Deus Ex: The Fall vs N.O.V.A. 3
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.
N.O.V.A. 3
N.O.V.A. 3 continues the exciting story from the previous game four months after Kal Wardin defeated the Volterites. This time around though, the President of the human coalition has been assassinated and in a rather rash decision, most of the colonies have surrendered to the Volterite Protectorate. Kal tried to keep out of the issue but he feels the need to head back into all the action to save mankind and a restored but now war-torn Earth yet again.With even more to offer, N.O.V.A. 3 is truly a step up from its predecessors. There are more weapons for you to play with, larger multiplayer battles you can dive into, and more varied multiplayer modes. There is even voice chat (for certain devices only) for players to communicate more effectively, allowing players to coordinate better on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, N.O.V.A. 3 is not available on GooglePlay despite being available on iOS and Windows phones. So, if you happen to be an Android user, you might want to check out our list of alternative games or just play N.O.V.A. Legacy.
