Players take control of Rufus once more as he traverses through the hazardous wastelands of Deponia and even finally makes his way to the bastion that is Elysium. In terms of gameplay, this is very much a point and click adventure game. He does have some redeeming qualities, but sometimes his jokes get old. Maybe it’s just because we’ve heard Rufus consistently rub his ego, but his childish ways continue forward into another ten to fifteen hour long adventure. Unfortunately, the script itself comes off even more foolish than ever before. It’s not only about the sickly events that transpire, as there are always cute adorable animals being slaughtered with smiles on their faces, but the dialogue lends to this. Dadeadlic continues to bring their morbid sense of humor to the plot, never willing to sacrifice comedy for the politically correct. This forces Rufus to use his newly discovered time machine to uncover what went wrong and again save Deponia from its dreary future. After Rufus awakes from his daze, he’s distracted by a strange pink elephant that ultimately causes the destruction of his girlfriend Toni’s priceless collection of glasses, something that seems vital in the rift of time.
The plot itself is fairly straightforward for a time-traveling adventure. Goal’s feelings and experiences with our protagonist are non-existent, meaning we get to see their first introduction all over again but in various chaotic ways. If you liked the events that transpired throughout the trilogy, well you’re going to have to throw those memories away. This is one of the more bizarre aspects of the game, having a story that somewhat folds in on itself. Deponia seems to have been turned into an unfortunate state, with giant lizard monsters running amuck and Elysium having come crashing down to its own destruction. The first part of the game is one of the better moments from the campaign thanks to the immediate recognition of David Hayter (from Metal Gear Solid fame) voicing Old Rufus. There’s nothing like giving one of the most self-centered narcissists on the planet the power to change history as we know it.ĭeponia Doomsday takes place essentially before the events of the trilogy where our protagonist Rufus awakes from a nightmarish dream where he not only saved Deponia, but in his later years destroys it. Well it looks like it was all a dream or was it? Daedalic Entertainment was not content with how things concluded in Goodbye Deponia and have gone back to the well for even more adventures, and the only way to do such a thing is give the doofus Rufus a time machine for him mess up the space time continuum. Remember when Deponia came to a conclusion last year? Despite a somewhat abrupt end, it was Rufus’ one shining act of heroism that helped saved the planet Deponia from immediate destruction, ultimately sacrificing his life, or at least it’s assumed so.
