Forced into a change that saves your life but changes your outlook on the world. You have to dive in to find the truth.
First off i will cover the gameplay found within Deus Ex: Human Revolution. There are four main parts to this game and they are Combat, Stealth, Hacking and Social. You can pick which path you want to take at anytime depending on the augs you have. But just because you take a path that does not mean it will work out for you....If your trying to be stealthy and you get seen then you have a choice to make...do you make a run for it...to you try to take him down before he can call others over or do you just shoot him in the head?
To help get the jb done you have augmentations, they are technological modifications to the body that allow the user to use superhuman abilities. These Augmentations cater to each of the four gameplay types. While the player character is highly capable of bringing death on his enemies, the player is never forced into acts of lethal violence, except during boss fights. So while enhancing the player's performance in each of the gameplay types, also allow players to craft their own methods of play as they see fit.
Unlike the past two games Deus Ex: Human Revolution uses a regenerating health model. This change was made because the developers did not want players to get into a situation where they were unable to progress due to low health, and would be forced to scrounge for med packs and food. This scrounging behavior breaks the flow of the game when the player retreats to search the entire level for medical supplies. Combat is highly lethal, so regenerative health is only a major factor between fights, not during them. Your starting health is set at 100 but you can upgrade yourself so you take less damage and you can gain a boost upto 200 but it will not regen if you take damage untill you hit below the 100 mark. Not only that but the game has a regenerative energy system, This control some of the augs a player can use at anyone time. A takedown will need a full energy unit to pull off but with the right upgrades using your stealth feild may not fully drain it. Your first bar always recharges itself any others you get through upgrading your augs you have to fill by eating energy bars.
With the gameplay out of the way i am now going to look at the story a little but first i am going to look at the people who you will be interacting with.
The Characters:
Adam Jensen: Adam was a SWAT commander in the Detroit Police, but his career came to an end when he refused to follow a questionable order. Subsequently, Adam became a private security specialist for Sarif Industries, assigned to protect scientists on the verge of cutting edge breakthroughs.
David Sarif: The founder and CEO of Sarif Industries, David is a futurist who developed an interest in machines at an early age. He is known for his forward, honest demeanor, though he has no aversion to keeping secrets when appropriate (one of which to do with you).
Bill Taggart: A psychologist, Bill is the founder of the Humanity Front and becomes a leading opposition to human augmentation, a cause he took up after his wife's murder by an augmented addict.
Hugh Darrow: The godfather of Augmentation, after having retired, builds Panchaea to help control global warming. Seen as a hero for David and Megan, however, it is revealed that he regrets creating augmentation and plans to end bio-modification in a sinister and frightening way.
Zhao Yun Ru: One of the primary antagonists, she is the president of Tai Yong Medical, a rival company against Sarif Industries whose company is attempting to take control of the bio-modification market.
Dr. Megan Reed: One of the lead researchers at Sarif Industries and Adam's ex-girlfriend. Dr. Reed is considered a pioneer in the field of human enhancement technologies. However, dedication to her research and an aloof demeanor has made it difficult for her to cultivate lasting interpersonal relationships.
Faridah Malik: A helicopter pilot for Sarif Industries, she transports Jensen into various missions and locations. In one of the side missions, Malik asks Jensen to help her find the murderer of her best friend in Hengsha and bring him to justice.
Frank Pritchard: The head of Sarif's cyber-security team, Frank has a sour relationship with Jensen, however, he is Jensen's main logistical support during his missions.
Eliza Cassan: A reporter for the international news network, Picus TV. She shows interest in Jensen and his activities and supports him in uncovering the conspiracy.
Isaias Sandoval: Taggart's chief aide, who joins the Humanity Front after his augmented brother goes on a rampage and is talked down by Taggart.
Lawrence Barrett: A former marine turned mercenary, Barrett is a member of the Tyrants. Like Namir, he has augmented his already impressive physique with numerous cybernetic upgrades. He lives for the moment when he's beaten his enemy into submission, and Adam Jensen is his next target.
Yelena Fedorova: A statuesque, athletic woman of Afro-Russian descent, Yelena is one of Belltower's most elite assassins. Unlike Barrett, she favors stealth over brute force. Being one of few women in a male-dominated profession has strongly influenced her worldview, making her cautious of everything around her.
Jaron Namir: An Israeli-born mercenary, Namir is the field commander for the Tyrants. Officially a senior member of the PMC Belltower Associates, he actually takes his orders from the Illuminati. A merciless combatant, yet also a devoted family man, he has had numerous cybernetic enhancements to compensate for the decline associated with advanced age.
Tong Si Hung: The biggest crime boss in Hengsha, Tong owns a nightclub called The Hive. Later, he is revealed to be the leader of the Harvesters, a gang who deals in black market human enhancement augmentations as well as being the father of Tracer Tong, a character in the original Deus Ex.
Zeke Sanders: A former augmented soldier, Zeke is the leader of the anti-augmentation extremist group, Purity First, who leads an attack on a Sarif manufacturing plant.
