4/5
Arkham-esque combat and lovely platforming combine in this joyous and colourful game.

71/100
En Garde! flares brightly with its slick, slapstick combat, for a while at least.

85/100
En Garde! is a playable cartoon, with a charming heroine, hilarious gags, and colorful visuals. The combat and platforming are simple yet fun, with the former being quick yet deadly. While it is very short, it has enough replayability to keep you coming back for more.

Refunded...
I really wanted to like this game but it was disappointing in every way. First off, its a tiny game. A tiny game that's made slightly longer because its frustratingly hard at points and you'll have to redo the same stupid fight over and over again. Secondly, I did not relate or enjoy the main character at all. I found her annoying and unlikeable from the start. Eventually its revealed she's a lesbian and there was this obnoxious duel you have to fight against her former lady lover which just did not fit with the setting or tone. Not to say there were not lesbians in the 17th century, but finding two feminist expert sword fighting women who don men's clothing and flirt while fencing would have been a strange event in those days. Its really quite a heavy topic, and not one that a comical, childish, swashbuckling tale is really best equipped to deal with. The platforming sections feel like an after thought, and are too easy, whereas the actual core gameplay (the fencing) can be stupidly hard. Knocking guards back into water, down stairs, into pillars that cause vases to fall on there heads, or into weapons racks is a lot of fun... a couple times... but that's really the only time the gameplay shines. When you have to fight an enemy that is immune to the your kick attack and can't push him back into the environment, the fun meter goes way down because the actual sword-on-sword fencing is mediocre. The game tries to be funny, but most of the jokes fall flat. We could use more funny games... but you need funny writing and funny voice actors which apparently was not in the budget. There is no cohesive story, each act just starts and stops as its own little mini story, and so there is no incentive to push through and endure the mediocre gameplay, cringe worthy jokes, and obnoxious heroine. I got it refunded... thanks for that GOG!
