Marcus Estrada writes: "The Deer God, as it currently stands in beta version 0.1, is a strangely compelling, mysterious game of survival. However, because of its secrecy (or rather, a lack of any tutorial) many players run to the Steam Community looking for answers. What are the controls for the game? What do these found objects represent? Although there’s something to be said for figuring out everything on your own it is also sensible that many players could use a tutorial as well. This guide was created to serve those players since no official tutorial currently exists. Read on if you’re looking for some basic information about how to play and survive!"
The Deer God, the breathtaking 3D pixel art adventure from Crescent Moon Games and Blowfish Studios, will find new life on store shelves this February with a physical release of the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita versions from distributor Red Art Games.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "As time went on it became clear that many of these projects were hobbyist titles and a large amount of the developers had never actually researched the practicalities of launching a game on Vita, leading to an ever-increasing number of cancellations over the years. And yet some delivered. It’s this I’m aiming to examine in this article – how many projects succeeded in reaching the Vita, how many failed, and how many are in limbo, as well as a conclusion on the overall state of Kickstarter (and other crowdfunding sources) on the handheld."
Omar from SwitchEra.net writes: "I really wanted to like The Deer God, but with its combination of death traps and ineffective mating system I just couldn’t bring myself to enjoy it. The Deer God tells the story of a hunter who gets killed by a wolf. Upon reaching the afterlife he is greeted by the Deer God and reincarnated and given the opportunity to atone for his crime of being a hunter."
