Reception

[edit]

Christian Donlan of Eurogamer wrote that "the delights of En Garde! are so generous, so freewheeling that there's something for everyone. This is a third-person action game with a brilliant heroine, brisk, breezy platforming and rapier combat inspired by the likes of the Arkham games."[3] Rachel Watts of Rock, Paper, Shotgun praised the game's gameplay, characters, and environment.[4]

Jordan Minor of PC Magazine praised the environment and gameplay, but criticized it for being somewhat repetitive.[2] Andrew Farrell of CG Mag Online called it "short and disappointing".[5]
