Liberte
Lets Talk On Discord!
About the GameIn Liberté, you immerse yourself in the rogue-like adventure that infuses the French Revolution-era setting with cosmic horrors know from H.P. Lovecraft. Choose your allies, fight relentless enemies and decide who will bring the new order in the terror-filled Paris.
Your stats don’t dictate the outcome of a fight. Get into a perfect position to snipe multiple enemies at once and use dodge and roll to avoid getting hit. Enemies clearly telegraph their attacks, so if you mess up, you know how to improve. With each level you climb, enemies become faster, coordinate their attacks better and fill the screen with their deadly abilities.
Skills in Liberte use a unique cooldown system – instead of waiting idly for skills to recharge, jump into the fight! With each hit of your melee weapon, your skills recharge one cooldown point. Weaving chains of basic attack combos and burst damage skills allows you to clear entire rooms of enemies with ease!
Your equipment and skills and are defined by what Cards are in your Deck and in what order you play them during a run. At the moment, there is a little over 100 cards in the game. Some of these cards create powerful synergies with others.
To make things easy to grasp, we have assembled the cards into Sets. For example, in the Pistolier Set, you’ll find pistol skills and cards that improve ranged attacks. The Assassin Set contains sneaky skills and talents that make your backstabs stronger. You can mix these cards in any way you want. Sets are here only to suggest good combinations.
You start with 40 unlocked cards and 3 starter decks to try things out. Once you get a feel for things, Liberte encourages you to modify and create your own decks.
Play the game solo, or in co-op – local, online or any mix of the two. Party leader decides when the players venture forth into a mission. However, during a mission, every major decision (like, which faction to side with) is made using a Vote system.
When you’re playing online and run into a Story area, each player sees his own version of that space, based on where in the game’s story he is. So, there are no conflicts and no spoilers when playing with others. And of course, everyone gets their fair share of loot.
King Louis has died in mysterious circumstances. Now that Paris has no ruler, four factions clash to win the City for themselves. Play as René – a Parisian with an obscure past, whose close connection to supernatural beings places him right in the middle of the intrigue.
- Fight for the rights of the spiritual 💀Tribe
- Rebuild the power of the aristocratic 👑Crown
- Cleanse the evil with the devout ⛪Congregation
- Spread anarchy with flame-loving 🔥Rebels
And hey, if you want to focus on the story, Liberte comes with a Story Mode that makes combat a breeze.
Along with the revolt came Lady Bliss, a ruthless deity that brought you back from the dead to do her will. Solve the mystery of the blight that turns Parisians into numbed monsters, all serving the horrifying Lady Bliss. Enter her wicked gardens, and see what her arrival means for the city and its future.

The combat in this one slaps. My zombie boy Rene is kicking aristocratic butts left and right. Love it. Give me some more bosses for each faction and we're golden - cause right now boss fights feel the same difficulty, no matter if you get one at lvl 5 or 15.

Liberte seems like a promising and somewhat fresh take on a roguelike game.
Over the couple hourse I've put into it, I traversed various locations, met a couple of characters and slashed through dozens of enemies. It has an interesting artstyle that combines revolutionary-era France with some of more fantastical/demonic elements. The game itself looks fine and I'm really fond of the painterly character portraits.
I was pleasantly surprised with how the controller support is implemented as of now, as its still in early access. I got used to other games doing it poorly or not at all, so - apart from some hitches - i liked how the gameplay felt. Combat itself is also pretty meaty and there's always a bonus point from me for ragdolling corpses.
I must say, that I'm not really into sinking lots of time into early access games, but I'd definitely check Liberte out again, when it releases.

I really like this game, the combination of deck-builder and Diablo-style action rpg is interesting, and the overall feel of "Thief/Dishonoured meets Revolutionary France" is great.
However there are still a fair few technical rough edges, transitions between scenes can be choppy and unexpected, the scenes are cluttered, its revolutionary Paris, so it makes sense, but some clipping issues are obviously still occurring.
Combat and gameplay is fun, I do find myself wishing there was more general interaction with the crowds and residents of the city, maybe some side plots? At the moment it feels very linear which is fine, and its not expensive, so by all means give this a go but bear in mind it still needs a lot of work.
Overall I'm enjoying it, though!

The game is in early access and it shows. But I for one can see the potential in this title. There is still a lot of polishing to be done like:
- fixing the enemy AOE indicators cause they sometimes didn't appear for me
- add more animations maybe?
- the transitions between levels are kinda weird to me, very sudden
- I'm not a fan of whole walls disappearing when you get close to them
- I'm also not a fan of the 3D cutscenes. You guys have awesome 2D artists! Use their skills!
- pleaseeee add an option to zoom out
- the running audio gets annoying really fast at least to me
- I don't think that blocking content in story mode is a good move tbh. You're blocking players who are not great at those types of games from getting the full experience of your game, so personally I would rethink that
To end on a positive note here are the things that I like:
- the art is nice, I would even go further and make cutscenes in 2D like I've said before
- the music is also very nice
- the story seems interesting, French Revolution with a fantasy twist with not 2 but 4 fractions you can work with!
All in all there is still a lot of work to be done here but there is potential for the game to turn out great.

A fabulous art style and a very original setting blend beautifully with exciting locations and an excellent combat and deckbuilding system. The developers are also very close to the community and are actively involved in the project's development, providing regular updates. Having such a gem in a genre without many titles is marvelous.
