#ARCH STARTX NOT FOUND SERIES#

However, where the game really starts to stand out is its skill system and the world map/conquest.

#ARCH STARTX NOT FOUND SERIES#

The combat takes place on a hex-grid combat unfolds as a series of strategic motions and attacks relying on careful plotting, positioning, and the like, and the fighting tends to focus heavily on individual units and their strengths and weaknesses, as opposed to large-scale army tactics. As a turn-based strategy RPG, some of the trappings are fairly obvious and straightforward. So much of this game deserves praise, or at least notation.

When she finally escapes from the dungeon, she sets out for revenge upon those whom imprisoned her, struggling against the might of an empire and trying to keep the poison that now flows through her blood from eating away at her mind. Two years that have horribly mutilated her and left her of questionable sanity with only spiders, her guard, and herself to talk to, and only a single book to read. Sacred spiders whose venom destroys either the victim's mind or the victim's body and the average survival time is less than a month. She is a young noblewoman whom has been cast down into a spider-filled dungeon and left to die at the hands of sacred spiders. Right from the starting scene the game makes it clear that it is NOT about to sugar-coat things as its very own opening cut-scene features a cat being murdered before introducing players to the main character, Cassia. Well, simply put, it finally gets it right. Therefore, after years of being shown fairies that are little more than flying imps with terrifying bodies, why does Blackguards 2 elect a sigh of relief? These are the games where elves are people-eating forest-dwellers, the games where dwarves would sell their own mothers for coin, and where the undead are, arguably, the least disturbing aspects of life. Far too often, when searching for a 'dark' fantasy game, it is easy to stumble on to a confusing and often surprisingly bland mishmash of games that take the term to little more than a shallow skin.
