En Garde!

En Garde! is a swashbuckling action game where you play Adalia de Volador, fencing through story episodes and arena fights in marketplaces, dungeons and palaces with witty banter and theatrical style.

From the forgotten pages of history comes Adalia de Volador, a legendary swashbuckler, dashing adventurer, and hero of the people. Play as Adalia in daring escapades full of sword-fighting, satire, and shenanigans as she challenges the cruel Count-Duke and opposes tyranny with panache.

Fights focus on parrying, riposting, and lunging to build a Panache Meter and unlock special skills. Challenging, ever-changing combat also calls for cunning and acrobatics, with enemies’ weaknesses to learn and exploit.

Combat areas offer ways to create mischief and gain the upper hand, from rolling barrels to falling chandeliers. Arena mode adds game-changing modifiers, new fight situations, and randomized scenarios against waves of enemies.

A flamboyant cast reacts with witty one-liners during fights, and story episodes take place across marketplaces, dungeons, and palaces. The game was first prototyped as an award-winning student project before the team reformed and expanded as Fireplace Games.
