Development and release[edit]
A 1E adaptation of the ENnie-nominated adventure! Idatabase 6 15. This is the Gen Con 2006 special. Many centuries ago, a band of paladins fell from grace. These blackguards were defeated after a great battle and their grim fortress, the Iron Tower, was razed. Blackguards is an entertaining game and traditional role players will love many of its mechanics. The game could have been used to restore part of the essence of the great RPGs that were released during the early years of the last decade, but would require a story influenced by the decisions of the player and a good artificial intelligence.
On 4 March 2014 the DLC Blackguards: Untold Legends added seven quests relating to one of the protagonists, four weapons, eleven battle maps, and 25 tracks.

By September 2014, Blackguards had become Daedalic's highest-grossing game.[1] It remained in this position by 2016, which the company's Carsten Fichtelmann attributed to 'a high rate of full price sales', compared to the greater sales quantity but lower revenue of the Deponia series.[2]Blackguards received mixed reviews, Metacritic gave 68/100 from 48 reviews. For instance IGN's Rowan Kaiser rated the game 7.8/10 and concluded: 'Good. Except for its muddled progression system, tactical RPG Blackguards gets a lot of things right.'[3]
