In 1996, the PlayStation became the breeding ground for a sadistic new strategy game. Named Tecmo’s Deception, the game featured crudely rendered traps and torture inflicted upon unsuspecting entrants into the Castle of the Damned. Something about this polygonal violence struck a chord with gamers as it quickly became a series. Kagero: Deception II and Deception III: Dark Delusion both followed on PS1, while Trapt came a few years later on PS2. After that, the Deception series went silent — until Tecmo Koei revealed a new entry was coming.
