Kagero: Deception II is the sequel to Tecmo's Deception. It follows a similar, hard-to-classify gameplay style, which can be perhaps defined as a real-time strategy game with RPG elements. Instead of commanding troops and units, Millennia has to place traps and activate them to prevent the intruders from conquering the castle. Unlike the first game, Kagero: Deception II is played from a third-person perspective. A major addition to the gameplay is the introduction of "trap combos": traps can be positioned in such a way that they will trigger each other, leading to powerful combinations that would harm the invaders more. The game also allows to customize traps and use various materials to build new ones. As before, the main character and her traps grow in power in correspondence with the amount of enemies killed, lending the game a RPG flavor. The morality system also present in this sequel, as the player can decide for Millennia whom to kill and whom to spare. Eventually, the player will be able to choose to join either the Timenoids or the humans. Read less

In Kagero Deception II you are Millenia, a young woman that serves an immortal, blue skinned race called "timenoids". Alone in dark, gloomy ruins and castles, you must defend yourself and your masters using traps that you set in the rooms, since you cannot attack the enemies directly. You can set the traps in almost any place in the rooms, in the ceiling, in the walls or in the floor. To activate the trap, you can just press the triangle, X or square buttons. This makes the activation of the traps very fast, it is even possible to make combos with the traps. The rooms sometimes are also filled with traps that are permanent and that you do not control. The story is good, filled with characters and twists and turns. Also, you get the feeling that there are no good or bad, just power struggles between those in power. I think it is a very good game, an original one, and one of the best experiences I had on the PS1.
