Even in some other good strategy games it’s often merely shooting (the same) guns at enemies until they are done, move on and then repeat it in next battle too. The combat is surprisingly nuanced for such a game. Arenas have traps, obstacles, enemies with different abilites, sometimes it’s necessary to understand how to attack/weaken an enemy, instead of just chopping away. Maps often deliver surprises and there are several cool little ideas in them. The game didn’t need as many combat encounters as it has (seriously, countless fights occur), but the mixture of exploration, overall story and character arcs kept me really motivated to see the end. While I know countless games focusing on any one of these elements, none of them really put all of those together in this way. I don’t think I have ever played a game which was exactly like this. These games are a very unusual mix of turn-based strategy, with RPG characters, story elements and decisions. So someone who paid 10 times as much as I did, might judge them in a very different way, but I have to say I was floored by how much I ended up liking them. I read a lot of bad stuff about those games (some of it turned out to be outright lies), so I went in with low expectations. When they both were sold in a humble bundle for 5 bucks along some other games, while they were still ~40 on Steam each, I bought right away (yes I know, I’m a horrible person). So when I learned of the existence of Blackguards, I was interested right away.
