Press release:
Montpellier, France, August 16th.
The Montpellier-based (France) indie games developer Fireplace Games are today very thrilled and happy to announce that their swashbuckler action/adventure game “En Garde!“, is now available for PC via Steam for 19.99€/$19.99.

Praised by players and media, En Garde! was one of June Next Fest’s most prominent titles, having been played by more than 50,000 players. The swiftest swordfighters can benefit from a limited-time release discount of 10%.

In En Garde!, players step into the shoes of Adalia de Volador, a renowned swashbuckling hero, in a whimsical rendition of 17th-century Spain. They’ll engage in daring escapades filled with charm and wit, and challenge the cruel Count-Duke with unmatched style!
By fighting with flair, exchanging attacks, parrying, and riposting against opponents, players can fill their Panache Meter and unleash special skills. En Garde! encourages adaptability and improvisation, urging players to uncover enemy weaknesses and use the environment to their advantage, be it through surprise attacks, stunning manoeuvres, or clever evasions.

In the story mode, players embark on episodic adventures reminiscent of classic TV series, encountering distinct characters, enemies, and trials. They confront both powerful adversaries and supportive allies while challenging the malevolent Count-Duke to liberate the City from oppression.

Within En Garde!’s Arena mode, players navigate randomised fight situations and have to tactically combine a variety of gameplay modifiers to triumph over waves of enemies. Throughout these experiences, the dynamic dialogue system preserves the ambience of an exhilarating sword-fighting journey.

Featuring beautifully hand-painted environments, theatrical characters, and an abundance of banter and wit, En Garde! successfully captures the essence of classic swashbuckling comedy and adventure from a bygone era.

With its blend of humour, thrilling action, and breathtaking spectacles, En Garde! promises players an unparalleled swashbuckling adventure that is truly one-of-a-kind.

Players have the option to select a classic offer priced at 19.99€/$19.99 or opt for a charming bundle that includes both the game and its enchanting game OST at the special price of 24.99€/$24.99.
