Description
Rufus is not a pleasant guy. Ill-tempered and entirely too convinced of his own greatness, he lives at the edge of a small settlement somewhere in the most remote sector of the garbage-covered planet Deponia. He dreams of a better life in the floating cities of wealth and beauty high above the planet surface. When the angelic Goal falls from these privileged spheres down into a neighboring trash heap, Rufus sees his chance. He decides to bring the unconscious beauty back to her home. Only a vague hope of making it off Deponia at first, he soon formulates an unscrupulous plan, as he learns that he is a dead ringer for Goal’s upper-class husband. The planned handover is only the beginning of a wild chase across Deponia full of twists, turns and mystifying mix-ups.

Deponia is a fast-paced comedy of errors and one of the most unusual love stories in gaming history. The twist-filled story takes its off-beat characters all over trash planet Deponia, a unique game world in the style of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Matt Groening. From Kuvaq, an improvised village built inside a giant trash heap, to the swimming black market and the dark corners of the elevated planetary railways: The new adventure game from the makers of The Whispered World, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout and A New Beginning is brought to life with detailed hand-painted backgrounds in widescreen format and top-quality cartoon animation.

  • Unique comic style with hand-drawn HD resolution 2D graphics.
  • Bizarre characters and wacky humor.
  • Challenging puzzles and hours of dialogue.
  • Unique universe in the tradition of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Matt Groening.
  • From the creators of the award-winning games Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes, and The Whispered World.

Great game

Great game, but unfortunately has many bugs that prevent from playing it properly and you have to load save files from the internet from time to time to advance in it

Full of bugs, waste of money

There are some serious bugs that won't allow you to progress. Happened to me twice. I had to download a hex editor to fix the first bug, and then download a savegame from the official developer's site. They acknowledged the bugs but they never repaired them. Plain horrible. The game also loses audio multiple times and you have to click LITERALLY 10 times on an object on your inventory for it to pop. I got so annoyed that I could not finish the game. It had lost all the fun. A pity because it is a very well achieved Point&Click game, the puzzles were decent and the art is nice.

Oldschool and very charming

If you play this game you will feel like being back in the 90s with a classic funny Point'n'Click-Adventure with an interesting main char, who seems just to just wanting all things for himself. He doesn't care about other people or his planet or whatever. He just wants to flee, leave it all behind and there is this girl named Goal who could be his chance to escape his misery of life... Well as serious as this plot sounds thats just the core of the story settled down in the very beginning of the game added with many funny characters you will meet at your journey with Rufus. I loved this game when I played it half a year ago with the german release and I hope it will find its costumers all over the world. Long live the classic adventure!

Partly good

I realize that seemingly all of the point-and-click adventure fans lavish praise on this game, and it's not entirely undeserved. It does remind me of some of my favorite classics. I love the art, the writing, characters and music. But there are a few things holding it back for me. First and foremost, the item usage doesn't always make sense. For example, at the beginning you have to catch a toothbrush with a mouse trap. It's funny, sure, and if I saw it on a cartoon it would be fine, but to get some of these things without a walkthrough you basically have to try using everything on everything else. It's really frustrating, and honestly I think I'd have had a better time watching someone else play. The other problem is, while the story is lengthy enough, I don't like it ending on a cliffhanger. Sure, sequels are great, but wrap up each game individually, not just pause a scene and expect that the player has the next installment ready to go.

Is it a good bag game or a bad good one?

Deponia is a really weird one. Lets start with the elephant in the room. His name is Rufus. He's the protagonist. Rufus is an obnoxious little brat with absolutely disgusting sense of humor. He is lazy, spiteful, egocentric and stupid. And you'll spend the whole game looking at him and listening all the terrible things he has to say. Honestly, no idea who and how came up with an idea to make a character like that. Ok, is there something undeniably good about the game? Well, the graphics. It features nice cartoonish style which never gets old on its own. On top of that the game supports high resolutions and locations have a satisfying amount of details. It looks really good. The sound and the score are 50/50. Sometimes it sounds fine, sometimes it's a bit irritating. The main track, variations of which you'll be listening half of the game, is a bit off. It's not bad but it's kinda hip-hopish. I don't mind hip-hop, but I'm not sure it fits the game's world and atmosphere. On the other hand there are tracks that are just brilliant. For instance dusty guitar riffs at the Junk Yard, now that's just something. Feels like a hangover in a desert and is extremely suitable for that location. The puzzles are sort of the same. They're logical for the most part. Not overly moonish. Can be difficult in a good way. But the game is a bit cryptic sometimes regarding what it expects you to do. I enjoyed them except for a couple of locations. What else is there. Beware of an unhealthy amount of sexism and animal cruelty. The jokes are quite cringy in this one. Sometimes I felt like re-watching American Pie - I guess it was kinda funny back when I was 13, but now.. can we pretend I didn't watch it at all?.. Deponia leaves a strange feeling after finishing it. Sometimes it's terrible, sometimes quite decent. It's a 2.5/5 really, but I can't give it 0.5 star, so I'll throw in another 0.5 for that juicy junkyard track. Play it at your own risk and don't expect much.
