En Garde!

En Garde! is a game that's been given the prestigious souls-like tag because it has a block, a parry, and it's reasonably difficult. It has no interactable checkpoints (i.e. bonfires), no leveling system or RPG elements of any kind, no stamina bar, no equippable armors or weapons, no metroidvania-esque open world, no summon signs or invasions or covenants or PVP of any kind, no analog for an Estus Flask or any consumables, and only one ending. BUT, beyond all that, it's exactly like Dark Souls. No, but seriously, it's a fun game, it's affordable, it's not too long, and it has a charming story and atmosphere. The levels have optional objectives and hidden secrets which gives them some replay value and there's an arena mode. Play it, it's good.

é um jogo bom. Porém um pouco curto. Se durasse muito mais, acho que eu iria enjoar, mas ele acaba logo antes de ficar repetitivo, o que é bom. Se você comprar na promoção, vai aproveitar bastante, mas se eu tivesse pago o preço cheio (60 reais) acho que eu iria dar uma review negativa por conta disso. Ele não tem conteúdo o suficiente pra justificar o preço, mas 15 reais é justo, e foi isso o que eu paguei. O combate é bem interessante, e mesmo com pouca variedade de inimigos (tem uns 4 ou 5 tipos de inimigos, tirando os bosses) consegue ser bem divertido. Usar o cenário contra eles é legal e dá bastante variedade em como se aproximar das situações. Os cenários são bonitos, a história é qualquer coisa, não mto importante, e as vozes são bem feitas e atuadas. O jogo também conta com alguns desafios e segredos durante as fases que são legais de tentar fazer e achar. No geral, é um sólido 8 de 10. Não é 10 por conta do preço e pq acho que o jogo tem pouco conteúdo no geral. Mas é um jogo bem feito e competente. Dá pra tirar aí um final de semana bom jogando ele.

En Garde! me produce sentimientos encontrados, ya que por una parte el juego es precioso, es muy divertido y es cortito, que eso se agradece... pero por otra parte los combates me parecen MUY injustos, sobre todo hacia el final. Que te pongan en una habitación encerrada con varios enemigos que te atacan y te rodean todos a la vez cuando el juego está pensado para que los combates sean de 1 contra 1 me parece que no es la mejor decisión que se podía tomar, ya que con eso lo que se consigue es que se pierda la magia del espadachín que puede con todos a la vez y te estés más rato huyendo de los enemigos que luchando contra ellos. Otra cosa que no me ha gustado nada es que los enemigos especiales te obliguen a jugar perfecto, clavando todos los parrys y las esquivas y que te aprendas todos sus movimientos al milímetro, porque sino recuperan la barra de estabilidad al mínimo fallo y tienes que volver a empezar, y eso empeora cuando te rodean 3 o 4 enemigos más que tienen también esa mecánica. A pesar de todo eso disfruté el juego, aunque me pesa decir que hacia el final seguí jugando más por terminarlo que porque me lo estuviera pasando bien. Seguramente mi experiencia no es reflectiva de la general de la gente, pero es como lo he vivido y me ha parecido una pena, porque salvo esto que comento el resto es muy disfrutón.

Very good game! Short and sweet, reminds me of the early PS2 days.

Short but very fun. Combat is fast paced and heavily relies on using your environment properly. Story mode was good, Arena was fine.

This game is okay, just okay. The visual are the only thing completely good in it. Everything is colorful, the scenarios are detailed and the lightning is great. So visually, perfect. The gameplay is a mixed bag. It's good, but has some pretty big flaws in its execution and how it's handled. You have two types of gameplay, fight and parkour/run around, at a first glance, they're good, stylish and work well, until you need to fight a group of enemies just to realize the combat was made for 1v1 duels and should've stayed that way, or spend another minute jumping across places or running around just to realize you don't have anything to do when you're not fighting aside from jump and run. Its length. You can finish the game in ~2-3 hours, after that, you can replay the 4 episodes or start a run in the arena mode, where you face hordes of enemies with a random system of buffs and debuffs. That's it and can become boring quickly. The story and characters are bad. Somehow, they made something worse than Borderlands 3. They tried to make some sort of theatrical comedy play divided by acts where nothing really matter and full of "he's right behind me, isn't he?" type of humor, and it's way too corny for my taste. Not recommended because as it is, this game is not that great. An expansion would do wonders for it, but i don't think it's gonna happen.

Love it, threw me back to the days of ps2 and ps3 family friendly games which I like.

A very campy charming four episode adventure. Feels very puss in boots in terms of story telling and style. The combat is fun and challenging. I played on normal and it felt very approachable. I think if you want more of a challenge you just up the difficulty, same with lowering it. I liked the envormental effects in combat. The dialogue was definitely campy but in a very funny way. En Garde! has plenty to offer for those looking for a quick fun adventure
