    Deus Ex: The Fall is a must play for any iOS gamer.

    Deus Ex: The Fall is a great example of how today, with a few euros, you can have a "console" title even on a smartphone and a tablet. There are some flaws (touch controls are not perfect, gunplay is inaccurate, enemy AI is very weak), but there are many values too as great graphics, exploration, plot and deep stealth sections.

    Deus Ex: The Fall may not have been the game we were asking for, but it’s definitely a worthy addition to the franchise. Its less-than-stellar controls and a handful of bugs keep The Fall from being truly great, but if you’re looking to hop back into the yellow-tinted world of human augmentation, seven dollars isn’t a bad price to pay for sneaking around and reading everyone’s emails.

    Deus Ex: The Fall isn’t bad, it’s just not great with the main takeaway being disappointment based on the promise the game showed.

    The best looking game on mobiles? It's up there. But dodgy shooting controls let it down. [Oct 2013, p.78]

    This is a good looking but foul compromise. It replicates the atmosphere of Human Revolution but in terms of gameplay this is just second class.

    The poor A.I. and hit point balancing make Deus Ex: The Fall a poor shooter in my mind.

Sure,I held off on this game for years due to poor user reviews, but was pleasantly surprised at the level of quality found in this game. Sure, it's a mobile port brought to PC, but the story is solid and the gameplay nearly as good as DX:Human Revolution. I highly recommend this for any fan of the new Deus Ex reboots.… Expand

    I came here expecting to see a bad user review and it's exactly what I saw. To people wondering whether to buy this game: Most of the negativeI came here expecting to see a bad user review and it's exactly what I saw. To people wondering whether to buy this game: Most of the negative reviews here are from people who are butthurt about the fact this game's on iOS, and are so pathetic that they take it out on the developers by giving it bad reviews under the pretence of having played the game. This is NOT a bad game. It is not a hashed out release. The combat is kinda buggy, but apart from that, it has amazing graphics, an awesome story and really good, rewarding exploration. Definitely a worthy sequel to HR. Sure, I wish it had come out on consoles. But, to all you whiny annoying people out there who judge a game solely on its platform and not on its gameplay, just because it's a iOS title, complain about it all you want on youtube videos etc., but these score sites are for people who want to know the quality of a game. Posting bad reviews because you don't like mobile gaming is just petty and gives a false impression of quality. Put it this way.

    Metacritic user score, where anybody can review it: 4.4

    App Store user score, where only people who have bought the game can review it: 4.5/5

Regardless, while the plot and characters aren't anything to write home about and the touch controls can be awkward (probably because of it's touch nature though), it still managed to distill the much of the core Deus Ex experience into one that fits onto a mobile device. And they even threw in the gold-heavy color scheme. It's an enjoyable Deus Ex experience on-the-go and ends far too soon.… Expand
