Soumatou [Psx] - Intro
0Deception III: Dark Delusion is the third installment in Tecmo, Inc.'s unique role-playing series. Players enter a world where strategy and innovation are integral to survival, and where deceit and mysterious intentions abound. Deception III combines RPG elements with action and adventure, as deadly traps are constructed and placed to destroy enemies. The game utilizes a third person perspective, and features over 2000 trap combinations. Multiple endings are possible as the player makes decisions that will affect Reina's future. In addition to the story mode, there are Trap License, Training, and Expert options available.
What was meant to be a joyous occasion has turned into a living nightmare. Reina was in the midst of celebrating her 17th birthday, having just received a beautiful brooch from her stepmother, when two men burst into their home. Reina, her little brother, and her stepmother were kidnapped and taken to the island of Alendar, a war-torn land teeming with criminal activity. Bandits from Alendar have been raiding Reina's home of Burganfada for slave labor, and now Reina finds herself in front of the corrupt King Fredrick. What happens next will change Reina's life forever. Reina must use all of the resources at her disposal to stay alive, collecting souls and creating an arsenal of traps which will allow her to discover the true meaning of her power.
Tecmo's Deception provided a refreshing change from the standard RPG style. The game cast the player as a minion of Satan, protecting his castle from treasure hunters and knights. Instead of weapon-based combat, the player utilized traps to kill the trespassers and collect their souls. What resulted was a novel blend of strategy and action in an RPG setting.
Kagero: Deception II continued the tradition, only this time the player assumed the role of Millennia, a woman who had forgotten her past. She was brainwashed into working for the Timenoids, a race of creatures determined to obliterate mankind. Set in the same castle atmosphere as its predecessor, Kagero: Deception II improved upon the original formula with a third person view and simultaneous trap triggering. This allowed a wider variety of gruesome combinations. Both games allowed the player to explore the guilty pleasure of being evil.
