Blackguards 2 is a turn-based tactical RPG built around hexagonal grid combat. You play Cassia, a noblewoman who breaks out of prison to seize a throne by force. The campaign spans 20+ hours across branching paths where your choices shape squad composition and endings. Combat lets you command up to 20 units—mercenaries you recruit—and develop them as frontline brawlers, spellcasters, or ranged specialists. Battles emphasize environmental interaction: collapse walls, uncover alternate routes, deploy area-effect magic. Enemies use the same toolkit, so positioning matters. The story reunites characters from the first game (the Vanquishers) but centers on Cassia's violent bid for power. Skill and talent choices lock you into specific battlefield strategies, rewarding players who plan builds around synergies rather than improvise.
