Community Insight:
Whenever you get trapped in a floor lock barrier by an enemy turning off your hack, crash. IOS 18.
We love this game. But at level 47 it crashes halfway through the level when the bomb falls on the droid. Completely closes the game. Ive tried deleting and reinstalling the app with the same results. We are on an iPhone 16 pro. Bummed we cant finish the game.
We got this game years ago new. Put money into it and it was sad to see it go. Well shoot now Im downloading and playing it all over again. Amazing puzzles and challenging. Great graphics. Adam MF Jensen be praised.
Thank you for resurrecting Deus Ex GO.
For some reason we can no longer exit the campaign, Ive already beaten it and now the only buttons is too see our menu screen, the campaign, and the title screen from the beginning.
Nice game and all, but the achievements are broken. Total let down after how great Hitman Go played.
We have been playing the game for a few years. After playing the main story line, there are gazillions of user-contributed scenarios, some trivial and others deep. It is fun.
We made a wish for a game we could play for two minutes or an hour and here it is.
Its a jump above the original Hitman puzzle game with more interactive items and animations, where the Hitman puzzle was more like a table top game with game pieces this is more animated.
The puzzles are fun and challenging but not too challenging, and we like that theres also a story to accompany the game. Our only complaint would be that at level 34, the music becomes really awesome and dramatic, making you feel like youre on the verge of something big, but then that music just keeps on playing for the rest of the game and then that music just becomes boring. That is a small complaint, though.
Recently, the game keeps crashing even before we make a move. We have reset our iPhone and tried to play the game again with the same result. Our model is iPhone XS Max. Normally, its an excellent game worth five stars. Recently, though with the crashes, it is unplayable. The issue appears to be fixed. Revising rating back to five stars.
We enjoyed playing this game and got addicted . Please is theres another version or something. What made this game very enjoyable that it has no ads at all!!! You can enjoy playing the full game without any distractions. They have reached a professional level and they deserve to be the best in the area. Keep going guys. We support you to the end.
In order: Tomb Raider: Go, Most Challenging and Graphical Deus Ex: Go, Graphical, less of challenge has story Hitman:Go, Kind of dull, a bit stiff, not much story.
We honestly did not think Id like this. Im a huge fan of the core games and was worried square was trying to make a quick buck. Its a lot of fun feels simple but complex and so far feels very Deus Ex. Just to show our appreciation since we got this for free Ill go pay for hitman go.
Ive enjoyed this game for several months. We love how each level builds on the next and that there is a storyline. The best part is the communities puzzles and the ability to design your own. A great deal of fun for the money. Our only complaint is that we havent been able to load the community puzzles for the last two weeks. Not sure what happened.
Never played Deus Ex but nonetheless this was huge fun puzzling out the correct solution.
Ive bought this game in a pick with the other three Go games and Ive got to say this is probably our favorite one of the three, its a good story fun mechanics and puzzles that arent that tough and definitely worth the time.
This was a very enjoyable puzzler that was just challenging enough not to be frustrating to play through. Square provided enough hints to help us through any really challenging levels. It only received four stars because Square charges money for any additional hint units.
Excelente juego, muy entretenido, te pone a trabajar la cabeza, buenos grficos y sonido.
If you like the GO platform, you are going to love this game.
We were unwilling to buy it at first because it was five whole dollars, but we brought it anyways because Im a huge fan of the Deus Ex series. And guess what? It was definitely worth the money. The gameplay is very simple, just swipe and tap. The design is simple and minimal and probably one of our favorite aspects of the game. The puzzles are fun and get increasingly challenging. The only complaint we have is that its battery-draining. Overall Id rate a solid 9/10 :).
This is a great puzzle game. The animations are fluid and keep the game interesting. Hitman go would get boring because all the people in the game were immovable game pieces but this one makes the takedowns feel more rewarding. With that said though, what deus ex makes up for in animation it lacks in level design. Not how the grid systems are set up but more of the cosmetic things you see on the side. In comparison the levels were bigger and better completed The storyline isn't bad but doesnt feel present with just having some on screen dialogue.
Builds a story (and surprises) that keeps one immersed in the Deus Ex world. The micro animations capture Jensen's character, such as him admiring his nanoblades and tapping someone on the shoulder before striking them. Game did left the users to figure out new enemies & features for themselves. Offers no tips.
We have played the other GO games. Hitman GO being the first, and although enjoyable, the lack of animation kind of turned us off from playing it that much more. We later played Lara Croft GO, which was an excellent game that was similar but added a variety of animations that made it more modern. We were expecting more or less the same from Deus Ex GO but was surprised by how it set itself apart by adding decent story elements. The animations in this one, along with art style makes it feel right at home with the other Deus Ex games. Overall, pretty impressed.
We only knew Square Enix as Final Fantasy 7 super big fan. Now, we see they tried mobile and their step is greater than what we expected! GO GO GO! Looking forward to what they will come up with ones.
We are not a big fan of puzzle games. We've only completed maybe 2-3 before playing this and the only other Go game we have is Hitman, so we can't compare this to the Laura Croft title, but Deus Ex Go is leaps and bounds more interesting than Hitman. Also, the tap/swipe to move makes the gameplay a LOT more comfortable. We wish that SE would update Hitman with this control setup. The story is interesting enough that if you're a fan of the games, it'll keep your attention, and the hacking mechanics add quite a bit of depth to the puzzles. The achievements also add quite a bit of replay value (we really wish they'd bring back the Special Events so we could get those last 6 achievements, though). We've never been this enthusiastic about a puzzle game, but Deus Ex Go will survive in our memory for years to come. And with the added 'create' mode where you can make your own stages is… SOOOOOO SWEEEEEEEET!!! We can't recommend this one enough.
But it's still a lot of fun. Worth a buy.
Another great addition to the Go series. Great visuals and incredible sound design. Thank you for circling back to update this with iPhone X optimization…it looks fantastic.
Okay, so normally we dont really feel the urge to write reviews for apps unless theyre outstandingly good or bad. This is a exception to that sort of habit though. Ive been a pretty big Deus Ex fan for quite some time now and Ill be the first to admit we also really love puzzle games. We feel like this shouldve been our dream game, but it just feels like its missing something. It has an okay story we guess: nothing really to write home about in our eyes, especially when considering its a Deus Ex game. The graphics are nice to look at, and the in game editor is a very nice touch that adds the fourth star to our review. It just feels like the game is empty if that makes sense. Dont get us wrong, if you like puzzles or Square Enix games youre probably gonna love this app, but to us it feels incomplete and empty.
It would be nice if you could earn the steps back in time, and the tips.
This game is fun to play. The puzzles are challenging and it has a good story. We would like the option to reread the story in order to review what has happened so far.
We played Laura Croft first, it was an engaging puzzler. Challenging but solvable. We were looking forward to the other games in the family. After several chapters in Hitman we had no challenge, so we dropped it. Deus ex is acceptably puzzling, but does not match Laura Croft for complexity and challenge. If youve not yet played Laura Croft than choose it over this one, if you are looking for something to do after LC than this should do.
Very fun game very challenging. Will keep you entertained if youre bored. Cant give five stars yet because Ive only played a few levels.
We really loved this game, but now it crashes as soon as we touch the screen after opening a puzzle.
Nice puzzle. Not sure if it is worth the money.
It sure would be nice to be able to reset your progress and play through that cool storyline, again. Yet, alas, it cant be done…….yet.
So much fun & endlessly intriguing.
Im loving this so far. The puzzles arent too hard or too easy, and the interface and presentation is very console-like. It feels totally legit and like something Id play on our Vita.
If youre looking for something crazy complex, this isnt for you, but if you like trial and error puzzles, this game is a fun distraction.
Square Enix has done an incredible job capturing the feel of their triple a games in a puzzler package. We loved Lara Croft Go and played it all the way through, and after playing Human Revolution we can say that this game definitely is a solid Deus Ex game. Deus Ex Go is solid through and through. The somewhat simplistic but amazingly stylized graphics complement the challenging but doable gameplay. As far as the in-app purchase hints, we do think that was a little bit of a low blow to buyers. But you can still play the whole game without hints (if youre clever enough). And if you run out of hints, just look at a walkthrough. This isnt a big deal, and certainly doesnt warrant the loss of a star. We havent tried the level maker yet, but Im looking forward to it.
Loved the puzzles and graphicsbetter than the other Go games. Could do without the f-bombs, though, not exactly kid-friendly in that regard. Giving it 4 stars for that.
4 Stars just because they are trying to grab more money with IAP.
Fun to play but drains the battery and our phone gets super hot.
As a Deus Ex fan, we must say that this one is decent. The puzzle design is simple, but it can get tough. Even though we had lots of fun (still playing) its a bit ridiculous how there are pay to win options in the game we already paid for. Some of the puzzles are very hard, and it sometimes feels as though the game wants you to pay for a solution to a puzzle. Other than that gripe, the game is a bunch fun. It has stylish graphics, nice animations, and even a puzzle creator. Despite the microtransactions, we still recommend this to those who love puzzlers or to those who like the Deus Ex series.
This is our favorite of the Go Trilogy. It was smooth take-down animations, and an engaging storyline with challenging puzzles. Our main complaint is that after only 15-20 minutes of playing, our iPhone 7 Plus gets VERY hot, like worrying hot. So, Im forced to enjoy it in short bursts lest our phone and/or hand begin to melt.
Game is cool to play, nice graphics… But after paying $5 for it now we need to also pay for undos when we inevitably screw up?! This is something Id expect from a free to play game… This is just a money grab. Time to YouTube the solutions when we get stuck we guess.
Love an easy to use, quick turn based strategy game. Final Fantasy GO? Think about it.
Game is great and fun to play. Def worth the purchase.
Only got it for the praxis kits in MD but it's actually a great little puzzle game.
23 levels in. Thoroughly enjoying this game. There is no explanation how to play, so we had to use a walkthrough at first to get a few basics, but after that, nothing but fun. It's a puzzle game. How do you get from here to there without being killed. Recommended.
