Deep in the dungeons of Aventuria, Cassia waits for her chance to break out and claim what she perceives as rightfully hers: the Shark Throne. To achieve her goal and overthrow the man that took everything from her, the young noble will have to recruit the Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes and other mercenaries. Every choice matters in this dark tale and Cassia needs all her wits about her to control the army of criminals - and lead her squad to victory or to certain death.
In Blackguards 2, the player chooses the playstyle. Front line combatants, ranged fighters or dangerous mages - up to 20 characters can join the party and head into battle. Every challenging hexfield battle needs a new strategy and the wrong spell might result in death. When every action during battle has consequences, each move has to be carefully considered. Not only do the player’s choices matter on the battlefield, but throughout the entire game. Cassia’s story is not set in stone and fateful decisions can influence the ending of the game and the fate of the squad.
Main features:
-
Recruit mercenaries, find upgrades and build an indomitable army

Find the Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes and see what has become of Takate, Naurim and Zurbaran
