Deflection-focused metroidvania Deviator will be launching in Early Access on August 2, developer Gami Studio and publisher SapStaR Games have recently announced. Now, you may be wondering what I meant by “deflection-focused”, so let’s go over that real quick: Deviator will have you traverse many diverse landscapes and tackle countless dangerous foes, but the way to victory isn’t necessarily through endless button mashing – instead, you’ll want to avoid getting hit and skillfully parry/deflect all your enemies’ attacks. The more you do this, the more momentum you build, which eventually lets you enter an enhanced, high-powered state in order to dish out massive amounts of damage and fully obliterate your foe. The game’s latest trailer showcases this and much more, so have a look at it below:
