What can I say, folks?
I’m in love.
Let me list everything I adore about Adalia like this is my high school diary.
Shes an amazing sword fighter; her acrobatic and graceful nature lets her outwit anyone who crosses her blade.
Shes got panache, cheek, and a sharp wit to boot.
And speaking of - her boots!
Shes got endless style!
Developers Fireplace Games have created the perfect protagonist for a game about expert swordplay.
Playing as the dashing swordstress herself, fights have an effortlessness to them.
I love the feeling of kicking ass and looking good as I do it.
The environment inspires playful opportunities, too.
In the trailer Adalia literally lobs an entire lute at some poor blokes head.
It always feels like you’re toying with your opponents, hitting them all with your finesse and wit.
Its all spectacle, shenanigans, and escapades here in En Garde!
Improvise to your heart’s content.
Its all incredibly campy, and Adalia plays massively into that.
I love this gender-bending, this breaking of imaginary rules.
You dont see many women in outsized, comedic roles in games, which is why En Garde!
Also, did anyone else clock the female pirate in the trailer and Steam artwork?
Um, yes, like.
