством ключевых моментов
- Принимайте решения, которые повлияют на судьбу вашего отряда и на концовку игры
- Грамотно подбирайте заклинания, таланты и умения, ведь именно от них будет зависеть ваша стратегия на поле боя. Выберите то, что вам больше по душе: безумное нападение или продуманная тактика
- Интерактивное окружение: обрушивайте на врагов стены и ищите скрытые проходы во время своего путешествия по Авентурие
- Используйте мощные заклинания и способности, чтобы уничтожить своих врагов. Но будьте начеку: противник тоже может их использовать

I liked the first part more.
[h3]Of the old heroes, only Takate, Naurim and Zurbaran remained.
Great game. I have no problem recommending it.
Nope - when the first real mission is running away from 20+ guards, and getting rolls that prevent you in fact getting away. And failing to do this 3 times - and this is the start of the game, and I am having to play on easy. I can't stand games where it is almost impossible to enjoy because they have created shit tactics. Overall, this game is just a feature of frustration, not balanced, and not interesting enough to care about.
Nice combat system, and a fun story let down by some of the worst encounter design I've ever encountered in the genre. Awful fights where you need to smash crystals that heal all enemies to full health each round, battles where you need to move quickly while enemies with seemingly endless MP constantly spam debuffs that slow you down, infinitely respawning enemies, it's frustrating and tedious.
if you know what spells to take (pro tip - the level 4 - remove all magic effects from everybody + level 4 make someone go faster, but not only on the main character!) then it's do-able, but good battles should be fun and satisfying not stupid puzzles that depend on picking specific spells and actually avoiding fighting while you run round like an idiot trying to break rocks.
Blackguards 2 is a more combat-focus version of Blackguards 1.
While BG 1 was an RNG fest, BG2 removed so many of the annoying RNG and made strategical plays and puzzle stages a lot more common. Boss fights have you running around trying to abuse the stage hazard to the fullest to win. Certain stages will force you to complete objectives and leave or face infinite spawns unlike the old one where you can kill EVERYTHING except for one stage where you run away from the poison.
Outside of combat, you can now interact with characters more unlike the old one. You can capture prisoners, and interrogate them. Based on a choice, you can either make them spill the beans or spit at you. The informations required to make them answer can be obtained by paying for information from your beggar spies or by speaking around in your camp. After the interrogation, you can decide whether to hang them or let them go. Letting them go can be good but sometime, a certain person might come back to fight you again.
The customization has been greatly simplified. You no longer have the Strength, Charisma, etc from BG1. Instead, you just go with "+10 health" "+10 mana" "unlock tier 1 passive" in a straight line. Weapon level goes froml 1 - 100 and you unlock tier bonus at 50 80 100. While this means no weight limit from the removal of STR (Yes! No more weight issue!), it means much less customization. Even your mages will have as much hp as a fighter at the end making them unkillable.
And with that, let's move on to the balancing.
Endurance has been introduced. In BG1, all you had to do was buff someone and spam that 3x damage move like Hammer blow or Triple shot. You can't anymore. Endurance works like Astral point. When you use a combat skill, you use 10-20 points from you 40-80 endurance pool based on your stat. You regenerate a certain amount each turn based on passive (Endurance Regeneration) and gear bonus.
You can now have 100% hit rate. So much yes! If your offence (Hit rate) is high enough now to deal with their defense, you will always hit. Dodge and parry is one once per turn so sniping someone with a weak arrow first will move your hit rate on any further hit from 75% to 100% on the next one. Bow is a special case and its offense is reduced by range. You can easily check if you can hit people with bow now by simply holding X and moving around. It will show everything in range, the base hit rate and if the enemies are within the Line of Sight or not. Extremely useful and needed feature.
Damage is now consistent. Assuming no armor, if it says 6 damage, it will always deal 6 damage. Skills like "Hammer blow" was nerfed from *3 damage to +10 damage.
Most poison now lasts the entire fight and there are "Buff potions" around as well now.
And if you have nothing to do with your belt slot, they introduced the "Trinket" items that will boost your status while you are holding. Higher crit rate, damage or regeneration. All up to you!
You can place your characters starting location at the start of the battle now!
You can place traps in defensive stages when the enemies decide to attack your base (For every 3-4 conquers, they will attack once)
This should cover most of the new features. Now we will move on to the last part. The pro and con of this games.
Pro
-You now control an army. While everything was nerfed. this is because most combat now have you control 6-10 characters fighting against 6-15 characters as well. Before, you would just control one person with buff + Fast as lightning and tripleshot everything to death.
-Less RNG. More strategical plays and planning required to beat the game.
-Great dialogue just like BG1.
-Set bonus! Yes! no more "Just armor rating +1 and encumbrance reduction" now. You actually get stats from wearing a certain set!
-Your action now decide how good your characters will be and if they will be alive at the end or not. If you want, for the laugh of it, you can even order to execute your friends at the end before reloading a save after seeing their reactions.
Con
-Horribly unbalance. In BG1, all you do is abuse the same damaging weapon move like Triple shot or Hammer blow with buffs and fast as lightning to kill EVERYTHING. In BG2, with the damaging spell buffs and set items, mages are the most op beings ever in an army vs army fight. All you have to do is spam the same AoE spell to destroy everything in 3 - 4 turns assuming it's a "Kill everything" stage.
-Defensive battle doesn't give AP. The fight is already having you fight with gimped characters.
-Certain stage is horribly tedious, even more tedious than the last one. Infinite spawn happens every 2-3 stages and you have to do the "Rush in, Rush out" kind of gameplay. It's not fun because after you move all your 8 characters to the end of the stage, you also have to wait for the other 10 characters on the enemies side to move. You end up spending 10-15 minutes on this stage just waiting for everything to move. If only they would tone these down and give us a way to stop the spawning.
-Very buggy. Still playable though.
-There's only stage with the Lizard-chan throughout the whole game. WTF?
Final Verdict : 7/10.
Blackguards 2 feel like a DLC content with improved mechanic because that's exactly what it is, but we also have to remember it's being sold at a DLC price as well. Also, NEED MORE ACHAZ FFS.
They took everything away from this game which made Blackguards 1 interesting and challenging. I won't say it's bad or terrible but I don't know why it felt dull and uninteresting. Story-wise the game is okay but it lacks the quirky and funny interactions that the first part had among your party members. And that was one of the selling points of Blackguards 1. If you have already played the first game and finished it, then I'm pretty sure you already know what I'm talking about. The first part's setting was dark and grim with pinch of humour here and there. However, this installment feels extremely depressive and sad. I would be okay with that if that was the story's requirement but game-play wise they reduced the difficulty level significantly too, making every encounter like a walk in the park.
So, does it mean it's a terrible game? No. Far from it but it's nothing in comparison to the first part. Get it if you see this game on sale otherwise just wait.
