The Deception games consist of:
#''Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness'' (''Kokumeikan'') -- Released in July, 1996. As a [[Hello, Insert Name Here|nameless]] prince of Zemekia, the player has been framed for the murder of the king by his brother Yurias in a bid for the throne, and he is spirited away by a demoness named Astarte to make a [[Deal Withwith the Devil]] to get his revenge.
 
#''Kagero: Deception II'' (''Kagero: Kokumeikan Shinsho'') -- Released in July, 1998. A girl named Millennia is caught up as a [[Meat Puppet]] in a power struggle between the [[Blue Blood|Time]][[Immortality|noids]] and the humans over whom they reign.
Line 42:
* [[Damage Discrimination]]: Averted; you can get caught in your own traps or by environmental objects if you're not paying attention.
* [[Death Trap]]: The entire point of the series.
** [[Annoying Arrows]] / [[Arrows Onon Fire]]
** [[Bottomless Pits]]
** [[Descending Ceiling]]
Line 55:
* [[Easter Egg]]: Rename Millennia "Astarte" and you start with some extra Ark to spend.
* [[Enemy Scan]]: Each game lets you check out the statistics of invaders before you enter into combat with them.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: Princess Fiana and Princess <s>Alicia</s> Allura.
* [[The Evil Prince]]: Yurias.
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Several, notably Zamur in ''Invitation to Darkness'' and Deadmoon in ''Kagero''.
* [[Evolving Weapon|Evolving Trap]]: They merely get stronger and more durable in earlier games, but later on, you can add special effects to them as well. Monsters in ''Invitation To Darkness'' can level up, too.
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: For whatever reason, "Timenoid" is shortened down to "TMD". "AUO" in ''Dark Delusion'' stands for [http://www.accessup.org/pj/6_C4D5B2B0/i20050719.html Alendar Umbral Operations], although this is never mentioned in the game.
* [[Genre Shift]]: First-person RPG for the first game to third-person action-RPG for the sequels.
* [[Green Lantern Ring]]: The magical stone which allows Reina to control traps in ''Dark Delusion''.
Line 70:
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: The third game always refers to [[TRA Ps]] in all capitals, for some reason.
* [[The Joys of Torturing Mooks]]
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: It helps if you douse the invader with oil first.
* [[Loads and Loads of Loading]]
* [[Made a Slave]]: Millennia; was supposed to happen to Reina and her family, but her mother and brother were murdered, and Reina herself was rescued from prison.
Line 78:
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Never fewer than three, for all four games.
* [[New Game+]]
* [[Oddly -Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]: ''Trapt'' is the worst offender, but if it wasn't for the [[Numbered Sequel|numbering]] in the first three, few people would know they were related at first glance.
* [[Perverse Puppet]]: Magic Dolls.
* [[Played for Laughs]]: Some of the traps cause comedic effects, such as a vase falling on someone's head or a rotating floor that throws off their balance.
Line 87:
* [[Say My Name]]: "Marco? Marco?! Marco! MARCO!"
** '''POLO!'''
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: And you're the one working to break said seal.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: Of a sort. ''Invitation to Darkness''' manual spoils that {{spoiler|Fiana}} can be used as a monster.
* [[Standard Status Effects]]
