Alongside your main mission - marked helpfully in gold - you can choose to complete side missions and explore off the beaten path. You control Ben via a virtual trackpad (the tap to move controls aren't worth bothering with), and explore environments filled with people to get intel and mission objectives from, computers to hack, secret passageways to explore and guards to subdue. Gameplay is similarly well crafted (and occasionally clumsy). While the writing itself is often heavy-handed, and some characters are stock stereotypes, the story is an engrossing yarn and it moves quickly. The plot is tight - and, appropriately for Deus Ex - laced with conspiracy theories and transhuman commentary.
You play as Ben, who quickly gets caught up in a minor drug war. The Fall begins with an introduction to ex-spec-ops mercenary Ben Saxon and Anna Kelso, both fugitives of a private military contractor, hiding from their murderous ex-employer and jonsing for their necessary doses of neuropozyne. Multinational corporations and private military contractors essentially run the world, and human drama abounds amid the chaos. The year is 2027, and the world is divided into augmented humans and everyone else, with "Augs" requiring special drugs (neuropozyne) to stay alive. While The Fall struggles with a frustrating final hour and occasional clumsy writing, it succeeded by pulling me right back into its evocative, proto-cyberpunk world.ĭeus Ex: The Fall is essentially a side story to 2011's Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
The Fall borrows the flavor of the futuristic Deus Ex universe along with the series' best gameplay features - stealth action and systems that support player choice - and packs them into a mobile-friendly 5-7 hours.
