Deflector review (early access): a chaotic roguelike with boomerangs and bugs
Boomerangs are cool as hell. The sleek wooden objects careen through the air in a perfect circle – in theory, at least – before returning right back to where they began in the palm of your hand. They’re something that fascinated me as a child, and 20-something years later I still don’t really know how or why they work.
Deflector is like someone taped two swords to a boomerang, Mad Max-style. How does the boomerang still operate with twin blades slashing back and forth on either end? Don’t know. How does it always circle its way back to where you’re standing after dashing around an arena filled with enemies? Not a clue.
