Deviator is a 2D hand-drawn Metroidvania game that has a lot in common with Hollow Knight, but uses parry and deflect systems to enhance the gameplay.
Excited for Hollow Knight: Silksong and craving a similar vibe? No worries! Gami Studio has you covered with their new game, Deviator. At first glance, it might seem like a Hollow Knight look-alike, featuring a similar art style, a small hero with a little blade, and a world full of dangers accompanied by a beautifully crafted melancholic world.
Yet, diving into the latest in-depth dev-log trailer reveals that Deviator is more than just a clone. It draws inspiration from the beloved Metroidvania title but adds its own unique twists and specialties!
Deviator is set to release in 2024 for PC and a Demo is also releasing very soon!
Deviator Excites Us With A Cool Parry Mechanic And Influences From Different Cultures
The world in Deviator is going through a strange crisis. People's memories are changing and no longer match their surroundings. You have the power to undo this and restore the world to its original state. Your mission is to uncover the truth behind this mysterious condition and heal the memories of the people, but at what cost..?
Similar to other Metroidvania games, you'll travel through the world, face multiple dangers, gain new abilities, and unlock more areas to explore. What sets this game apart is its focus on a parry-and-deflect system, known from games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Lies of P, or the underdog title Thymesia.
I believe this game has great potential and is a promising indie title. The Deviator demo releases on February 1, 2024, giving us a firsthand look!
