Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess Announcement Trailer

Koei Tecmo has just released a new live action announcement trailer for the début of Deception IV The Nightmare Princess on the Playstation 4, PS3 and the PS Vita which releases on July 17th in Europe. Gamers who pre-order the title will net some neat DLC bonuses such as a ‘Grill’ trap which is a firewalking pit that will cause enemies to quickly tip toe across.

Independent retailers (through Centresoft) will be offering a ‘Kick-Off’ trap which is a mechanical apparatus that kicks high speed footballs in the direction of the enemies.

Pre-orders through the PlayStation Network and ShopTo.net will receive a ‘Golden Toilet’ trap that shows up from the floor under the unsuspecting victim’s legs, then catapults them into the air with a jet of water.

About: Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess

The Nightmare Princess follows on the heels of Deception IV: Blood Ties- which revolved around Laegrinna, a deceitful fragment of the Devil’s soul who chose between Sadistic Torment, Elaborate Death, or Humiliating Demise, to defeat her foes through trickery. In this new installment players not only relive Laegrinna’s entire pursuit to free her father, the Devil, from his eternal prison, they also get introduced to an entirely new, wickedly sadistic, and infernally mischievous character: Velguirie.

Velguirie’s story is covered with a shroud of mystery and the player will have to solve the one hundred quests in the brand new Quest Mode to find out who she really is. The only certainty is that Velguirie is an incredibly dangerous creature that takes extreme pleasure in setting up intricately complex combinations of traps to lure her victims to their untimely- yet in her eyes wildly entertaining- death.
Taking the franchise’s spirit of casting the player in the side of evil up a notch, Velguirie has a unique set of abilities that develop as certain quests are completed. With an immense selection of traps at her disposal she can also try to defeat the previous protagonists of the Deception series and add them to the player’s arsenal.

Rolling boulders and spring boards, falling bathtubs and banana peels, balance beams, human cannons and iron maidens are only a few of the more than 170 traps that players can choose from to create the funniest, darkest, or most elaborate combos to defeat their adversaries in delightfully imaginative settings that include medieval castles, hospitals, playgrounds, and amusement parks.
