What Exactly Is Liar’s Bar?
Picture this: talking animals, cards, dice, and Russian roulette. You enter a bar, pick an anthropomorphic character (from Bristle the pig to Foxy the goth fox), and sit down at a table with three other players. What do you do? You bluff. A lot.
Every game is a battle of deception: whether you’re rolling dice in “Liar’s Dice” or playing cards in “Liar’s Deck,” the basic rule is simple: if you lie and get caught, you pick up a… gun. If you’re telling the truth and aren’t believed? Yep, the gun’s in your hands again. Wholesome, right?
How Liar’s Bar Dethroned Diablo IV
Let’s be honest: Diablo IV was the game that was supposed to dominate every gamer’s year. With sky-high hype, jaw-dropping cinematics, and Blizzard riding the success wave, who would’ve expected a game about animals playing Russian roulette to deliver a knockout blow?
What happened? Liar’s Bar, an indie chaos simulator with gameplay that mixes bluffing, billiards, and Dirty Harry’s revolver, launched on Steam Early Access and surpassed Diablo IV in concurrent players. Yes, you heard it right: a buffalo in a Hawaiian shirt and a goth fox unseated the devil from his throne.
While Diablo IV watched its stats drop, Liar’s Bar soared like your ultimate cooldown during a boss fight. Over 82,000 players were online simultaneously, leaving Diablo IV unsure whether to call a hotfix or an exorcist.
Why It’s the Most “WTF” Game of the Year
Liar’s Bar isn’t for the faint-hearted. There are no “level-ups” or “power-ups” here. You only have your wits and your ability to read other players. If that fails, good luck with Russian roulette. The suspense every time someone pulls the trigger? Pure cinematic gold.
Gameplay That Makes Uno Look Boring
The game offers two modes:
- Liar’s Dice: Roll dice and make predictions about everyone’s dice at the table. The risk? A swig of poison.
- Liar’s Deck: Play cards, bluff about which ones you’re putting down, and pray no one calls out “Liar!”
Both modes share one thing: one wrong move, and your chances of survival plummet dramatically.
Why It’s the Perfect Party Game
Liar’s Bar is ideal for testing your friendships. Spotting your friends’ “tells,” fake promises, and seeing who “cracks” first will have you in stitches… until someone pulls the trigger.
Where to Find It
The game is available to try for FREE with a store account at Battlenet Gaming Stations or on Steam. We recommend playing with friends and keeping a low profile – because here, bluffs don’t go unpunished.
