Frustrating combat aside, it’s almost astounding how successful The Fall is at distilling the core Deus Ex experience onto a mobile device. The mysterious and well-told story, steady stream of powerful new augments, and impressive game world all combined to create a mobile experience I didn’t want to put down after I started.

Deus Ex: The Fall works far better with touch controls than one would think, and it offers up a lighter, if a little bare-bones Human Revolution experience. In many ways though this experiment feels like a waste, as it would really be stronger as either a PlayStation Vita game or even a downloadable console title. Until a potential port rolls along, I’d only really recommend The Fall for mobile veterans who are already acquainted with first-person games on the go.

Sometimes a game just makes you wonder 'why'. Why replicate a console shooter on a tablet? Why is it a sequel to a tie-in novel? Why port it to PC? Why spend money on this?

Once you get through a lot of the shock that comes with The Fall being a tablet conversion and all the little problems it has, fortunately you’ll find that it’s still a fun new slice of Human Revolution. Get used to the slightly odd un-redefinable controls, the cramped level design, and the silly shop-inventory (where you can only buy, not sell) and you’ll find the special Deus Ex gameplay itself is intact. Through skill and careful Augmentation use you can make your way through the gam...
