Product description

Product Information
After you magical sword kills your father, the King, your brother accuses you of murder. You are found guilty and sentenced to burn at the stake. With the flames rising around you, you call out for help an agent of the devil saves you, but you must pay with your soul. Now, you are the guardian of a wicked castle, and your sole purpose is to lure and kill adventurers in hopes of reviving Satan. However, you do not face the adventurers directly. You must place traps around the castle and use yourself as bait to lure the invaders into the traps. Do you kill for gold, sacrifice souls for magic, or try to keep the bodies around to create monsters? The choices are yours in TECMO'S DECEPTION: Invitation to Darkness.

    ONE OF THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Created: 08/09/07
    This is by far one of the best games ever made for its time. There's so much you can do and you do it how you want to. You take over a castle where you control anything and everything. Your brother frames you for murder of your own father and you are sentenced to death at the stake. As your last plea you beg for any help to get back at him and your wish is granted...the devil gives you amazing powers to do about anything. This game sounds kind of wierd and sick but it is hours and hours of fun! You can add on to your castle, set traps, walk around as you please, and so much more. Any little price you can find this game for....BUY IT! You won't regret it!

    I love this game it was what i call manhunt before manhunt came out. Traps stealing souls making monsters and building you castle what a way to live and play. Great game first in the series of deception games and the most different of the four of them. A must have for a gamer and collector. You must use yourself as bait and trap your victims love the way you have to play in the dark for the real feel of the game.

    A very rare game...

    Created: 16/08/07
    This is pretty much a rare game for the Playstation, in most cases you will see this game going for at least $20 or more and when you think about it, that's the price of a Playstation 2 Greatest Hits game.

    This game flew under the radar of most gamers, since it came out in the heyday of the Playstation, the ESRB rated this game Teen and in all honest, it probably should have been rated M for Mature. After all, the game involves capturing and in some cases killing people that are breaking into the Castle of the Damned. It also has Satanic references, which in later sequels it would shy away from the satanic references.

    I bought this game simply because it's quite unique, you basically see the action from a First Person View and being that this is a role playing game, you can clearly see why it is so unique.

    Awesome old school rpg game. I love it, the only thing that I could complain about would be the fact that you have to have 9 blocks of memory on the card. Other than that it is a fantastic game!!!
