Deformers should be rolling onto PlayStation 4 in the relatively near future; it was supposed to be launching next week, but was hit with an unspecified delay not too long ago. The Order: 1886 developer Read at Dawn is behind the rather rotund title, but if you're not entirely sure what Deformers is all about, we suggest watching the video that we've embedded above.
Explaining the basics of the game, the clip's an informative watch. Essentially, the release is an arena-based brawler - only the brawling is done with weird little blob monsters. For the most part, it looks like simple, dumb fun, but we can see there being a deceptive amount of depth to explore.
What do you make of Deformers? Does it look like something you'd try? Bounce into the comments section below.

So no 1886 part 2 then....???
Just can't believe they've gone from The Order 1886 a game that was quite frankly disappointing but is so brimming full of potential to this.
That's ...Uh ...Quite a departure.
Already looks more promising than the Order ever did
Looks fun to me
@DaweezMauiWowee
Come on man, the Order may have been short, but what it had was brilliant! If it wasn't Demo sized, it had the potential to be one of the best games of 2015, the weapons were great and the concept was really great.
I preordered it mind you, I was and still am disappointed, consider it a waste of money that not even No Man's Sky managed to beat, but to say it never looked like much is just not true. I do wish they make a sequel and really show this IP for what is worth.
@xX_RiscazZ_Xx "Already looks more promising than the Order ever did" I said what I meant and I meant what I said. From the outset, The Order didnt look like a game that was worth playing. I was right. I never got excited from the trailers because the game didnt look that fun and it didn't look like anything that I couldn't get on previous gen consoles, gameplay-wise (no real innovation). So, again, "Already looks more promising than the Order ever did"
Looks like utter crap to me. Yet another moba? Ugh. It'll be dead within a year of release.
@Wonlee AFAIK they're interested (the game's story WAS made with sequels in mind), but the IP remains with Sony while the team no longer does.
Studio closed 31st March. Never mind. If the Order 1887 was turned into a proper game rather than a 6 hour arcade shooting experience then it could've done well.
@THRILLHOU If you ever played a MOBA you'd realize that this looks nothing like a MOBA
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I may be misreading your comment, but Ready At Dawn is still alive and kicking. They're making Deformers and an Oculus Rift game called Lone Echo.
To much to play, I couldn't even finish the trailer. It looks like I'll be passing this one, not sure I'd even add to my library if it was free on PS plus. I've made that mistake with clutter before and regretted having to scroll past them.
@Quintumply just being negatively flippant, I know they're not first party but Sony loves to shut down studios after a couple of near misses.
Oh. I didn't realise Sony shut this studio down. The Order was technically amazing if nothing else, I was interested in more.
This looks like some simple fun though
This looks fun and something my wife and kids and I can play together...as for everyone putting down the Order...it wasn't that bad of a game...the graphics and animations were excellent, it was...as what many stated...too short and seemed like a rush job to get it ready for launch. If they would make a sequel, it could help it, but I doubt they will, but it still looks better than some of the other games that have come out on the PS4 later on...could be worse!
I never played The Order so can't judge but this game kind of reminds me of a fun little launch game called Little Deviants for the PS Vita for some reason..
@Zanao it's multiplayer, it's online, and the game is a battle taking place in an arena. How doesn't this qualify as a MOBA?
@THRILLHOU go watch gameplay of top MOBAs like League of Legends, Smite, DOTA this game doesn't compare in the slightest to these.
@Zanao I'm not saying it does, I'm saying it's a similar conceit, and I won't be watching any footage of a genre I dislike. Obviously you're a fan. Many aren't.
Looks good to me.
@THRILLHOU you called it a MOBA. If you knew anything about MOBAs you wouldn't say it's a similar concept. I am a fan of MOBAs, but that doesn't matter, your comments are ignorant.
@Zanao no, my comments are accurate. It's an accurate way to describe the game. It's a battle taking place in an arena, online- a MOBA. Just because it's not the same as DotA or League of Legends doesn't make it any less so. If someone didn't like Let it Die I wouldn't immediately command them to view footage of Dark Souls and call them ignorant. It's a similar game that isn't very good. My opinion on MOBA games is academic, the fact remains that this looks like a bad game, and happens to be in a genre which you like, for better or worse.
I'm sure it's probably a fun game but it is a bit of a head scratcher to make such hugely different game that has seemingly nothing in common with their last one.
@THRILLHOU I could care less if it was a genre I liked or not. Comparing Let it Die, to Dark Souls or Nioh is actually accurate. These two games are not in similar genres at all. It would more so compare to Smash Bros or Gang Beasts. Again, you don't know what a MOBA is.
@Zanao I'm getting bored explaining the same thing to you now, so I'm going to leave it.
Some ideas should never be games, and some games should never be made, this falls into both categories
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Yeah thats right but games need tot make money its not a charity.
Ok let's quite arguing guys. I don't want to have to clean up the comment section again. Please keep the discussion about the topic on hand, not what game is what genre.
@Flaming_Kaiser right, you make a lot of sense dude, Sony should definitely shut all it's first party studios as soon as any games fail to make significant profits lol they must have made a ton of money on the last guardian
@THRILLHOU lol I had the same problem earlier, I feel your pain.
Having now watched the video, it actually looks like a pretty fun multiplayer title. Could definitely be a laugh with a few friends.
I'm one of the few people looking forward to this. I might buy it because i want to support the developer as i thought The Order was a much better game than people gave it credit for. Anyways, it could be worth playing for a laugh.
If there's couch multiplayer, I'm all in. Come on split screen!
