Deception (Video Game)	comment	Being the hero is so dull. You know... it's always the same: Grab your sword, run to the castle of evil, fight against the boss, easily beat him, save the world, everybody loves you, right?Well, perhaps it's time to play from another angle. After all, playing for the other team has its benefits, too.In 1996, for the Sony PlayStation, Tecmo released Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness, which, while not a smash success by any stretch of the imagination, allowed the player to do something not often seen in video games: play as the bad guy. The goal of the story was to resurrect Satan, and instead of doing so with direct combat, you utilized a series of deadly traps that you placed throughout your castle. The game did well enough to spark a small series.The series in general follows the same pattern, with you having to protect your castle for one reason or another, with Death Traps and gizmos. The biggest selling points in general is the same: play from an unusual point of view (the Trap Master) and kill your enemies in gruesome ways. In most of them you are plain evil, but some of them try to leave you in a more ambiguous position, where it's not clear which side is the good one. This actually makes the experience stronger, as one is not sure if what you are doing is right or wrong.The Deception games consist of:Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness (Kokumeikan) — Released in July, 1996; rereleased as a PSOne Classic in 2015. As a nameless prince of Zemekia, the player has been framed for the murder of the king by his brother Yurias in a bid for the throne, and he is spirited away by a demoness named Astarte to make a Deal with the Devil to get his revenge.Kagero: Deception II (Kagero: Kokumeikan Shinsho) — Released in July, 1998. A girl named Millennia is caught up as a Meat Puppet in a power struggle between the Timenoids and the humans over whom they reign.Deception III: Dark Delusion (Soumatou) — Released in December, 1999. A girl named Reina has been abducted, along with her family, to be sold into slavery in a neighboring kingdom. She is freed by a rebel faction and must decide whose side she is on.Trapt (Kagero II: Dark Illusion) — Released in June, 2005; rereleased as a PS2 Classic in 2014. Princess Allura has been framed for the murder of her father and flees to a dark castle to escape execution, and while there, a demon offers her a chance for revenge.Deception IV: Blood Ties (Kagero: Darkside Princess) — Released in March, 2014. Centered around a girl named Laegrinna, an "animated fragment of the imprisoned Devil's soul", she operates under the guidance of three servants: Veruza, Caelea, and Lilia. Received an Updated Re-release in 2015 as Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess (Kagero: Another Princess). This version introduces a new 100-level Quest Mode starring the titular Nightmare Princess, Velguirie. It's also a full-blown Crisis Crossover.Not to be confused with Dark Deception.

Deception (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
Deception (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: The vase traps. They're what will net you your highest combos early on, especially if you never repeat yourself in a combo. Your starting traps. None of them are fancy, but they have the advantage of having faster cool-down times than the more damaging traps you get later. Also given that most of the rooms that you fight in are fairly cramped, starting traps like Pushwall and Springboard are far more precise at setting up a victim for combos and room traps than their high-end counterparts which will likely shoot the victim across the room to safety. Finally a surprising number of your starting traps have good hitting power like the Boulder or Swinging Blade. While some of your starting traps will go obsolete, a fair number of them are good to the end of the game. However, at least in Blood Ties, none compare to the Lethal Lance. It's a wall trap that immediately shoots lances two spaces forward and pulls its target against the wall. Nothing special like the iron maiden or the many fan traps, but it is an incredibly useful tool in starting combos due to how easy it is to score a hit with it, or even continuing combos that otherwise would've been dead because the victim was flat against the floor!

You don't get access to such traps again until Chapter 11, and even then you have to spend gold to create new ones. Laegrinna's tutorial stages in IV allow you to set up to five traps at a time to demonstrate some more advanced concepts properly. Once you get into the game proper you're limited to three until you buy upgrades a good hour or so later.

Two major gameplay features that were dropped was the ability to make your own layout of the castle, and creating monsters from the corpses of invaders which you could also send to damage enemies. It's also been referenced the least outside of Kagero's implication of Astarte being an older Millennia.

Deception (Video Game) / int_5405b144	comment	Scratch Damage: In Deception III later enemies have defense so high that a lot of low damage traps will do only a single point of damage. Arrow traps are especially hard hit by this since many of them only do damage rather than move an enemy around or hold them. Some enemies will actually take only one point of damage even from your hardest-hitting traps, so low-damage multi-hit traps become better than hitting with a single Spike Ball. Later games don't have enemies with such ridiculously high defense, this keeps your old traps from going obsolete and allows you to use a wider variety of traps. Armored enemies in both versions of IV can have sky-high defense after the first few chapters, but there's a whole mechanic for getting past that.

So it's a good thing that few enemies can keep up to your character when she starts running and you have the ability to roll away from an attack - the closest the enemy have are the agile characters like ninjas and thieves jumping away from a limited set of traps. Just be careful, some enemies have a rush attack that's more like low altitude flight and certain bosses can have ones that can almost reach the end of a room.

Essentially, they just replaced "Kokumeikan" with "Deception". The third game, Soumatou, was dolled up as Deception III: Dark Delusion. The fourth Kagero 2: Dark illusion was reversed dolled-up, as Trapt. Finally, Kagero: Darkside Princess and Kagero: Another Princess became Deception IV: Blood Ties and Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess. So basically, the series is called Kagero in Japan and Deception overseas... more or less.

Deception (Video Game) / int_f642b1f9	comment	You Bastard!: Every person you kill in the fourth game will be accompanied by a cutscene where they utter some mournful last words. Combined with the above trope, it serves as a reminder that you're torturing and killing individuals.

Deception (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4	comment	Video Game Cruelty Potential: The other entire point of the series. Explicitly personified in Blood Ties. Laegrinna's three accomplices rate your kills in three terms — Sadistic Torment, Elaborate Death, and Humiliating Demise. Each of them offer optional objectives based on their respective virtues.

Deception (Video Game) / int_f97ab6a5	comment	Suicidal Overconfidence: Played straight with most invaders, but a few will realize what they're up against and make efforts to escape. Whether they succeed or not can possibly change the storyline.

Deception (Video Game) / int_fa59871	comment	Equipment-Based Progression: Invitation to Darkness has a leveling system whose only real purpose is to unlock new breeds of trap and monsters for you to research (the stats in that game mean very little overall). The sequels focus strictly on traps and forging new ones from old templates.

Deception (Video Game) / int_fceae121	comment	Alternate Self: In The Nightmare Princess, due to the weird setting there's basically two versions of each of the other trap mistresses running around. One version loses their soul, while the other goes home. Velguirie herself gets one in Kanata Fuyuno, the high-school girl who dreamed her up.

Deception (Video Game) / int_ff074ad4	comment	Cast from Lifespan: In Deception III, this is the price for using traps too much—you'll wind up killing yourself eventually. Unfortunately Reina doesn't have any choice because a whole lot of people keep trying to kill her.
