Podcast Special: Kai Fiebig – Blackguards Interview

December 6, 2013, Author: Neil Hughes

For those of you that like your turn-based RPG’s to be dark and sinister then look no further than Daedalic’s Blackguards, where even the main character is a convicted murderer. What happens when the only hope of a threatened world lies not with heroes in shining armour, but is placed in the hands of a band of misfits and criminals? Blackguards, explores this very question. Is that dark enough for you?

You take control of said convicted murderer and with the help of a team that consists of questionable characters, you get to try and save the world from a dark menace. Through this wild chase throughout the South of Aventuria, the world of The Dark Eye, there is more to fight than vicious creatures. Chapter by chapter you’ll encounter a story full of intrigue and surprising twists. Time and time again, the moral compass of the player will be tested. One does not beat Blackguards without getting their hands dirty, but when life and death are in the player’s hands, how far will they go to reach their goals?

There is an early access version of Blackguards available on Steam and the developers need your feedback ready for the game’s full launch later in January 2014, so its an ideal opportunity to get a feel of what the game is all about.

This dark tale captivated our imaginations here at This Is My Joystick so Neil Hickton caught up with industry veteran Kai Fiebig, Lead Producer with the Blackguards-team at Daedalic. Check out the interview via the links below.
