    I'm only seeing good constructive reviews on this game so here's a bad review: The game had no spider-man which I was promised and is actually annoying. Why can't I swing from building to building. I also think this game is very impressive for a student game. Would've been higher but my driver crashed. It's very good though.

    Graphics: Very impressive for what used to be (originally) a student game, now boosted by an unreal engine under hormons like the genomic soldiers from Metal Gear Solid 1.
    Really pretty and colorful, inclusive design. Lighting effects are godlike.

    Gameplay: Strawberry-flavoured artificial intelligence, allowing the player to use a large panel of toolset to solve what we could call "immersive-sim-esque-story-telling-puzzle-fighting". (sounds like a joke, but it's an accurate description).
    Such a pleasure to bounce around controlling Adalia, this game is the game of micro-decisions as well as macro ones.

    Music and sound: Sound effects are pleasing to the ear, music is globally old but gold. We only had wished to hear the song "En Garde" from the German band "Dartagnan" at some point.
    Soundtrack can be purchased on the Stean store, allowing you to listen to it on your walkman.

    Conclusion: Don't hesitate one second, and rush towards this bouncy quest of an adventure ! This is a pure ingot waiting for you!    … Expand

    A superb bite-sized experience with an excellent combat system, enchanting graphics, and fantastic flamenco-infused music. En Garde! oozes humor, its fencing duels are action-packed and truly satisfying. Regrettably, it falls short in terms of its relative brevity, simplistic platforming, and uninteresting storyline.

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

    En Garde’s intense sword fights and infectious atmosphere make it a fun, if fleeting, indie action game.
