En Garde! is an indie platformer game with a unique combat system that focuses almost entirely on parrying.

This game got pretty great reviews, and I've having a good time with it so far. The platforming is dead simple and really just serves to move you from combat to combat. The combat is the real star of the show. It's really fluid, and the parrying works well. It's simple without being too easy, and when you're facing multiple enemies, it can be a real challenge. The art style is nice but doesn't stand out. I've heard this game is pretty short, so hopefully the combat doesn't become stale before the end. For now, I plan on continuing with this.

Verdict: Keep Playing
