Deified Leaves Early Access With Japanese Support And 96 Percent Steam Rating
Unexpected released the turn-based tactical roguelite Deified on Steam on September 22, Japan time, ending an early access period that began April 27. Goblinz Publishing joined as publisher in July and the extra time went to bug fixes and polishing, with September 21 set as the official date. Version 1.0 adds balance adjustments, UI and visibility improvements, quality-of-life changes, and new content, plus Japanese in-game text. The game costs 1,900 yen, with a 10 percent launch discount to 1,710 yen for 14 days. Steam user reviews sit at 96 percent positive from 281 reviews, a Very Positive status as of the time of writing. Players take the role of Sator in a dark fantasy world built around the defiled Rhinegold, repairing relics from identical fragments, equipping them in slots that each carry a benefit and a penalty, and fighting seven cursed bosses on a grid.
