Deux Ex: The Fall heads to PC

One of my favourite games of the last couple of years, has been Deus Ex: Human Revolution. A flawed masterpiece, but a gorgeous one at that, it was exactly the kind of game that got me and gave me a great experience. Since then, work on Deus Ex has been quiet. There’s scant details on Deux Ex: Universe, but there is Deus Ex: The Fall. Which is now headed to PC.

Deus Ex: The Fall was pretty much a fantastic adaptation of the gameplay created in Human Revolution, except that it was saddled with controls that could only be described with the kind of ranting reserved for people who gazed on dread lord Cthulu.

Still, the game was just begging for a PC port, and that’s just what Square Enix has done. Here’s a list from their site on how they’ve augmented the game for the master platform:

  • No in-game purchase options
  • 28 Steam achievements
  • Adjusted AI
  • Steam Trading Cards and Badges
  • Revised tutorial
  • Full keyboard and Mouse control optimisation
  • Rebalanced game economy taking into account no IAP
  • Microsoft Controller support
  • Removal of auto target options
  • Reduction in aiming recital size
  • Choice in cover style as DXHR (HOLD or Toggle)
  • Resolution options
  • Anti Aliasing option
  • Vsync
  • Control maps for keyboard and gamepad

Full keyboard and mouse controls with the game being rebalanced for that platform? I can swing that. Deus Ex: The Fall arrives March 25, and will cost you £7.99/€9.99/$9.99. If you’re eager and want to pre-order it, Square-Enix will sweeten the deal by giving you a copy of the first Deus Ex game as well.

  1. Just out of interest – I never finished HR because I got bored. Would this then have the same effect for me, or others like me who didn’t quite enjoy HR the way you did, for instance?

      I played abit at friends house I got bored there so didn’t even bother to buy it, plus I found it rather funny how just a few months later the game was going for dirt cheap and other titles considerably older (eg skyrim) were still only slightly cheaper.

        That’s usually a good indication of how well received a game is. If a game is going for dirt cheap, I always check user reviews and such just to be sure.

      I think I loved Nr3 much more because of how brilliant Nr1 was and how crap Nr2 was (EFFING STUPID PORT)

        Number 2 was so terrible, I wish I could forget it. My thing with HR is that it didn’t feel NEARLY as open or dark as the first game, which was a large part of the first game’s appeal.

        I want a greater challenge. Deux Ex would add a feel of Mankind accomplishing .. something .. before everything was given to them. Uniqueness matters. As for Skyrim, imagine every ME map being this huge. So much to do. No romance scenes either.

    I’d buy this simply to get the original game for free. Because I’d feel too guilty for buying it alone, since I still have my original in the box and want it on Steam.

    Yeah I’m a sucker for Eidos’s Deus Ex, will be getting this one day. It’s cool that it picks up where the book Icarus Effect left off, which was surprisingly good. I’d recommend it to fans of the game.
