Evaluation

All Walls Must Fall launched into version 1.0 on February 23, 2018, following an Early Access period. After launch, the developer shipped one notable post-launch addition: the New Game+ mode on October 3, 2018. On July 6, 2024, the developer published a farewell-style announcement making the game free, explicitly stating "we've all moved on to other projects now" — a clear signal that active development has concluded and the team has dispersed. A compatibility fix for Windows 11 followed on May 26, 2024 (before the free announcement), and a final bug fix shipped on October 26, 2024. These later patches are maintenance updates, not new content. The game is complete, with its final content addition being the New Game+ mode in October 2018. The studio's July 2024 post is the definitive closing statement on the game's development.

About this game

Berlin, November 2089: The Cold War never ended. For 150 years both sides have used time manipulation technology to observe and counter each other’s every move. Now this fragile state of affairs is approaching a breaking point, as a rogue nuclear strike will send the world into turmoil. Both sides have scrambled to send agents back in time to find who is behind the attack and how to prevent it. If they fail, the whole world will turn to ash, forever.

All Walls Must Fall is an isometric tactics game where actions happen to the pulsing beat of the music. You control time travelling secret agents as they jump and loop through a single night in the city of Berlin. Using a pausable real-time system, carefully plan your decisions and use powerful time manipulation abilities to your advantage, as you carry out your mission in the shadows or in plain sight. Levels are procedurally recombined, giving All Walls Must Fall a highly replayable campaign structure, while still offering individually crafted components and set-pieces.

All Walls Must Fall takes inspiration from genre classics like X-Com, Syndicate and REZ, as well more recent indie games like The Banner Saga, Braid, SUPERHOT and Crypt of the Necrodancer.

  • Hybrid real-time / simultaneous turn-based tactical gameplay

  • NEW GAME+ mode that allows you to keep upgrading your gear as you increase the challenge - forever
  • A parable that reflects on free will, moral ambiguity and the meaning of freedom
  • Developed by a team of former AAA professionals using Unreal Engine 4
