![]() ![]() At times, the player encounters people in the game who can be talked with for clues and trivia. Objects in the game can be manipulated, or picked up to be used to overcome obstacles or combined with other inventory items to make a new item to use. Like most forms of graphic adventure games, players take on the role of a character who must solve a variety of puzzles. However, he soon becomes embroiled with the task of helping an Elysian return to their home and uncovers a plot that threatens his home planet. The game's story sees players taking on the role of Rufus, an inhabitant of the junk planet Deponia, as he attempts to seek a new life on the floating city known as Elysium. I know this is possible as I did a second playthrough to pick up some trophies I missed and I was able to complete the three arcs in a totally different order without any issues.Graphic adventure, Point-and-click Adventureĭeponia is a graphic adventure video game developed and published by Daedalic Entertainment. Once the game opens up (when you are able to swap between the three personalities) you are allowed to free roam and complete each of these arcs in whichever order you choose. ![]() The game took me about 12-13 hours to complete on my first playthrough (with no guide) which is a decent length for this style of game. This is followed by two smaller chapters that don’t beat around the bush and push you along nicely. You have a very long first/main chapter which is based in a single location but with a lot of side areas to visit and puzzles to solve. ![]() If you have played the original game then this one will feel very similar in terms of its structure. A bigger adventure also requires a bigger selection of characters and situations and boy does Chaos on Deponia have that covered! Along the way, you will meet your estranged father, join a group of freedom fighters (who operate in the leader’s mums basement) and even breed some angry platypuses! The game was planned as a trilogy from the beginning so there are a few events and conversations in this story which will probably be setting up events in the third game (which we will hopefully get on the PS4). To cut a long story short, Rufus and Goal come crashing back to Deponia, Goals brain implant becomes damaged and Cleatus is once again obsessed with finding both of them.Įvery single screen has tonnes of personality and things to seeĬhaos on Deponia is on a much bigger scale than the first game – within that one, your goal was to try and leave Deponia whereas in this game you are tasked with saving the planet from being destroyed. Rufus, being Rufus, devises an ingenious plan to get back to her and ‘save’ her from Cleatus – A plan that was doomed to fail from the start. ![]() The game picks up almost immediately after the first game ended with Rufus landing back at his ‘home’ whilst Goal (the girl of his dreams) and Cletus (her fiancé) are heading back towards the floating utopia, known as Elysium. The intro does a great job of letting you see what Rufus’ personality is really like – as I said, he is kinda fueled by his ego and a bit of a loudmouth at times. You are also put through a tutorial that is very similar to the original game and taught how you use the controls (which are the standard setup for console point-and-click games). The game begins with the presumption you either haven’t played the first game or you have simply forgotten what happened, this is rectified with a brief intro video that catches you up on everything so far. How would he be able to impress her if the planet is destroyed? As I mentioned above, this is the second game in the saga and the second game on PS4 so I would highly recommend you play the first game before this one however, the game does give enough backstory and have its own enclosed story so if you chose to start here then you wouldn’t be confused or lost. His goal in life is to try and save Deponia from being destroyed, this in itself is a selfless act I hear you cry however, the only reason he wants to save it is to impress a girl. It revolves around a rather ego-fueled tinkerer called Rufus. The series started out as a trilogy however, due to overwhelming popular demand, they decided to create a fourth game in 2016. Daedalic Entertainment has answered my prayers (or many emails and tweets) and have managed to bring the second game from the amazing Deponia series to the PS4 ( Chaos on Deponia). ![]()
