{{ | '''Deus Ex''' is a cyberpunk-themed [[action]] [[role-playing game]] developed by [[Ion Storm]] and published by [[Eidos Interactive]] in the year [[2000]], which combines gameplay elements of [[first-person shooter]]s with those of role playing games. The game received almost worldwide critical and industry acclaim, including being named "Best PC Game of All Time" in a [[2007]] poll carried out by British gaming magazine PC Zone. It was a frequent candidate for and winner of "Game of the Year" awards, drawing praise for its pioneering designs in player choice and multiple narrative paths. It has sold more than 1 million copies, as of April 23, [[2009]]. | ||
The title is ancient Latin for "God from...", a clearly incomplete sentence. The Latin words are pronounced ''"DAE-ous EX"'', but the game authors and many fans generally pronounce it "DAY-uss EX". | |||
First published for personal computers running [[Windows]], Deus Ex was later ported to [[Macintosh]] systems, as well the [[PlayStation 2]] game console, the latter under the title '''Deus Ex: The Conspiracy'''. Loki Games worked on a [[Linux]] version of the game, but the company went out of business before releasing it. A sequel to Deus Ex, titled [[Deus Ex: Invisible War]], was released on December 2, [[2003]] for both [[Windows]] and the [[Xbox]] video game console. On November 26, [[2007]], it was confirmed that [[Eidos Montreal]] is developing a prequel, [[Deus Ex: Human Revolution]]. | |||
Set in a dystopian world during the 2050s, the central plot follows J. C. Denton, a rookie United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition agent, as he sets out to combat terrorist forces, which have become increasingly prevalent in a world slipping ever further into chaos. As the plot unfolds, Denton becomes entangled in a deep and ancient conspiracy, encountering fictional recreations of organizations such as Majestic 12, the Illuminati, and the Hong Kong Triads throughout his journey. | |||
