Lasers, portals, mirrors… what could be more awesome? Destroy the enemy’s king with your laser by moving and rotating mirrors and by strategically using the special abilities some pieces possess. Play against friends (local and online) or against the AI (possibly)!
## About This Game
Deflection is a strategy board game, inspired from the classic Laser Chess
games and the famous board game Khet. Move and rotate different pieces to
destroy the enemy with your laser!
With a variety of pieces each having different advantages, abilities and
weaknesses, use the one move you are allowed per turn to strategically bring
you closer to victory. Enemy mirrors, Disruptors, Portals etc. can be used to
your advantage!
At the end of every turn, you must shoot your laser… be careful not to hit
your own pieces!
## Strategy and rules
To win, you have to destroy the enemy’s king. Most pieces can move in all
directions by one cell and rotate 90 degrees, which constitutes one move.
Advanced pieces such as the Disruptor can disable and weaken nearby pieces,
Splicers split your laser into two, and others like the Portals can be used to
surprise your enemy from behind!
Green pieces can be controlled by both players, which provides a new twist in
your strategy.
## Play with friends
Play with your friends in the same room (local multiplayer/same PC) or
remotely in the online multiplayer game mode, to show them who is the best!
## Play and train against AI
Your friends are unavailable or you want to practice? Don’t worry, you can
play against the AI in the same scenarios/maps. The tutorial mode will guide
you through the rules and useful tactics.
It is possible that the game launches in early access with no AI (feature
complete except for the singleplayer mode).
