Square Enix's puzzle game, Deus Ex Go, was rolled out on Thursday on mobile platforms iOS and Android. The turn-based game follows in the footsteps of Lara Croft Go and Hitman Go, in which the developers use major designs from the game's own series to shape the base, including puzzle gameplay and touch-screen controls. The game is available at the price of $4.99.
The newly rolled out Deus Ex Go is quite different from its predecessors as it has been incorporated with stealth and role-playing elements along with First Person Shooting (FPS) action and offers hacking, many cyberpunk themes, and many other features. The game was introduced at the E3 event in June this year.
In terms of visuals, Deus Ex Go is stunning, as it has base graphics of the Deus Ex series. Like the earlier two 'Go' games, it offers 3-D graphics with a top-down perspective, including a futuristic look, dystopian surroundings with very fine detailing and texture quality, as well as the vivid colors with a slight vignette effect.
The game's lead character, Adam Jensen, faces opponents including turrets, guards, and others.
Like the other GO games, Deus Ex is level-based, and gamers need to go through stage-by-stage to advance through the story that also involves conspiracies behind a terrorist plan. The main objective of each puzzle is to help the lead hero get from the starting point to the portal at the end and stay hidden from the enemies.
As the whole sequence is puzzle-based, things happen turn-by-turn and it is essential to make note of where enemies are going and time your actions accordingly. For ideal chances, gamers can opt for augmentations and hacks.
Deus Ex Go's controls are easy. To move Jensen, players just need to tap on the point, where the player wants him to go. Another tip is to trick the enemies and utilize elements including invisibility, to pass difficult spots.
Also, the game developers have offered a "Live Content" segment that has new puzzle events on all weekdays, and players can also enjoy puzzles from previous days too.
