Our take on Deflector
The bounce point arrives when projectile deflection becomes central to survival. Players who cannot read incoming shots, redirect them under pressure, and repeat failed runs for upgrades may hit the wall before reaching the Source.
What is Deflector?
Deflector is a top-down action rogue-lite set in hostile microscopic worlds filled with viruses.
Combat combines unique Bioshell weapons with the ability to redirect enemy projectiles toward their attackers. Each Bioshell has its own weapon, abilities, and deflection method; the Eradicator, available at the start, uses a boomerang. Combat experience supports research at the Hub, where modules provide access to Mutations, additional Bioshells, and persistent upgrades. Worlds contain varied hostile fauna, ranging from small enemies that attack in groups to an Apex Virus at each world's end. Runs involve repeated deaths and progression as players learn to overcome enemies and work toward reaching the Source.
