Deception 4 gameplay footage shows trap-based combat

A short segment of gameplay footage from Tecmo’s upcoming Deception 4: Blood Ties shows how combat works via strategic placement of traps.

The video shows the game’s heroine placing traps on a stairwell before leading an enemy over them. The traps work in concert to form a lethal combination, with giant boulders and hammers falling from the sky, knocking the victim into an electrocution trap.

Deception 4 is scheduled to hit PlayStation 3 and PS Vita sometime next year in Japan, Europe and North America.
