![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
