About
Blackguards 2, released in 2015, is a turn-based strategy RPG that immerses players in challenging hexfield battles and a gritty narrative filled with violence and crime. The game allows players to customize their character's abilities, whether they prefer to engage in front-line combat, wield powerful magic, or strike from a distance. This freedom in playstyle combined with the game's high-stakes decision-making makes it notable within the adventure and strategy genres.
In terms of PC performance, Blackguards 2 is relatively accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 141 to run smoothly. With just 4 GB of RAM needed, the game can deliver decent FPS even on modest hardware. Players looking to achieve higher graphics settings and better overall performance should consider mid-tier GPUs for a more enjoyable experience in terms of frame rates and graphical fidelity.
If you're a fan of strategy-driven RPGs with a gritty twist, Blackguards 2 is worth exploring, especially given its 71/100 rating. Its complex character development and impactful decision-making will appeal to players who enjoy deep, immersive gameplay experiences in the realm of indie games.
Performance profile
Released in January 2015, Blackguards 2 sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.
As a strategy title, Blackguards 2 is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.
Extremely light — Blackguards 2 runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
Three years have passed since Count Uria´s plots. The Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes long parted ways but life in Aventuria went on. Cassia, a young woman of noble descent, has only one goal: She wants to claim the Shark Throne, no matter the price; and be it only for one day. Unfortunately, there are two problems that potentially foil her plans. First of all, she spends her days incarcerated in a dungeon and secondly, there is already a man on her throne: Marwan. She is neither fond nor proficient in matters of diplomacy or politics, so she chooses a more... practical approach. She intends to break out of prison and overthrow Marwan to claim the throne herself. For this, she needs strong allies. She needs to recruit an army of Sellswords and rally the Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes around her. Sounds like a solid plan, doesn't it? But then again, how cunning must one be to escape the dungeon's walls; and how reckless must one be to gather and command the worst scum of the realms?
