    Just to warn you people, I have realized that there are groups of people who are in "teams" to bash a certain group, or these who made troll bots to make any games look bad.

    Very good game and really exciting. One of the best adventure game of 2013.

    Massively underrated. The levels are gorgeously designed, almost to the point you get desensitized to it. The environments are varied, for people who want that indiana jones experience, it has it in spades. Only draw backs are the character animations in the cutscenes and some glitches which I'll forgive as this is a first foray into a new type of first person adventure gaming.

    Already a long time since I played this cool FPS as Deadfall Adventures. However, the game needs to be developed. As for me, not enough interaction with the environment. The game is linear. Music in the game is amazing. Issue a strong seven and I look forward to the second part with more difficult puzzles.

    It can be good fun if you love climates with Indiana Jones. It's not Uncharted or Tomb Raider, but the smell of adventure floats through the whole game. I've seen the PC version and there this game looks better than on Xbox.

    Deadfall Adventures tried really hard to combine its FPS mechanism with a larger scope of puzzles, mysteries and other interesting ideas in presentable manner. But an average story with not-so-good presentation ruins the mix. It's not a bad game by any means, but had so much potential to be a great one.

    I am enjoying the game. Sort of like indiana jones with traditional FPS shooter dynamics and puzzles. The environments, if you stop and look, are a shining feature of the game.

Deadfall seems to attempt to stand out a bit by putting some simple puzzles in your path of carnage. But make no mistake, the brunt of the action is still shooting up nazis, mummies and arabs in true Indiana Jones fashion. It can occasionally be entertaining, and there are at least plenty of weapons to find (which vary in look and sound, if not much in function: every handgun felt the same to me, except for the full-auto Mauser) through the levels. But it feels very low-budget and janky throughout, and runs out of tricks by the end of level 2 or 3. One boss, a nazi henchman on a ledge, seemed utterly impervious to direct headshots from a sniper rifle, and could somehow hit me with full auto fire even when I was 100% hidden behind stacks of enormous stone blocks, as if my hitboxes extended far into the surrounding area. You eventually notice it's a puzzle boss and make your way through, but the lingering impression of cut corners and the notion you're playing borderline shovelware stays with you to the end. It's not even that unpolished. It's just unnecessary, uninspired.… Expand

    Deadfall Adventures is cheesy and clichéd. That's what I like about it. It's got some really fun moments as well as awesome pacing and everything feels natural. Yes, the writing is and sometimes there are a few bugs, but honestly, that's the most fun I've had with an AA+ title in a long time.

    Ha! Finnaly Indiana Jones in first person! Everything what you like in Indiana is here, don't look on small issues which may be problematic, and enjoy nice adventure time. Good balance between fight and finding treasures and traps.

    Great FPS. Already I've had enough of games the second world war, space stations, horror etc.. It`s time 4 Indiana Jones. If you watched any of the Indy Quadrilogy U will not be disappointed.

    Good Fun. The majority of the game is made up with grand shooting segments. Deadfall pits you in large rooms full of cover to hide behind and weapons to swap between. This basic approach actually does Deadfall justice. Far removed from the rollercoaster feel of other recent shooters, there’s room to manoeuvre, plan an attack, and execute.

    The music is fine - but when people play games I don't suppose music rates in their "to like about this" list - I could be wrong.
    The gameplay is fairly straight-forward, it's a first person nod to the indiana jones in most adventurous types (you can tell when one of the characters - the main one surprisingly- says something "belongs in a museum" - if that's not a nod to Indy Jones then I don't know what is).
    The plot is reasonable enough, it's not a bad attempt - I am confused by the lack of swastikas though, which would have added to the general appearance of the game, although I am aware that there are countries with certain laws prohibiting the use of swastikas the way that the Third Reich used them (which coincidentally, was the wrong way round) - so never mind on that one.
    The one thing that did strike me a bit of an oddity more than a complaint really - as I know what it's like to have your name mispronounced...a lot - and that is during the first few cutscenes there are at least three different ways of saying Quatermain. kwatamain, kwartermain, etc. Listen for the differences, it's kind of a side note more than a main issue but it kinda adds to the quirky side of the game instead of ruining it outright.
    This has had a surprising number of positive reviews, but only 6.9 on the user score which is kinda disappointing, it's a good game despite it's not too shabby but not great graphics, and it's fairly simple approach to being a shooter game. The puzzles aren't too complex, but not too simple either. Even the first one kept my thirty-something old brain busy trying to figure out how to shine a light somewhere out of a series of mirrors.
    I loved this concept, despite not being the best looking game on the market, it's still worth every penny to get it - there simply aren't enough Indiana Jones spin-offs on the games market as there bloody well should be.

    Good game. I hope to see more, with graphical improvements of course.    … Expand

He llegado a leer que este juego es pura basura. Sin duda, se trata de una opinión que no se ajusta, en modo alguno, a la realidad.

    Deadfall Adventures nos cuenta la aventura de James Quatermain, nieto del famoso explorador y aventurero Allan Quatermain, al aceptar, un poco a regañadientes y por que sus circunstancias le obligan, la oferta del gobierno de los EE.UU, para ayudar a una arqueóloga a encontrar el poderoso objeto llamado el corazón de Atlantis. El problema, ya no es únicamente donde está, sino que hay más gente interesada en encontrarlo, por ejemplo los nazis y tambien el ejército rojo, por lo que el asunto va a ser de todo menos fácil.

    En cuanto a mecánicas nos encontramos ante un FPS puro, resolución de puzzles más o menos fáciles (los hay que se las traen) y exploración. Este último rasgo muy importante, puesto que el desarrollo de nuestras habilidades depende de los tesoros que encontremos, Tenemos una cantidad de armas de la época en la que está ambientado el juego, interesante. Herramientas como la linerna, importante tanto en la exploración como en el combate y la brújula que nos ayudará a encontrar los tesoros.

    El juego tiene fallos, no es perfecto, eso es indiscutible, tiene poca variedad de enemigos, algunos glitches gráficos sin importancia pero que afean el resultado final y a veces puede sentirse un poco impreciso, pero nada de esto es tan grave como otros tantos errores que traen de serie algunos triple A y no se les castiga de forma tan severa por ello.

Szkoda jednak, że nie dopracowano bardziej fabuły, zagadek oraz ogólnego zarysu postaci (w tym dialogów) - taki tytuł aż się prosi o dobre wykonanie takich elementów.

Nie jest to może kandydat do gry roku, definitywnie jest jednak wart spędzonego z nim czasu…
