POCG VERDICT
Ugly and stiff, but a gleefully devious blast to play.
Forget the drab graphics: Tecmo's trap-'em-up is pure devious fun, built on chainable traps and combo timing. A solo strategist's delight.
About This Game
Kagero: Deception II is a 1998 strategy game from Tecmo for the PlayStation. You play the guardian of a castle, luring intruders into elaborate, chainable traps rather than fighting them directly. This sequel hands the role to a young woman and refines the trap-combo system of the original Deception.
