A new Deponia game was unveiled today at the Future Games Show, called Surviving Deponia. But unlike the previous games in the series—all comedic point-and-click adventures—this one is a "story-driven survival" game where you'll "Explore, craft, build and fight your way through the harsh landscape of Deponia."
Surviving Deponia takes place right after the adventure games, and promises to give fans of the series "canonical closure about Elysium’s fate and Deponia’s citizens." I'm not sure how many gamers out there are actually concerned about such a thing, but as you can see from the trailer it's not an overly happy conclusion: Elysium has fallen from orbit and crashed into the h25 com สล็อต surface of Deponia, and the once dirty-but-otherwise-not-entirely-unpleasant world has been turned into a Mad Max-style nightmare, complete with water shortages, violent enemies, and dangerous monsters.
Amidst all that, you'll gather resources—junk, I would suppose—build and upgrade a base, make allies and enemies, and do your best to stay alive.
My question at this admittedly early stage is... why? Deponia isn't a "big" series by any measure, and it's been years since the last game, Deponia Doomsday, which came out in 2016 and didn't make much of a splash. Maybe it saves a little time laying down a narrative framework, but it's still kind of a weird shift, in both genre and narrative. I don't know h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ if I qualify as a "fan," strictly speaking, but I quite enjoyed the first Deponia, in part because it was kind of a chill, happy game: It's a goofy, slapstick comedy, and the people of Deponia, while not exactly happy with their lot, are a community, working together in relative harmony to carve out a decent life under tough circumstances. Casting all of that aside to turn Deponia into a violent, unforgiving life-and-death arena feels a little off to me.
It's an interesting idea, though, and if it embraces Deponia's underlying silliness more than it appears to right now, it might work really well. (If I have to kill a whole bunch of my fellow Deponians for a piece of rotten cabbage, on the other hand, I don't think I'll enjoy it quite so much.) We'll find out which way that goes later this year: Surviving Deponia is set to launch later in 2023 on Steam.
