Unlike games such as Fire Emblem and Disgaea, battling enemies in Mask of Deception feels like an afterthought of sorts.

As you’d expect experience points are gained after an attack and points can be allocated towards stats like defence and speed when you’re done. There’s an element of quick time events (QTE) as well and a Zeal Gauge which allows you an extra turn when full. Movement takes place across a grid-based map and in case you mess up, the game lets you rewind your moves too. While the visual novel elements of Mask of Deception hold their own thanks to stellar music and solid art direction, we can’t really say the same for its attempts at being an SRPG. There’s isn’t much in the way of a different outcome or ending, and a lot of the narrative builds towards its sequel that’s out later this year. When options are presented, the game requires you to go through all of them to progress. Mask of Deception is linear unlike other visual novels in this sense. There isn’t much in the way of player choice though. Every other character - from a princess to who rides a giant bird in combat, to a rowdy mercenary - all sport their own unique personalities. The opening hours of Mask of Deception focus on the interactions between Haku and Kuon - a girl with cat ears and a tail. You’ll interact with other characters against static backdrops for the majority of your time, and combat (when it arises) feels like it was added later as an afterthought by developer Aquaplus.īe prepared for a slow burn when you play the game. We say “few” because for the most part, Mask of Deception plays like a visual novel.

You take on the role of Haku, a full human, and over the course of your 30-hour journey you’ll uncover your past, learn about this mysterious new world, and indulge in more than a few sections of turn-based strategy. The game is set in the world of Yamato, which is populated by half-human, half-animal hybrids. Like most RPGs, Mask of Deception starts off with one of the most overused genre tropes - an amnesiac protagonist.
