The Deer God, a stunning 3D pixel adventure from Blowfish Studios, will release on April 25, 2017 for PS4 and PS Vita. More than 1.5 million gamers have downloaded The Deer God on Xbox One, PC and mobile platforms. I’m one of them and found the game to be quite the delight. I also thought, while fantastic, it was better suited for mobile play, so this announcement on the Vita release is pretty neat.
The Deer God takes players on a journey of spiritual reincarnation through a beautiful pixel art world filled with vast procedurally generated landscapes, challenging puzzles and dangerous enemies. The story begins with a skilled hunter seeking to bag the largest buck for bragging rights. In an ironic turn of events, the huntsman’s life is cut short and he finds himself confronted by The Deer God, who reincarnates the hunter as a fawn in an act of karmic retribution.
Armed with only their quick wits and incredible athletic ability, players control the newly-born deer who must evade danger around every turn and complete puzzles to unlock new skills and abilities in their quest for survival and to return to humanity.
As each day and night cycle passes, fawns will grow and mature allowing them to mate. Each new fawn grants the player an extra life for reincarnation. After facing an enemy, deer can replenish their health by eating the surrounding vegetation.
“We were honored and humbled to be invited to share The Deer God’s epic adventure with the passionate PlayStation community,” said Ben Lee, CEO, Blowfish Studios. “After such an overwhelming reception from the previous platform releases, we know they will enjoy it as much as their Xbox counterparts.”
