Blackguards is already the best fantasy-themed tactical combat game I’ve played since Shining Force.

RPGCodex.net (13.11.2013)
I swear, I haven’t had this much fun whacking enemies in turn-based combat since Knights of the Chalice. There aren't many games out there where almost every fight feels unique, challenging and genuinely fun, and Blackguards manages to actually fit into this category.

Extracontinue.com (18.11.2013)
With its lush, dark environments and captivating storyline, this game should grab the imagination of turn-based strategy fans and roleplaying fanatics alike.

The Gamers Hub (04.09.2013)
This is shaping up to be yet another excellent entry from Daedalic Entertainment.

Hookedgamers.com (15.11.2013)
A dash of Expeditions: Conquistador, a pinch of Dragon Age and a large helping of the wonderful storytelling talent that Daedalic Entertainment normally so generously pours over their point & click adventures. That’s honestly the best way that I am able to describe Blackguards but, at the same time, it doesn’t do the game the justice it deserves. Blackguards is something new, something different and I’m in love with it even in its ‘early access’ state.

GameSkinny (13.06.2013)
It is very rare for games like this to be developed nowadays. If you are a fan of older PC RPGs or even some of the newer ones and you want to play a game that has some depth, a wonderful story, and an intricate combat system, check out Blackguards when it's released this year on PC.

SlimGamer (16.06.2013)
Blackguards was, for me, one of the biggest surprises of E3. Going into the show I’d never even heard of the game, yet I left with it taking a prominent spot on my radar and near the top of my “Most Anticipated” list.

GamingLives (04.07.2013)
With constantly rewarding combat and a story that will keep you guessing until the end, Blackguards is guaranteed to turn more than a few heads and win the hearts of many more, just before it drops a chandelier on their heads.

Mir gefällt der Titel bereits in dieser Vorabversion derart gut, dass ich kaum noch davon loskam.

Blackguards ist richtig schön old school.

Gamona (18.07.2013)
Besinnung aufs Wesentliche: Blackguards ist einem Pen-and-Paper-Rollenspiel so nahe wie kaum ein Computerspiel zuvor." "Blackguards macht Schnippschnapp mit dem Schnickschnack und konzentriert sich auf das Wesentliche: Geschichte, Kämpfe, Rollenspiel. Basta."

Eurogamer (06.08.2013)
Es ist eine extrem spannende Mischung aus Rollenspiel, Adventure und Strategiespiel, die einen Weg zeigt, wie das Mittelfeld zwischen Triple-A und Indie überleben kann. Die großen Technik-Titel funktionieren oft eben auch, weil sie so aussehen, wie sie es tun. Ist das nicht möglich, muss man kreativ werden oder sie zumindest intelligent mixen. Blackguards ist einer der besten Ansätze für die Rettung dieses Spiele-Feldes, die ich in letzter Zeit sah.
