Its like Zorro but Zorro is a girl and still doesn’t gently kiss me on the mouth. En Garde! Is this game that came out in 2023 that no one talked about or even heard of. You play as Adalia de Volador, a duelist living in. Uh. Spain? Is this Spain or Colonial Spain? Either or, Adalia is a swords woman and a hero of the people, going on adventures to stop the evil Count-Duke from being a prick and stealing stuff from the people you never see. After getting into yet another adventure, Adalia must sword fight for what is probably the 100th time to stop the Count-Duke from stealing everyone’s money and using it to buy, I dunno, TVs or some shit. En Garde is an action game that takes from other games like the Arkham series and Assassin’s Creed. A third person sword fighting game where attack and parrying is key, but also you have to dodge certain attacks that you can’t parry, creating this system where you have to single out stronger opponents while also fending off the others around you. They don’t wait for you to take them out one and a time, and someone is usually preparing an unblockable to use the exact same time his buddy gets parried. Don’t play this game tired, I did and it turned a fight I finished in 2 minutes later into a 3 try debacle. Outside of just slapping people with your sword or using a special move, Adalia is good at fighting dirty. A big thing the game pushes is you using the environment to your advantage. Kicking boxes at guys, tripping them over tables, using explosive barrels, lighting cannons to go, leaping over them with a vault, Adalia is very agile, and its good that she is because a good chunk of the game is based around separating who you’re fighting from one another to make it easier to handle. Its a cute little game, you can beat it in less than 3 hours if you aren’t achievement hunting or dabbling into the arena mode. Adalia doesn’t even really kill anyone through the entire game, just sort of knocks them out. I’d say its a kids game if it wasn’t such a ball buster at points. It has a lot to do with Sifu, at least the developers are friends, I guess, and they play a lot alike. But its still its own thing, I would give it at least a single playthrough. You can get En Garde! On sale from time to time for around 6 Canadian Beaver bucks or 4 American Freedom Dollars. En Garde! Gets 7 whiffed dodges out of 10. Team Cherry delayed Silksong by seven years so it wouldn’t be overshadowed by Silksong. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Dickbuttexperience] Join the Dirk Knife Fight Club.

A rare example of a game developer who understood the assignment. You won't find the usual AAA stuff here. There's no open world to explore, no towers to climb, there isn't 500 side quests, no collectables, not 60 different types of guns, not 30 different types of gameplay, no conversation trees, no 'choices matter' story telling. No crazy hour long cinematic cutscenes. No skill tree. No character customisation. No inventory management. No forced puzzle sections. No forced stealth sections. The game is: Sword fighting. And.... That's it. Aside from the visuals and more modern/refined gameplay mechanics and modern features like autosaves, it could have easily been a PS2 game in terms of how 'back to basics' it is. And I mean that in a good way. The game/devs basically seem to be saying is: "What we got here is a core gameplay loop that we've polished until you can see your reflection in it, and that's it, we're so confident you'll like it, that we've based the entire game on just that." There's levels, a simple plot, some characters, a light hearted tone, short basic still frame cutscenes at the start/end of each level. Levels consist of small areas where you fight enemies until they're all defeated, then move onto the next area. And each level ends with a boss fight. It sounds simple but it is just really well done and easily one of the most enjoyable combat systems I've ever tried. One of those 'simple to learn but hard to master' type gameplay loops where the more you practice the better you get, and the harder the enemies and bosses become. It's a combination of getting faster with your reflexes to do the right moves at the right time, learning patterns and behaviours of enemies, and using every trick the game gives you (and there's a lot of them, including many environment based attacks) to your advantage at the right time. And when you get it right, visually it looks great, and it feels/looks like an action scene from a movie, and in many respects the fighting combat system seems to use 'movie logic' for how things work, which is kinda why it's so enjoyable. The game has a very comedic and light hearted tone. Enemies don't even die as far as I can tell, they just fall over. Lots of funny voice lines and banter between the main character and enemies even mid fight or after defeating them. Main character is fun and likeable. The other characters so far have been entertaining too. Music is great. Visually the game has a nice style that suits the game and it's well executed. So yeah. Overall. Just a very straight forward no bull fun game, recommended. If you enjoy the first level, you'll love it since the rest of the game, as it's just more of that.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu*ck, this game hard as f*ck! From the very beginning looks like Sekiro for kids, but in reality this game will whip your ass, just get prepared for it! Funny, atmospheric and challenging game. Combat system just perfect! Absolutely love it! p.s. If anyone knows something close to this, please recommend me

It's been said before, but honestly the only downside of the game is that it's so fun and unique in presentation that you just can't help but want more of it. These are the kind of games you pray get a AAA budget, but can only exist in an environment where creators can make the game they truly want to make. It truly does know itself, and is full of wit and pasión! <3
