Blackguards Special Edition

A slog punctuated by moments of bad luck

First, the positive: the characters seemed like they could develop into something interesting. I don't know for sure, and I definitely won't stick around to find out. I found the combat to be a grind, especially with the high failure rates of key abilities like spells. Enemy crits regularly turned a generally good strategy into restarting the map. Generally the game felt really slow with moments of sudden misfortune. Loot and xp (AP) are scarce, so recovering from bad luck is not easy. If you love games where you need a strong strategy AND the RNG needs to go perfectly, you have found your game. If you're like me, stay away.
