The award-winning, visionary new take on digital comics
Liberated is an action-adventure game that unfolds across the pages of a comic book. Seamlessly merging the art of hand-drawn graphic novels with interactivity and side-scrolling action, it’s a revolutionary combination of video games and comics.
Freedom is a matter of perspective
In this near-future dystopia, the eerily familiar always-online society gives way to complete government control—all in the name of safety. But in the midst of it all, an insurgent group known as “Liberated” rises.
What is Liberated?
Side-scrolling action
Intense adventure brimming with gunfights, stealth, puzzles and platforming action.
Cyberpunk Near-future
Social networks, facial recognition, fake news, citizen credit systems. A familiar world in which technology empowers control over the people.
Order & Revolution
A story of authoritarianism—how it is born in a democracy and consumes it. Liberated men and women rise against the new world order, but at what cost?
Multiple Perspectives
A dramatic story told through unique points of view. Play as individuals locked in a clash of ideals. This is not a simple tale of good versus evil, you must witness what transpires from many points of view to parse the truth.
The games premise is very interesting and more relevant now than ever.
I liked the comic book aesthetic and the characters even though they could be more developed.
Gameplay is little bit bare bones but the focus of the game is clearly in the narrative. I would love to have sequel some day but for now i am happy with what i got.
For the price some people may find the game to be to expensive for the time you get out of it so i would suggest if you are unsure wait for a sale. If the topic interests you and you like the art style go for it
I can't even finish this it's so frustrating. You'll get bugs that you don't even know are bugs. "Why can't I progress? why isn't the thing here that's supposed to be, I must be doing something wrong." I kept trying to finish one scene for 45 minutes but couldn't. Restart the game later on and the event started like it's supposed to, meaning I literally wasted 45 minutes because of the buggy state of this game.
The game starts off fine, hitting head shots and dumping mags feels pretty nice. The story is good enough, and the sound design and music is excellent. Fast forward a little bit, I'm dumping a full magazine into the back of someone's head before they turn around, and they don't die. I now have to choose them in the legs to kill them?
I just rage quit and going to uninstall because of a particular scene, granted, I'm not even far into this game. You're hanging off a ledge, it doesn't say what you're supposed to do, you can't see below you. I just keep trying to jump right and falling off and dying, literally wasted 30 minutes.
I don't know why they had to add all this parkour platforming kind of element to it. I'm playing as some boomer detective.. I'm scaling the side of a building? Riding falling scaffolding? Really?
I was hesitant to buy this game originally because it's a port, but Walkabout are good to goggers. I felt I had to post this though as somewhat of a warning. I may give this another go later on.
I love the story and although the gameplay might be a bit rough sometimes, it was nothing really serious...
Really recommend to everyone who loves stories about good old dystopian digital totality and freedom fighters trying to break it...
I like the noir emotional 2.5D sidescrollers, and this one delivers. It is well worked through. The side-scrolling action is interspersed with the flipping comics. One cannot just flip through the comics because of a delay time of couple of seconds before one can hit the click button. You have two seconds to contemplate about what just happened. The content of the slide just burns into your mind.
PROs: The game is beautiful, artistically. The visuals can be a bit bland in some cases, but the execution is golden. Moving from panel to panel as you play the game and progress the story lends a great feel to the whole experience, and it's probably the one reason I'd say you should pick this game up. Other than that, a great majority of the
CONs: The story feels like it's lacking something... The entire game centers around a high-tech problem that a group wants to get rid of by using decidedly low-tech solutions (guns and bombs) despite having access to some high-tech individuals.
The gameplay includes the ability to sneak and hide, but you'll never need to use it due to the lackluster A.I. Enemies won't actively shoot until they've reached a specific distance from you, making it possible to just fire away at them before they get close enough.
Lastly, there are quick time events. There was a time when the gaming industry realized that no one enjoyed QTE's, and they moved away from the mechanic, but for some reason, the devs of this game never quite got that message.
Overall, the visual style alone makes me want to keep an eye out on the developer's future projects, but I can't recommend this game until elements with the gameplay are patched.
