Blackguards

Blackguards is a turn-based tactical RPG where you command a party of criminals and outcasts across hex-grid battlefields. You pick a class—warrior, mage, or hunter—and shape your character through skill choices as the campaign unfolds. Combat plays out on over 180 distinct hex maps, each requiring different tactical approaches. The story centers on crime, betrayal, and moral compromise rather than heroism. Key decisions throughout the campaign alter how events play out and which ending you reach. Expect a darker tone than typical fantasy fare, with themes of addiction and murder woven into the plot. If you want tactical depth without the usual noble-knight framing, this delivers that shift in perspective.
