En Garde (2023) | Gameplay Review (PC)
The Good:
Combat mechanics
Chipper tone
Solid voice work
The Bad:
Limited platforming
Needs more combat arena variety
Boss battle difficulty spikes
Conclusion:
En Garde! offers a tight core idea and executes on it well, although in some predictable ways. It’s fun to constantly scan the battlefield and evaluate incoming enemies to decide how to use the environment and Adalia’s superior fencing skills to separate groups, stun some enemies, and, finally, take all of them down.
The unlockable reveals even more options to spice battles up and create interesting scenarios. The title’s platforming and exploration are limited, which will limit its appeal for anyone who doesn’t quickly enjoy the combat. En Garde! is a happy adventure dedicated to fans of pulp and complex battle situations.
