About this game
Blackguards 2 is a turn-based tactical role-playing game that takes place three years after the original.
Cassia of Tenos was the consort of Marwan, the First Kyrios of Mengbilla, until one day she was snatched from her bed and thrown to rot in the catacombs beneath the capital's arena.

Frightened and clueless as to why she is deprived of her freedom, she soon finds out that the underground is a dangerous place, inhabited by venomous spiders and who knows what other manner of creatures.
Her only companion is "The Good Ruler", a book on governing, which after countless reads has triggered a spark inside Cassia--she decided that she wants to rule, to see everyone bow before her, even if it's just for one day.
The game is based on the pen-and-paper role-playing game The Dark Eye , and borrows a lot of mechanics and the setting from it.
The player joins Cassia as she escapes from her prison and tries to conquer the Emirate of Mengbilla.
The game is almost identical to the original Blackguards in terms of graphics and gameplay.
Even more, all the main heroes besides Cassia are the player's companions in the first title.
However, there are significant changes to the skill tree and level progression since the base values can't be upgraded, instead the focus turns to a wide array of special abilities, and a four-tier system for weapon talents, talents and spells.
While weapon talents can be increased point by point from 0 to 100, the effects improve only when a certain threshold is reached (the next tier).
On the other hand, simple talents and spells can be upgraded only four times, from tier 1 to tier 4.
Travelling on the world map is now less about exploration and solving quests, and more about conquering different towns and points of interest.
The world map plays as a sort of Risk -like board game, in which Cassia needs to take over these settlements one by one until the entire emirate is under her control.
Conquering a specific location will give the player certain bonu
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Guards for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Guards to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2021.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Guards — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
