A downloadable game for Windows

En Garde is a small gameplay prototype for a multiplayer fighting game based entirely on épée fencing. Attack your opponent to score points, and defend yourself with well-timed parries to stun them for the perfect opening.

The game requires two controllers for multiplayer, while keyboard does work for player one, you need to connect two controllers to control player two.


Controls:

  • Movement: Left Stick or A nd D keys
  • Attack - X Button or Spacebar
  • Parry - B Button or Shift


Known Issues:

  • Players can sometimes slide around while attacking or parrying if inputs are timed perfectly
  • Players can rarely get stuck after a parry
  • Very rarely, players will get stuck hovering in the air after being hit

Plans for the next update:

  • Complete gameplay overhaul including  advanced attacks, aiming and feints
  • A more polished map
  • Audio including SFX and ambient noise
More information about the project can be found here.
