History VideoGame / DeusExTheFall

* ArbitraryGunPower: Weapons in the game are relatively weak unless you get a headshot or upgrade them. Even then, its better to save up for the alternate weapons in the shop and upgrade those, as they can be upgraded further than the default.

* GoodBadBugs: On New Game +, your gear isn't reset after the tutorial, this means the Tutorial's laser sighted Assault Rifle and Crossbow will be added to your inventory for free if you didn't buy them on your previous run.

* IncrediblyDurableEnemies: Compared to ''Human Revolution'' (or ''Mankind Divided'', for that matter). Even the basic Mooks take several pistol shots to the torso to kill, compared to just a couple in the mainline games. This is likely a holdover from the mobile version's pay-to-win weapon upgrade system.

* NewGamePlus: After beating the game, you can replay it from the beginning, at a higher difficulty level, with all your weapons, items, and augs.

* TasteOfPower: The tutorial mission allows the player to have the stealth aug for free. Afterwards, the player has to work up to get it back again.

* ArbitraryGunPower: Weapons in the game are weak unless you get a headshot or upgrade them. Even then, its better to save up for the alternate weapons in the shop and upgrade those, as they can be upgraded further than the default.

* BoringButPractical: Keeping in with the ''Deus Ex'' tradition, the pistol. Most enemies carry one for most of the game for free ammo, and ammo is cheaper than the rifle ammo if one needs to buy it.

* DummiedOut: Texture files hinting towards a New York City level, a Lower Hengsha level, and an Australia level. Since this game has been pitched to be episodic, it is unknown at the time of writing if it is cut content, or just textures in place for future installments.

During the six months in which Adam Jensen from ''Human Revolution'' was in rehab after the attack on Sarif Industries, ''The Fall'' focuses on the main character from the ''Icarus Effect'' novel, Ben Saxon. Originally developed for mobile platforms, the game the game was re-released on PC in March 2014... [[PortingDisaster poorly]].

* CliffHanger: The game ends on one, as it was intended to be released episodically. As there has been no word from the developer in over a year regarding a part 2, and given the rather sketchy history of episodic gaming (especially for First Person Shooters), it doesn't seem like there's going to be a resolution any time soon, but with the recent reveal of the Dawn Engine that Square Enix says new ''Deus Ex'' games will run on and a press release from the developers saying that they are working on "Deus Ex Universe", which will include upcoming console games, books and comics, and mobile spin-offs, perhaps there will be news in the near future.

* BigBad: Bob Page acts as the behind-the-scenes villain of the game, just like in ''Human Revolution''. Possibly he will be revealed to be the BiggerBad in a sequel installment, but for now he appears to be the one responsible for the [[spoiler:Zaaphire Biotech]] conspiracy.

* BroadStrokes: Some liberties are taken with the game's depiction of Ben's defection from the Tyrants from ''[[Literature/DeusExIcarusEffect Icarus Effect]]''. In the game, it's implied to happen right after the Kontarsky assassination in Moscow, while in the novel it takes place much later. Also, in the novel Namir confronts Ben in the ops room and Ben has to fight past him and the rest of the Tyrants to reach the cargo hold and escape. In the game, however, Ben remains undetected and instead confronts Namir in the cargo hold before escaping immediately without a fight. These alterations were likely done to preserve story and gameplay pacing.

* EliteMooks: [[spoiler: Belltower Spec Ops troopers appear as the opposition in the final section of the game. These include Belltower's augmented EliteMooks, the Sneakers and Ogres.]]

* SequelHook: At the end of the game, [[spoiler:Ben Saxon, Alex Vega, and Anna Kelso all head off to Australia to uncover the truth about the Riezene conspiracy and Zaaphire Biotech. Meanwhile, Jaron Namir and Sam Duarte assure Bob Page that they will hunt Saxon down and kill him. The screen then flashes: [[CliffHanger TO BE CONTINUED]].]]

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:It's implied a sequel is going to be made, but Jaron Namir and Sam Duarte get off scott-free. Subverted in the case of Namir, since you can kill him in ''Human Revolution'']].

* CosmeticallyAdvancedPrequel: Compared to ''Deus Ex'', set 25 years later.

* BigBad: Jaron Namir
