Kiev, Ukraine, January 27th 2022 - Developer Arrowfist Games and publisher Super.com are excited to announce that high-octane rogue-lite shooter Deflector has been unleashed on Steam Early Access today. Mixing up bullet hell mechanics and rogue-lite gameplay for an adrenaline-fuelled adventure, Deflector is packed with an incredible arsenal of futuristic weapons and abilities that lets Players shoot and smash their way through alien worlds to the explosive beat of a thrashing heavy metal soundtrack. Deflector’s titular mechanic allows players to turn the tables on their enemies, with the ability to deflect attacks and deal out devastating damage on the rebound.
Stepping into the microscopic world of Deflector, players take control of an experimental ‘Specimen’. Each Specimen is gifted with unique abilities that can be modified and customised to suit individual playstyles by collecting DNA strains discovered across the game’s environments. Each playthrough offers a unique, non-linear journey through the game’s alien landscapes, packed full of distinct enemy types, environmental challenges and surprises lurking around every corner.
Deflector’s free-form upgrade system allows players to evolve their Specimen with a variety of different skill combinations to wreak havoc across the battlefield as they push back the hordes of nasty viruses intent on taking them down. The flexibility offered by these upgrade paths allows for vastly different attack and movement options between Specimens, while their attacks can range from damage-dealing electric chains, explosive Specimen clones and even the ability to raise the ground itself.
Players can also download the free playable experience, Deflector: Specimen Zero, on Steam to get some combat practice and a first-hand go at the wild gameplay possibilities Deflector has to offer. Specimen Zero gives players a thirty-minute replayable sequence within the chaotic world of Deflector, and completing it will unlock an exclusive specimen skin that can be equipped when the game launches into Early Access.
