You will often be outnumbered and outgunned, against enemies armed with things like poisoned weaponry and traps, but you'll be able to offset that with careful tactical consideration and tool management. Daedalic obviously went for the last solution, but even then, their approach is still considerably different from other tacticool games you might have played, since it supplements mixed groups of enemies possessing different strengths and weaknesses with complex environmental interaction, that makes many of the game's fights feel a lot like puzzles. More competent ones will come up with superior enemy AI and varied combat encounters. Others will just keep the one-hit-kill part. When you think about “difficulty” in other games in the genre, the first thing that comes to mind is usually those shitty solutions used by incompetent developers, like enemies with ridiculously bloated HP that kill you in one hit. You see, Blackguards seems to have a different design philosophy behind it compared to other RPGs. It achieves that thanks to a few factors, the primary one being its excellent encounter design. However, if you do like RPG combat, this game presents a very rare treat that is fairly unique within the spectrum of the cRPG genre, and I can say that with a straight face. In fact, it is pretty clear to me that if you don’t like combat-centric RPGs, you will not like Blackguards.
