Is Kagero - Kokumeikan Shinshou still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to Tecmo's Deception, Kagero - Deception II flips the codes of action by making the player the master of a trapped mansion, tasked with luring intruders to an elaborate death through chained traps. The system of combining pits, slabs and walls, deep and gleeful, creates a unique, grim strategic experience. The stiff movement and an austere production have aged. A fascinating macabre curiosity for fans of original gameplay and games with a singular atmosphere.
