Evaluation

Deadfall Adventures launched on November 15, 2013 as a complete, standalone action-adventure shooter. The developer issued a bug-fix patch in December 2013 and a second update on February 28, 2014 that added quality-of-life improvements (a new notepad system, revamped weapons, graphical tweaks) and a Linux beta. That February 2014 post noted the team was "preparing bigger updates for the next weeks/months," but no such updates were ever publicly announced or released — and there has been no developer communication of any kind since February 28, 2014. That passing mention of future updates was never followed up on, and more than 12 years have elapsed since the last post. The game has no DLC listed, no season pass, and no roadmap. The store description presents it as a self-contained story with a defined beginning, middle, and end. All available evidence points to development having concluded shortly after launch, with the February 2014 patch being the final meaningful update.

About this game

Deadfall Adventures is an action-driven first-person shooter, spiced up with elements from action-adventure games. Become an adventurer, hunt for treasures, explore unknown regions of the world and rescue the damsel in distress from the clutches of enemies, both earthly and not-so-earthly. Join James Lee Quatermain on his journey across the globe!

The Story

The year is 1938. James Lee Quatermain is a man of many talents, yet holding on to money isn't one of them. James is an adventurer by trade, just like his legendary great-grandfather Allan Quatermain. And he knows how to squeeze money out of this famous name of his, while at the same time despising it. Despising those who believe his great-grandfather's tales of the supernatural and those who make fun of them alike.


Accordingly, Quatermain isn't all too keen on escorting Jennifer Goodwin, an US agent and former colleague of his, to an Egyptian temple structure in order to retrieve an ancient artifact - The Heart of Atlantis. Neither does he believe in the reputed invigorating qualities of this artifact, nor does he care the least that a division of the Ahnenerbe, the Nazi department specialized in the occult, is after The Heart as well.

But life has its ways of changing one's perspective. Quatermain soon finds himself part of a hunt across the globe - from the stormy deserts of Egypt to the icy depths of the Arctic, and all the way to the steaming jungles of Guatemala. In long forgotten temple structures the thrill of the chase awakens the true adventurer in Quatermain, as he and agent Goodwin strive to be one step ahead of the Nazis and the Russians, one step closer to obtaining the Heart of Atlantis. And deep in these temples, where age-old guardians awake from their eternal slumber, James soon learns that his great-grandfather's stories are not as crazy as he had always believed. For all things live forever, though at times they sleep and are forgotten...
