Invisible War follows on about 25 years after one of the many different ends of Deus Ex (don’t worry, there’ll be no spoilers from me here). You star as Alex D, a promising new bio-mod recruit at the Tarsus training facility who is rudely awakened one morning to find the base under attack. Basic investigation during this attack reveals that Chicago has been levelled in a recent nano-attack and that you’re not so much a recruit as a test subject. This sort of revelation fuels the storyline of Invisible War, which is riddled with twists and conspiracies. Nothing is quite what it seems and no-one can be trusted. This is all very much like the original Deus Ex, but there have been changes made in an attempt to create a genuine sequel rather than a lazy upgrade.
