No, sorry for the mislead, this is not a historical article about a Celtic deity who can shapeshift into the form of a deer. This is actually a preview of the upcoming Wii U eShop title forebodingly named The Deer God. The Deer God is currently being co-developed by Mobot Studios and Crescent Moon Games.
These developers are also responsible for past hit games such as Blocky Bot (Wii U) and Paper Monsters Recut(Wii U/PC/iOS). The game, which is currently on Xbox One and Steam, is still being Kickstarted and is expected on Wii U eShop in the coming months.
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."
If you're in the market for a good platformer, this is NOT it. Was free with games with gold a while back and is easily the worst free game on either PS+ or GWG so far, imho.
