Deliver Us the Moon vs Deus Ex: The Fall
Deliver Us the Moon
Deliver Us the Moon is a narrative-driven adventure game that’s set in the distant future where humanity relied heavily on energy generated by Helium 3 from its lunar colonies and then transmitted to Earth to power the world and to help combat the death throes of a resource-depleted planet. However, in 2054, everything went dark and any burning hope humanity might have had for its future was rapidly extinguished.Five years have gone by since that fateful day, and after long last, you are now mankind’s one last chance to not only find out what happened to the colonists, many of whom have family members back on Earth, and to also save the entire human race from its death spiral. Will you make it?
Deus Ex: The Fall
Deus Ex: The Fall is a mobile spin-off (but now it's available on PC, Steam specifically) of the brilliant Deus Ex franchise. However, as you might have expect from a mobile game/port, Deus Ex: The Fall is incredibly basic with very limited controls. You'll still get to play the way you like whether to go into combat head-on or stealthily, but it's just not as exciting or impactful (as claimed).The background for the story in this game is somewhat all right I suppose. The game casts you into the role of Ben Saxon, a former British SAS-turned-mercenary with military-grade augments who is desperate to find out the truth behind the drug conspiracy involving the very drug that all augmented humans need to survive. However, many of the events that are supposed to push the story forward seems to fall short of doing exactly that, making these events rather meaningless. Unlike the non-spin-off games, the decisions you make in the game, however few they may be, doesn't feel important enough either. The game ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger, hinting at a sequel that will probably never come.
Deus Ex: The Fall may be a rather decent for a relatively unknown mobile game, but for a franchise as huge as Deus Ex, this game just seems to disappoint everyone. It's not a free-to-play either so if you saved up to buy this game, you might want to continue to save a bit more to get the other Deus Ex games (not the second game though) instead.
