What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“DEFLEX is built around combinations of cards and abilities. We want to see the tactics players discover, what makes duels more fun, and where the balance needs work. Early Access will help us use that feedback to shape the game as development continues.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 6 months.”

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

“We plan to expand the selection of cards and arenas and refine abilities and their interactions. We also aim to improve balance, controls, and online stability. Our priorities will depend on testing and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay is already in place, with same-screen duels, online play, and matches against bots. We are continuing to refine the balance, fix bugs, and improve the gameplay.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“We plan to collect feedback, suggestions, and bug reports through Steam Discussions. Examples of overpowered card combinations, issues in online matches, and feedback on arenas will be especially helpful. We will use this feedback to guide our priorities and share updates through Steam announcements.”

About This Game

DEFLEX is a chaotic top-down party shooter for up to 8 players, built around card combos. Cards are picked between rounds and combine with each other.

Build something ridiculous

Mix cards however you like. Bullets bounce off walls and split. A shot that hits a wall releases a swarm of bees. A meteor lands right where you aimed, and the floor gives way under your enemy. A ram, an explosion or a harpoon can throw a rival out of the arena, and the more hurt they are, the farther they fly. There are also set bonuses for three cards of one element, deals that come with a curse, and legendary cards that change the rules.



Cards between rounds

After every round, the players who lost pick a new card. Whoever is behind gets stronger, so fights stay close even when friends play at very different levels.

Game modes

  • Online play with friends
  • Two players on one PC, each with their own controls
  • Duels and free-for-alls against bots, with a choice of difficulty
  • Animal fighters, an arena editor and achievements
