    This is just the start of your adventure, and to be honest, it’s actually really fun, though not too awe inspiring. Deadfall Adventures plays like a First Person Shooter cross between Red Dead Redemption and Uncharted, but with Nazis and mummies, and probably much more as the story plays out.

I was expecting a decent game because of the "good" user ratings (I don't really give much weight to critics' reviews), but all I got a was a disappointing experience.    … Expand

    It's fun to fun with this game, but a bit linear is the game. Unreal motor 3 also is not the first freshness. The high price but after beating the game I did not regret issued money.

    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.

    Very good gameplay and amazing music. As for me, back to the days of the Nazis is hit the jackpot. The final time of FPS I had to choose: war, space, horror. Indiana Jones again ruled

    Deadfall Adventures is the perfect adventure!. If you’re a fan of games like Tomb Raider or Uncharted..get playing! The adventure is waiting Combat is fun, especially when traps are involved, Solving puzzles and finding treasures is continuously fun, Almost everything about this game is fun.

    So, you're this guy, and you're with this gorgeous redheaded girl. You're kind of an Indiana Jones type character, who's looking for treasure, and so you have to explore ancient ruins -- but they're filled with Nazis, and killer mummies that you have to fight off with your gun, and machete.

    Sounds cool, right?

    Well, there are some problems with the game. The voice acting is pretty stiff. There isn't much to the story. The level designs can often feel narrow, uninspired, and they leave you feeling trapped. The baddies just swarm you, and your sidekick is no help whatsoever.

    But there are some bright spots to the game. They have a strong puzzle element going on, and there are some interesting concepts for the character, like making use of a compass, a notepad to give you clues, and a flashlight.

    Other than that however there is nothing that really makes this game stand out. I think it's worth a try though.    … Expand

    This is simply Indiana Jones, and for years I was wondering why no one has released this person in a game. If producer had more money, the game would be much better.

    Indiana really returned. It is a pity that this game is not open world. They should think about this in the DA Playability very good. The puzzles sometimes trivial, but you can adjust their level of difficulty. I would recommend. Nice to spend a few hours

    Amazing atmosphere. The friendly, atmosphere great adventure film. Likeable hero. Quite a varied campaign. Beautiful locations. As for me, the best game of the adventures of Indiana Jones. The Adventures Deadfall I played very nicely. I wanted to visit more sites, I wanted to develop the storyline.

Strong shooting mechanics, some clever puzzles and some awesome environment designs lead to a fun 'Indiana Jones-esque' adventure that has me hooked! At the very least, this is a good rental title!

    This game has a chance to be a HIT but I think in the second part (DA2) I miss just more freedom. The game is just too linear, however, has a unique atmosphere. Who played in Uncharted, Tomb Raider will also find something interesting.

    The real adventure is poured buckets of the game. Fun is great but feel here that this is a game that does not have a huge budget. Cutscenes are a little stiff. Deadfall Adventures features some impressive-looking locations.

    Deadfall looks and plays great on Unreal Engine 3. Each location is incredibly detailed with foliage, running water, and stunning sunlight.

    Great game! You can choose different types of weapons that's cool, but fortunately this is not a typical shooter.
    In addition to shooting are various puzzles, treasures, secrets. I felt like I was involved in the action adventure and it is fantastic. The same time by means cool theme with Egypt. I was not disappointed. recommend

    Interesting puzzles, cool weapons. Amazing views. This game has something that pulls farther and farther away. I do not know what it is because you go shooting, you solve puzzles, etc. This game has its own climate, I remembered the good old years when I was a kid watching the adventures of Indiana Jones Cool games

    If you enjoy shooting at waves of enemies, this is a fair shooter with some brains in it. Or, perhaps, you’re a diehard Mummy fan, in which case, you should feel at least some sense of adventure when you figure out some of the cooler puzzles. Pretty Environments

    Deadfall Adventures moves the adventure along at a good pace with some predictable plot twists along the way.

It is not a bad game, nor is it a game you will play through twice unless you really want to find that treasure you missed. Deadfall isn’t Call of Duty with puzzles, but it never tries to be. It tries to be an exciting game about exploring ancient ruins while shooting stuff and solving puzzles. While neither of these things are done exceptionally well, they’re certainly not badly done either.… Expand

The storyline never feels as well developed as the game’s setting, and some of the puzzles are much less refined than others. But for all its faults, Deadfall Adventures does manage to entertain. It profits a lot from being the first in its genre, mixing first person shooters with puzzles and adventuring. It’s nowhere near perfect, but the equivalent of a fun popcorn movie. As such, it’s closer to The Mummy than it is to Indiana Jones fun, but never more than that.… Expand

    Darkfall Adventures is a middle-of-the-road Lost World adventure, where our wisecracking Indiana Jones-like hero spends more time saving and re-saving the girl than recovering a purportedly priceless and powerful treasure that ultimately doesn’t come off as all that pricey or powerful in the end.

    I certainly appreciate what Deadfall Adventures was going for and I'm always open to adventuring on a less-than-AAA scale, but the over-reliance on shooting and the abysmal voice acting knock this afternoon-matinee romp down a few pegs.
