Blackguards 2 redeem11/28/2023 ![]() Blackguards was a well-received sleeper hit that offered players an intriguing combination of tactical turn based combat with a harrowing story of death, betrayal, and heroism, built on the foundation of the German “The Dark Eye” setting (in essence, a subtly tweaked and expanded version of the American “Dungeons and Dragons” system).īlackguards was not a perfect game: its provocatively challenging gameplay proved a turn-off to those who found no joy in complexity, while the game's laser-like focus on a simple, linear, yet wholly sufficient central narrative served to alienate dedicated explorers, romantic souls, and compulsive collector types alike. After years of public exhortations, Daedalic finally made their first cautious entry into the RPG genre in early 2014.

Today, Daedalic are virtually the only remaining major developer of complex and well-written adventure games. In recent years, Daedalic Entertainment, based in Europe's cultural capital of Hamburg, Germany, has applied this work ethic to the adventure genre. Sawyer? Germany's game developers have taken their work ethic from the manual labourers who built the Autobahn and dug the great coal pits of the Ruhrgebiet: they labour in the service of a greater good, striving tirelessly towards perfection. Even the greatest American games draw upon German talent: who could imagine a Planescape: Torment without Guido Henkel, or a Pillars of Eternity without J.E. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the quality of German RPGs: from the classic Realms of Arkania trilogy through the transgressive Albion and the ground breaking Ambermoon to the blockbuster Gothic and Risen franchises, the thread of German game design winds through the very DNA of role play gaming. The German people take pride in excellence.
