Summary
From the producer of Fatal Frame comes the re-imagining of the classic Tecmo title "Devil's Deception", first released in 1996 on the PlayStation. The Deception series uniquely focuses in giving players a taste of what its like to play on the side of evil by using a wide variety of imaginative traps to exact revenge on their adversaries. Deception IV: Blood Ties is, much like its predecessors, a strategy focused action series where players control a main character that defeats enemies by luring them into imaginative traps.

Critic Reviews19
In its current state, it's a relic with a coat of paint on top, and it's not likely to keep anyone's attention for very long.

Deception IV requires a special sensibility to Japanese games, as it's something original that could be much better and that is still made for a market niche.
April 21, 2014
Deception IV is a hint of Japan in a standardised market, a solid sequel that preserves the taste of an uncommon gameplay.
