It's a short game, but really fun. I intend to make a 100% on this one too
Action game built around a pretty good feeling basic system of dodge/parry then punish. Main thing that sets it apart is the degree of interactivity with the environment. Feels very satisfying to kick a pile of barrels down a flight of stairs and have it knock down a whole group of enemies.
Pretty fun, it reminded me a bit of Sekiro's combat mechanics. In the game, you control a character similar to Zorro, a masked vigilante whose goal is to overthrow a tyrant in power. Throughout the game, you learn more about his plans and try to thwart them, while encountering other characters and progressing through stages that unlock new enemies. I found the early stages to be quite standard; the only one that really stands out is the last, which feels much like a platformer. I think the game could explore more possibilities in its environments, as its combat is really enjoyable. I liked the game, though I found it a bit short, but still quite enjoyable. I recommend it!
really excellent action, but disappointingly slight. would love to see this system expanded to something grander.
combat is about manipulating enemy movement and creating diversions with the environment, rather than just raw combat. very interesting take on the beat em up genre. short and doesnt overstay either. would recommend
Great game. En Garde! is full of charm, fun, great environments, good humour and sweet music. It's a blast to play. The combat is so creative and fun, but I wish the game was longer. Definitely one I'm going to replay. I'm surprised its score isn't higher here, but I guess that's because it's so short. Better short and sweet than long and boring, I say!
