9 itemsAbout the Game
Don't ask, just parry！deflect is the core combat mechanic in 'Deviator' allowing you to turn the enemy's fierce attacks into nothingness with precise timing. Practice diligently, my friends; if you're too slow, you'll be defeated. You wouldn't want to take a hit from an enemy, after all.
Every battle is a tense and thrilling game of wits. When attacks and deflect succeed, the character will continuously build up momentum. Once it surpasses the threshold, you can enter a powerful enhanced state. In this state, the character gains multiple benefits, with improved damage and game feel.
While getting beaten up by monsters may look pitiful, the enhanced state truly looks cool.
This fantastical world is constructed with vivid 2D hand-drawn artistry. From enemies to buildings, and the diverse styles of different regions, everything leaves a deep impression. The lush green forests, the shadowy mechanical city, the treacherous and icy canyons... But don't get too lost in the scenery, danger lurks around every corner.
Watch your step! Danger lurks everywhere in this world. The game thoughtfully provides numerous challenging levels for you to showcase your skills. Of course, experiencing failure can be just as exhilarating. Get ready to 'suffer'
