Use the deadliness of viruses against themselves and try to save the world in Deflector from the 29th of September

RedDeer.Games, one of the leading indie game developers and publishers for Nintendo Switch consoles, has announced the release date of the futuristic bullet-hell game – Deflector. Acclaimed by both players and the press, the game will hit Nintendo Switch and XBOX consoles on September, 29.

Watch the trailer of Deflector

Deflector is a futuristic, roguelike hack’n’slash game of high difficulty in which players will be thrown straight into the middle of a rapid-fire battle for survival, where reflexes and speed of reaction determine the existence or… extermination.

The world is completely hostile, almost completely taken over by viruses. But there is hope of defeating them, however small.



Players will choose one from six available characters, each with a different set of skills and abilities. In the extremely dynamic gameplay, they will have to deflect a hail of enemy bullets and perform outstanding and uncountable combos to survive and emerge from the battle unscathed.

The game provides complete freedom in the choice of fighting styles. By trying out and testing characters and their weapons, battling styles, skills, strike sets and stats, players will be able to find and choose their favorite approach to combat.



There will be beautiful but deadly locations to slash through and free from the control of viruses. Players will have to pay attention to the traps lurking around them. Electric fence, spikes, or toxic water – danger will be in a different form at each location. 

Will players manage to prevent the viruses from completely taking over the world?



Deflector will be available on Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S.

Sacrifice Your Friends, a Lovecraftian party game in cute horror style, will launch on consoles and PC later this year

Sacrifice Your Friends is a 1- 4 players party brawler inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The game was successfully funded on Kickstarter and chosen as a finalist in the Ubisoft Indie Series competition.

You battle your friends in dynamic, trap-filled arenas. This fast-paced party game in a cute cartoon horror style, created by Astrolabe Interactive, will be released on Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X and Nintendo Switch later this year, thanks to RedDeerGames.

READY FOR SHEER MADNESS?
There is nothing sweeter than a chibi Cthulhu. But don’t be fooled by the cartoon style, Sacrifice Your Friends is a true challenge.

The game is fast and dynamic, and the battles are intense. Randomly appearing weapons and various traps make you think on your feet and never stay in one place too long.

Of course, unless you want to be sacrificed.


FOR LOVECRAFT FANS

The Mountain of Madness or the Nameless City catacombs are places that every Lovecraft fan will definitely recognize. Story mode will take you and your friends to locations inspired by the writer’s novels.

Would you prefer to explore the universe of H.P. Lovecraft by yourself? No problem. The brave one can go on a dangerous journey all alone in a single-player mode.

WHO SAID THAT HORROR CAN’T BE FUNNY? 
Sacrifice Your Friends will appeal to everyone who likes good horror… with humor. Chasing friends with an enormous axe in their hands, killer tentacles, or the odd fish-folks mob of Innsmouth – it sounds like an epic party! 

Sacrifice Your Friends Trailer is now available on YouTube:

ABOUT  H. P. LOVECRAFT
H. P. Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American horror fiction writer. He is one of the most significant authors of supernatural horror fiction, known as the creator of the Lovecraftian sci-fi-horror subgenre.

Lovecraft is best known for his horror stories „The Call of Cthulhu”, part of the Cthulhu Mythos. In his stories, the author introduced demonic creatures with supernatural powers from distant worlds, including the world-famous Cthulhu, a powerful deity depicted as half man, half dragon, and half octopus.

Lovecraft’s stories have served as the inspiration for numerous films – „Cthulhu” from 2007, HBO series – „Lovecraft Country” from 2020, and video games – f.e. „Bloodborne” by Japanese studio From Software.
