Although “Deus Ex” is best known for its genre-defining RPG on PC that kicked off the series in 2000, the world of “Deus Ex” has also leapt off computer screens onto mobile on multiple occasions via spin-off titles. For example, in 2016, the same year “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided” debuted, Square Enix Montreal released “Deus Ex Go” for mobile and PC. “Deus Ex Go” broke from the standard “Deus Ex” gameplay, instead focusing on turn-based puzzle solving, where players control Adam Jensen as they overcome obstacles and dispatch foes.
“Deus Ex Go” is the most recent addition to the now discontinued “Go” series, following up 2014’s “Hitman Go” and 2015’s “Laura Croft Go.” Although it followed a similar formula to the first two games, “Deus Ex Go” brought some exciting features, including a puzzle creation mode that let players build their own maps.
Although “Deus Ex Go” didn’t reach the same level of acclaim as previous “Go” titles from critics (per IGN), one look at the game’s App Store rating of 4.7/5 shows that gamers still enjoyed this addicting puzzle game. However, a few years after its release, “Deus EX Go” was removed from the Microsoft Store, making the game mobile-only.
The game will soon be unavailable for purchase
Studio Onoma is among a list of four titles to be released on the 4th includes “Deus Ex Go” on Twitter. Deus Ex Go includes “Hitman Sniper:
The Shadows, Arena” Battle Champions and Space Invaders:
Hidden hero. After the announcement, in-game purchases were disabled for all four of his games. And he said on December 1st, the game will be removed from the mobile store. However, this doesn’t appear to be a ‘Flappy Bird’ scenario where players will still be able to play the game after it’s been removed from the store if they’ve already downloaded it. The game will be inaccessible for days.
This comes just a month after Go series developer Square Enix Montreal changed its name to Onoma after being acquired by Swedish video game company Embrace. And just weeks after rebranding, the company announced it was closing stores, affecting about 200 employees (according to gameindustry.biz). Still, this is definitely a disappointment for the gamer who paid him $5 for the game.
