![]() The style of gameplay won’t suit everyone, but it’s nicely broken up by minigames and puzzles. We have too many serious games at the minute and a little injection of silliness provided by Deponia is a welcomed one. I laughed quite a lot as the game’s silly sense of humour is right up my street. The comedy dialogue and nonsensical storyline are consistently entertaining too. The artwork, characters and dialogue are excellent, and the art style is beautiful, clean and colourful. I like the time travel angle a lot and the story is very engaging throughout. I preferred the story over any of the entries I have played so far. Deponia is full of wacky characters Summaryįirstly, if you liked any of the previous Deponia games you will love this one. The music is decent too, albeit a little unremarkable, but it does a good job at keeping you grounded in the world of Deponia. Rufus especially delivers his lines with impeccable timing and delivery. Sound-wise Deponia is good too, with some excellent voice acting. It’s very tongue-in-cheek and silly and fits the style of the game very well. The artwork operates hand-in-hand with the comedic nature of the story and characters. The cutscenes adopt the same level of quality too, all well rendered and very well animated. It’s got a hand-drawn look to it and it’s very pleasing on the eye, so it’s a pleasure moving between screens to see new locales, meet new characters and take in all the well-drawn artwork. It has a very clean cartoon look to it, the animations are very well done and the scenery is beautiful. I love the art style of the Deponia titles and the newest instalment is no different. ![]() ![]() Bright and bold visuals A Sight for Sore Eyes I often chortled to myself after a dirty joke or a stupid reference and I really enjoy that the game is quite often ridiculous. Deponia Doomsday is no different, with cool easter eggs, references and rude jokes that litter the dialogue and storyline. These titles do not take themselves too seriously and they really make me laugh in places. My favourite thing about the Deponia games is the dialogue and general comedic feel to them. Unlike a lot of point-and-click games, most of the objects’ functions make sense and it’s quite natural to progress through the game. ![]() Nevertheless, you’ll still be combining items, giving items to NPCs and using items on objects to further your progression. More minigames and puzzles are present to break up the traditional point-and-click gameplay, which provides a more varied experience. One thing I did notice about this iteration was that there were QTEs to complete and there seemed to be more gameplay variation overall. You move around interconnected screens, picking up items, talking to NPCs and solving small puzzles. Gameplay-wise, Deponia Doomsday is very similar to the previous entries in the series. Time travel, always a tricky business Varied Gameplay Like other games in the series, the story of Desponia Doomsday is well written, funny and this one is full of references to other time travel stories. One thing I learned while playing through this story was you should never let an idiot travel through time. He soon upsets his girlfriend, meets a time traveller and the whole world descends into chaos from there. Rufus wakes up from a nightmare where he was old, blew up Deponia and had a moustache. Deponia Doomsday, however, does take quite a different angle storywise to the first two games. I will not spoil the main plot points from the previous games, just in case you are yet to play them, but the games mainly consist of Rufus trying to get to Elysium, failing miserably and upsetting a lot of people on the way. The lower citizens struggled and did what they could to survive. The world below fell into squalor and was used as a dumping ground by the populace above. Over many years the Elysians forgot about the world below and thought it uninhabited. You live on Deponia, a planet which was originally largely populated by humans – that was until a large amount of the population ascended to a utopia of a floating city called Elysium. ![]()
