Blowfish Studios in collaboration with Crescent Moon Games will simultaneously release The Deer God, a the pretty sweet looking 3D pixel adventure, on PS4 and Vita in early 2017. More than 1.5 million people have downloaded The Deer God on Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices. I got it via the Games with Gold promotion on Xbox One and really enjoyed the game.
The Deer God takes players on a journey of spiritual reincarnation where the hunter becomes the hunted. Set in a colorful 3D pixel art world, players explore vast landscapes, tackle challenging puzzles to unlock skills and abilities, while avoiding hunters and other dangerous enemies in the quest for survival.
The story follows a hunter as he attempts to take out the largest buck for bragging rights. His expedition takes a turn for the worst when he gets mauled to death and comes face to face with The Deer God. Reincarnated as a fawn, the hunter returns to his world and must stay alive as he traverses a procedurally generated world.
Players are granted one life and feed to replenish their health. As fawns progresses through the day and night cycles in the game, they mature, allowing them to mate with doe and have offspring. Each fawn that is born offers players another life, should they die.
“The Deer God delivers an exciting and moving experience within a gorgeous world with Metroidvania-like gameplay,” said Ben Lee, CEO, Blowfish Studios “It is an honor to bring a game enjoyed by so many gamers to the PlayStation community.”
