About This Game

Diception is a fast-paced, minimalistic conquest game. Inspired by classics like Risk and DiceWars, it features quick turn-based matches, an extensive campaign, a built-in editor, and local multiplayer for up to 8 players. By replacing the classic isometric view with an optimized 2D Grid View, the game offers seamless Mouse, Keyboard, and Gamepad support for a lightning-fast experience.

Key Features:

  • Flat 2D Grid Maps: Diception uses a clean 2D matrix with 4-way connections. This enables lightning-fast WASD or D-Pad controls, allowing for rapid-fire gameplay without sacrificing strategic depth.

  • Deep Customization: Why settle for six sides? Battle with 1 to 16-sided dice or enable parallel turns for maximum chaos. Adjust win conditions and match settings to create your own unique way to play.

  • Adjustable Speed: Choose from 3 different animation modes. Whether you want to savor every move or "blitz" through territories in seconds, the choice is yours.

  • Massive Campaign: 84 handcrafted levels with various settings are waiting for you to master.

  • Local Multiplayer : Battle up to 8 players in local multiplayer. Thanks to Steam Remote Play Together, your friends can join the fun online even if they don't own the game!

Open Source & Community

Diception is a passion project built on transparency. We believe that game logic should be open for everyone to study. That’s why the core engine of Diception is Open Source. You can check out the code, see how the probability engine works, or even contribute.
