Deus Ex: Invisible War takes place approximately 20 years after the events depicted in Deus Ex, in a world
only beginning to recover from a secret, conspiratorial war, technology run amok and catastrophic worldwide depression.
The winner-take-all geopolitics of mid-21st century Earth have given way to a struggle over more basic concerns: food,
water, re-establishing civil law and cleaning up biological and nano-tech fallout. Several religious and political
factions see in the chaos the opportunity to shape a worldwide government and they know that the right moves now could
determine the shape of human society for decades even centuries to come. The player must reveal the secrets of each
faction and the identities of the true players in this struggle for world power. In the end, the player discovers that
he or she may be the key to all of the factions plans. But the greatest mystery of all the games true goal is more
personal, much deeper and, for maximum impact, is best revealed during play. The story is an important part of any
Deus Ex-universe game but character development, simulation and gameplay are, taken together, the real heart of the matter.
Like its predecessor, Deus Ex: Invisible War allows players to participate in the telling of a powerful story, rich
in mystery, lies and intrigue. In addition to a host of new conspiratorial friends and foes, players can expect
encounters with a variety of characters from the original Deus Ex game. And, once again, players visit a variety
of real world locations made more exotic by the passage of time.
In Deus Ex: Invisible War players create a compelling alter ego through the selection of futuristic nano-tech
augmentations, powerful weapons and hundreds of useful objects. As in the revolutionary Deus Ex game, character
choices, weapons and object use work in combination with a richly interactive world to give players freedom to solve
game problems the way they want to, rather than the way the designers want them to. Gamers can fight, sneak, talk
or hack their way past any problem encountered and every situation can be dealt with in a variety of ways.
That freedom to choose a play style set Deus Ex apart from other games and Deus Ex: Invisible War takes the idea
further a deeper simulation than ever before offers players even more control over the action.
Deus Ex: Invisible War features a more powerful physics system, startlingly believable AI, dramatically
enhanced character modeling and animation, a groundbreaking sound propagation system and state-of-the art
lighting and graphics. The game systems contribute materially to gameplay, minute-to-minute, mission-to-mission,
and beginning to end.
