Deception IV - Blood Ties (USA)

A strategy game from Tecmo Koei, Deception IV - Blood Ties hands the player the role of a she-devil who eliminates her enemies not by fighting them, but by orchestrating fiendish mechanical traps, to chain into cruel and often slapstick combos. This singular concept, where you turn the environment into a torture machine, blends thinking, staging and black humour of rare originality. The repetitiveness eventually creeps in, but the ingenuity remains. For a fan of offbeat strategy or someone curious about a unique concept, the title keeps a preserved singular mechanic and cachet.
