Fun and colorful swashbuckling adventure
En Garde! is a swordfighting game where you play as swashbuckler Adalia de Volador as she fights the evil Count-Duke and his army of guards. It's a light-hearted comedy game, with many funny exchanges between Adalia and other characters, and defeated enemies will sometimes say funny lines as well. The graphics are beautiful, it's very colorful, set in a coastal Spanish town. The gameplay is hack-and-slash, but also reflex-based and uses the environment. Like some enemies need to be dodged and/or parried before you can deal damage to them. You can throw items or kick them to break their guard faster. Getting swarmed by enemies can be dangerous, and try to 1v1 them. Even on easy mode it's still kinda hard, but don't worry as you can activate assist mode, like invincibility, auto-parry, and making enemies don't regain their guard. Length-wise, this game is not very long, but it's not really a bad thing since the story feels coherent and too much fights can be tiring for your fingers. There's an Arena Mode though in case you want to fight more waves of enemies. If you like reflex combat games such as Batman Arkham or Ryse: Son of Rome, En Garde! will satisfy you. What this game really needs is a photo mode, imagine the cool mid-combat screenshots we can get in a beautiful environment!
