Square Enix has brought their mobile take on the Deus Ex world, Deus Ex: The Fall, to Android devices today. Created in collaboration with the current Deus Ex team at Eidos Montreal, along with mobile studio N-Fusion, Deus Ex: The Fall brings players back into the storied sci-fi universe. More specifically, it returns to the end of Random House's novel Deus Ex: The Icarus Effect.

Players take control of former British SAS Mercenary Ben Saxon, an augmented soldier on the hunt for the truth behind a major drug conspiracy after he was betrayed by the Tyrants. Deus Ex: The Fall features the first-person action, stealth, and decision-making that the series is known for with mixed results, thanks to some iffy touch control implementation.

Deus Ex: The Fall is out now on the Google Play store for $6.99. It's also available on the iOS App Store for the same price.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
