Dues Ex: The Fall is a story driven action-RPG, has been announced for mobile and tablet devices. The game is a continuation of the novel Deus Ex: The Icarus Effect. The game is priced at $6.99/£4.99/5.99€, with the first installment planned this summer.
“Players can expect exploration, action, hacking, stealth, social enhancers, player choice and consequence – the full Deus Ex experience,” said Jean-François Dugas, executive game director at Eidos-Montreal. Eidos-Montreal didn’t actually develop the game, but it did provide input to developers at the Square Enix Mobile division in Europe.
General Manager of Square Enix Mobile Antony Douglas added,“Smart devices are central to Square Enix’s platform strategy and we approach it with the same attention as our boxed and digital releases. Deus Ex: The Fall is going to be testament to our commitment in delivering high quality entertainment on mobile and tablet devices.”
It plays similarly to Deus Ex: Human Revolution, except with touch controls and a new character: the augmented former British SAS mercenary Ben Saxon.
Like Human Revolution, The Fall is set in 2027. Saxon was betrayed by his former employer The Tyrants and is out to discover what happened to him. It’s a story that follows on directly from Icarus Effect, the Deus Ex novel by James Swallow.
Expect a mix of old and new augmentations. Smart Vision, which lets you see through walls, returns, as does the punch through a wall move.
