Guards

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.

Guards for PlayStation 4 is currently worth €13.76 loose, €34.40 complete in box, and €82.56 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Guards has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Guards, loose is €13.76 and CIB is €34.40 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Guards is currently worth €13.76 loose, versus €10.47 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
