In terms of core values, core plot and core play, Invisible War is the direct heir to Deus Ex. Set twenty years on from the original, after a world-wide collapse, global society is getting back on its feet. You play a nanotech-modified trainee at something called 'The Tarsus Academy'. Shortly after the opening of the game, you find yourself flying the nest and - as in the original - trying to work out what's actually going on in the world. Conspiracy and control are the two major plot threads and, yet again, this is one of the few games where NPCs have the audacity to actually lie to you. What is the truth and - when you discover it - how do you feel about it?
