Liberté is an astonishing game with a beautifully crafted world to explore and an intensely rich story. The use of deckbuilding actually takes this game over the top with how it’s structured because it gives you more freedom to play and adapt your current run to what you need. The story is intriguing, the characters are well written, and the combat is fast, smooth, and rewarding.
The game is set in Paris during the times of the French Revolution. You play as Rene – a regular Parisian entangled in a massive intrigue between the four most influential factions in the city. Collect cards, nurture alliances and discover the truth behind the city’s cryptic invader from another dimension, Lady Bliss.
Mix and match from over 100 Skills and Talents cards. Go full-on guns-blazing, cut your way out with blades and axes, hit your enemies with a guitar, and sing the revolutionary song! Lead Rene in his human form or use the skin-shifter ability to play as one of the characters – Master Hunter Victor, Tribal Warrior Flea, or Revolt Leader Ana.
Liberté feels unique. Deckbuilding and isometric combat may be nothing new, but this combines the two wonderfully well. The game offers a fresh take on these genres and provides an exciting adventure in a compelling world.
The graphics and art style of Liberté are also worth mentioning. The game features beautifully detailed environments and character designs that truly bring the world to life. The music and sound effects also add to the immersive experience.
In conclusion, Liberté is a must-play for fans of deck-building games and action roguelites. The combination of these two genres along with its rich story and beautifully crafted world make it a standout title. Liberté deserves to put developer Superstatic well and truly on the map.
