Play Deception III: Dark Delusion Online

Summary

Deception III: Dark Delusion lets you become a mastermind of misery, wielding more than 2,000 trap variations to turn the Alendar Kingdom into a deadly playground. The revamped trap element system gives you freedom to mix Base Circles, Orbs, Emblems and Rings, letting a simple pendulum become a lightning‑charged, rapid‑fire nightmare at the cost of extra Dreak.

The game’s four modes cover every taste: Scenario Mode delivers the story, Trap License teaches the nuances, Free Training offers an immortal test dummy for endless experimentation, and Expert Mode throws timed missions like "crush the invader with a 4‑hit combo" or "land the killing hit on a Pendulum trap." Each mode rewards you with new emblems and rings, and the four possible endings unlock the most secret enhancements.

Visually, the title pushes the PlayStation’s 3D polygon engine with a solid third‑person view, while the dark, strategic premise earned it above‑average scores, a 31/40 from Famitsu, and praise from NextGen and GamePro. It even snagged a nomination for Best Strategy Game in the US PlayStation Magazine’s 2000 awards.

Storyline

Deception III: Dark Delusion puts players in the shoes of Reina, a young girl who, together with her adoptive family, has been seized and taken to the bleak land of Burgenhagen. There, they are slated for sale into slavery. Armed with the trapping powers she has learned, Reina fights back against her captors.
She also seeks to uncover the secret behind the mysterious pendant she wears, a relic that many covet for reasons that remain unknown. The game’s story follows her struggle to free herself and unravel the pendant’s hidden purpose.
