Assassin’s Creed Rebellion vs Deus Ex: The Fall
Assassin’s Creed Rebellion
Assassin’s Creed Rebellion is another mobile game spin-off of the popular game franchise, Assassin's Creed. Unlike AC: Identity which resembles the actual game, this game seems to offer an entirely unique gameplay where players control a team of heroes (assassins, enforcers and the like) and help them get through a series of missions by assembling your team with the necessary type of heroes, strategically choosing your path through the map to the end objective, and using their respective skills correctly.Different heroes will be suitable for different situations and since you have access to a limited number of special actions, such as stealth assassination and disarming traps, you'll be forced to decide which one of the three heroes you can bring that you'd want to use. However, it all boils down to chance since the special actions have a percentage of failure.
That being said, you'll also get a headquarters where you can build rooms and upgrade them, much like what you'd do in Fallout Shelter. The rooms work in a somewhat similar manner as well, allowing you to train your heroes, craft weapons and armor, and so on.
Featuring some of the most appealing graphics (the chibi characters are just so adorable!), Assassin’s Creed Rebellion is one mobile game where fans of Assassin's Creed can get their fix from. After all, it has a brand new storyline for players to experience, a different sort of gameplay, and lots of adorable heroes to collect.
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.
