What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a 5-person indie game team, we hope to work with community players to continuously improve the game in the future”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“First of all, this will depend on the feedback we collect from players. Currently, we plan to release the official version of the game within a year. We firmly believe that our game will never let down the time and money invested by players.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The EA version of the game can already provide a complete gaming experience. However, we plan to continuously improve and add game elements based on community feedback during the early access phase, such as more explorable areas, more boss battles, more Side Missions, and so on.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can learn about the current state of the Early Access version from the "About this games" section, which we have completed. We are confident that the EA version will bring you the joy of combat and exploration. We will also continue to carefully polish the game to make the content more abundant.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we strongly believe that a higher price once we leave Early Access is fair.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Collecting and listening to the opinions of the player community is crucial. We will continue to collect player feedback through QQ groups, Discord servers, social channels, Steam forums, and features specifically set up in the game.”

About This Game

Don't ask, just parry!deflect is the core combat mechanic in 'Deviator' allowing you to turn the enemy's fierce attacks into nothingness with precise timing. Practice diligently, my friends; if you're too slow, you'll be defeated. You wouldn't want to take a hit from an enemy, after all.


Every battle is a tense and thrilling game of wits. When attacks and deflect succeed, the character will continuously build up momentum. Once it surpasses the threshold, you can enter a powerful enhanced state. In this state, the character gains multiple benefits, with improved damage and game feel.
While getting beaten up by monsters may look pitiful, the enhanced state truly looks cool.


This fantastical world is constructed with vivid 2D hand-drawn artistry. From enemies to buildings, and the diverse styles of different regions, everything leaves a deep impression. The lush green forests, the shadowy mechanical city, the treacherous and icy canyons... But don't get too lost in the scenery, danger lurks around every corner.


Watch your step! Danger lurks everywhere in this world. The game thoughtfully provides numerous challenging levels for you to showcase your skills. Of course, experiencing failure can be just as exhilarating. Get ready to 'suffer'
