The verdict
A short, simplified mobile port of Human Revolution that ends on a cliffhanger. Only worth it for series fans at a deep discount; skip it at full price or if you want a real Deus Ex.
Great for
Deus Ex fans who want a bite-sized extra story and can grab it for a dollar or two in a bundle
Main risk
Very short, clunky mobile port whose story stops on a cliffhanger that was never continued
What players love
Cheap on sale or in bundles
