by Rainier on Oct. 31, 2023 @ 9:18 a.m. PDT

Deflector is a non-linear action roguelite with a combat system based on deflecting projectiles and a unique skill combination system.

Deflector is a high-octane roguelite where you can turn the tide of the bullet hell against your enemies. Become a part of the experiment to eradicate deadly viruses in the most stylish way possible.

Inhabiting Deflector’s deadly sci-fi world are strange but powerful ‘Specimens’, playable characters that can be enhanced through technology using collected DNA strains. Each Specimen offers a unique gameplay experience, with DNA that can be evolved and tuned to specific loadouts to fit different play styles, an essential part of Deflector’s constantly changing, non-linear experience. Deflector will land fully armed with a free-form upgrade system to create an incredible number of powerful weapon combinations. Wreak havoc with explosive clones, shake enemies to the core with a vast ground rupture or multiply deflected projectiles back at your enemies - all to the beat of Deflector’s blood-pumping heavy metal soundtrack.

With up to seven different playable characters, exciting and frenetic action, and an endless amount of skill combinations and strategies, Arrowfist Games is looking to ensure that their first major project is infinitely replayable.

Evolve as a player, because the fringes will put your skills to the test with some MASSIVE challenges.

Deflector continues its evolutionary journey with a series of exciting updates, announcing that the Apex Rush mode is set to elevate the adrenaline-pumping experience to new heights on November 6, 2023.

In the Apex Rush mode players will plunge into a hostile microcosm, confronting waves of projectile-spewing viruses as the Specimen - a key candidate in the Deflector experiment's quest for the ultimate cure.

In Apex Rush mode, players are thrust into an intense battleground where their skills are put to the test against the deadliest viruses in the game. Brace yourselves for an action-packed adventure where survival demands sharp reflexes, strategic thinking, and mastery of combat techniques. The Apex Rush mode promises an immersive and heart-pounding experience, inviting players to confront the greatest threats Deflector has ever seen.
