Deity is a stealth action game from developer Double++. It uses an isometric view, and while it’s a short game, it’s still pretty good and enjoyable. The mechanics are also very simple and easy to get into. You play a demon and your objective is to infiltrate the temple of angels, and it’s a lot of fun.
The Deity just requires you to play with a mouse. You play the role of a demon who has ventured into a fortress full of knights and angels. You have the power to teleport and possess flames and torches, but your weakness is light. In fact you need to steer clear from the light otherwise you will incur a lot of damage.
But Deity doesn’t leave you defenseless since you got some abilities too. You can sneak around a patrolling knight and teleport in them. This isn’t as easy as it sounds as you need to be careful and not get hit. The mechanics are simple which is why this is so easy to pick up.
The level design is pretty good and is perfect for stealth, and you need to use your strategy to get through the levels. Early in the game the enemies are spread out but they will cluster later on. This will require you to rely on strategy instead of just trying to blow everyone up. The surroundings play an important role and you have to make use of the candles, shadows and statues that are present in the hallways.
The graphics in the Deity are very good and above the average indie game, and the light and shadows really add to the game’s atmosphere. And unlike other stealth games, it never feels repetitive.
