Swords at the ready as En Garde has been announced for an August release

History will come along when players step into the boots and feathered hat of Adalia de Volador, a legendary swashbuckling hero, in a whimsical vision of the 17th century in the game En Garde, which was announced today. Check out the games reveal trailer below.

The combat in the game is challenging and ever-changing, pushing players to use trickery, acrobatics, and many objects in the environment to defeat scores of scoundrels, guards, and nefarious nobles. The game offers a series of exciting story episodes or the chance to experiment with zany modifiers in Arena Mode, battling waves of diverse enemies.

There is a demo out now for the game on Steam, should you wish to sample the swashbuckling action now. The full release is expected in August of this year, but an exact date is not yet known.
