Inspired by classics like Risk and DiceWars, it features quick turn-based matches, an extensive campaign, a built-in editor, and local multiplayer for up to 8 players. By replacing the classic isometric view with an optimized 2D Grid View, the game offers seamless Touch, Mouse, Keyboard, and Gamepad support for a lightning-fast experience.
Key Features:
Grid Control
Forget isometric maps and slow animations. Diception uses a clean 2D matrix with 4-way connections. This enables lightning-fast WASD and D-Pad controls, allowing for rapid-fire gameplay without sacrificing strategic depth.
Local Multiplayer
Battle up to 8 players in local multiplayer (Gamepads supported).
Speed
Choose from 3 different speed modes. Whether you want to analyze every move or "blitz" through territories in milliseconds, the choice is yours.
Mods
Why settle for six sides? Or try parallel turns for maximum chaos. Adjust win conditions, start settings and supply rules to create your own unique way to play.
Handcrafted levels with various settings are waiting for you.
Open Source & Community
Diception is a passion project built on transparency. We believe that game logic should be open for everyone to study. That’s why the core engine of Diception is Open Source. You can check out the code, see how the probability engine works, or even contribute.
Lite Version vs. Full
The free lite version offers a balanced 1vs2 bot setup on a medium-sized map. This specific configuration is one of the most fun ways to play and will remain free forever!
By purchasing the full version (or watching video ad to get free access for 1 hour), you unlock:
- The complete campaign.
- Bigger Maps and Bots with higher difficulty.
- Local Multiplayer for up to 8 players (supports Gamepads and Mobile Phones as input).
- Mods: Parallel turns, special attack/win rules, custom dice sides, and turn limits.
Diception is a fast, minimalistic conquest game.
