Blackguards Released on Steam Early Access

One day earlier than we were previously told, Daedalic Entertainment’s Blackguards has been released via Steam Early Access, and is currently 10% off to celebrate the occasion. Here’s a teaser trailer to whet your appetite:

And the game synopsis itself:

What happens when the only hope of a threatened world lies not with heroes in shining armor, but in the hands of a band of misfits and criminals? Blackguards, a new turn-based strategy RPG, explores this very question. You will discover over 180 unique hex-based battlegrounds within a dark and mature story of crime, drugs, and murder.

Play as a warrior, mage or hunter and customize your character’s skills as you see fit. The challenging campaign delivers a story of doubt, treason and loss. You decide the course of the story at key turning points and determine its outcome.

Keep in mind that only the first chapter of the title is currently available on Steam Early Access, with additional chapters released at regular intervals until January.
