60 of 194 · most liked firstI bought this game legally from Humble in 2016, then THQ removed it from my library citing a "refund" recall. I was not given a refund in any way, shape and form (refunds on 10+ year old purchases is not even possible) THQ then proceeded to lock all forum threads calling out their illicit key revoking and attempted to pawn it off on Humble. They seem to believe that when their company makes a mistake, it is the customer that has to fix it. After reaching out to Humble, they in turn blame THQ,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Publisher revoked all Humble Bundle keys ever purchased. Valve you really need to put a stop to this! It was fine when it was some indie dev who released a turd and blamed the world for it and revoked valid bundle keys. But this was a AAA game by a AAA publisher who has now nuked legally obtained keys over a decade after purchase!!! There needs to be a time limit on when a publisher/dev can revoke keys. I shouldn't have to wake up to a notice from Steam that my LEGALLY purchased game from…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like a lot of people are saying, my copy has been revoked. Bought it on a Humble Bundle game bundle back in 2014. This is the only company that has ever stole a game from me in my whole life (I have a early access games in my library that are abandon by the developer, but they never removed my copy and I can still play it). Valve should have never let this happen.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*** WARNING *** Purchased legitimately from Humble Bundle - THQ Nordic apparently revoked hundreds of keys "by mistake", thereby removing from Steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game in 2016 from Humble Bundle, now removed as of July 2025. The Dev has issued fraudulent refund claims and revoked all keys
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I myself had purchased this from Humble in 2014 and just received a message today that it was being removed from my account due to a refund. Yet I never received or requested a refund for this. Like everyone else has said just had money stolen because of a decision to revoke activation keys from eleven years ago.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This company, much like many others have already noted, has revoked this key that I purchased through Humble back in 2015. This is ludicrous, and I'm reaching out to HumbleBundle about it, but I'm absolutely never buying from this trash-tier scam company even via Humble again. Trust nothing from THQ Nordic, they've devolved into scammers clearly. I fully expect any other titles I have from them will end up revoked as well due to this shady business practise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like many others, I received a notification that my game has been removed from my library because of a "refund". I have not requested a refund, and had purchased this through humble bundle. The ability to take away keys like this long after the fact is very disturbing. What's next? Are you taking away my Chernobylite? I am currently playing it, and was considering buying Chernobylite 2, but not not. Be aware that I will NOT repurchase any games you remove in this way, and also will not buy…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I already played the game, so retroactively stealing it from me after a legitimate purchase I made 10 years ago is somewhat feckless. Not sure what this dev is up to but the game, though fun, is very dated now. I can't help but wonder if THQ Nordic is going to steal more titles from me, and what a terrible precedent it sets.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd love to write a review for Deadfall Adventures. I've had this game since 2016. Now it's been revoked from my account for... no reason given. Steam blames THQ. THQ won't take responsibility. I'm SOL unless I repurchase the game. I figure its a scam of some type to force folks into purchasing twice. Let the buyer beware!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just like a lot of the recent reviewers, i got my product code revoked for a game that i had owned from 2 Sep 2015. 10 years later the devs decided to revoke license keys from Humble Bundle...is this a joke? After 10 years devs give away games for free, especially on franchisees which don't have any prequels or sequels, and now they got my purchase revoked, the in game message from steam says refunded, but no such thing as happened. Bad Devs and an overall bad joke.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game back in 2014 and for some reason, here in 2025, got a msg today saying it has been removed from my Steam account. (Never seen this kind of msg before in almost 20 years on Steam for any other game) Of course, I see the option is there to buy it again! What kind of BS is this?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO.NOT.BUY.THIS.GAME. I legally purchased this title as part of a Humble Bundle in 2016, and NINE YEARS LATER I had it removed from my account, as the devs have allegedly revoked all of the keys purchased from that site. I did NOT request a refund, nor did I receive one from Humble. Somebody just received MY money for a refund of MY legally purchased product. THQ Nordic/The Farm 51 owe me and everyone else $20 (or renewed access to this title), and I would highly recommend steering clear of…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just don't. Everything is broken, and you have to download binaries from an untrusted third party to get the original gaming experience. You can't even find walkthroughs for the current version, because it's a completely different game than what is currently represented on Steam. Apparently all of the rave reviews I read were about the version that USED to be on steam. I ran into a game breaking bug, preventing me from proceeding about an hour in, maybe less. Thinking maybe it was me I tried…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, mix of Indiana Jones, Mummy and Tomb Raider. Also you go to kill Nazzies, which is always a big plus :). If you just want to have some good time and relax, this is the game for you. Just don't get this game seriously, it has lost for cheesy cringe worthy jokes but it only adds to the fun. You can pick it up on sale for a couple of bucks and it's more than worth it. had a blast with it, with they would come up with sequel, but I doubt it would happen. Also, roll back to patch 1 to get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deadfall Adventures is a budget Indiana Jones adventure mixed with a modern military shooter. It's not very polished; it's clear it was made by a smaller studio, but it's quite charming. It's still a globe-trotting adventure, raiding temples and ruins and fighting strange monstrosities, clearly inspired by pulp adventure stories. There are also traps and some puzzles to solve, and the environments are pretty cool. It has some shortcomings: the gunplay is clunky, the enemy AI is pretty stupid,…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For random game Saturday it's Deadfall Adventures, The Great Circle before the Great Circle! I've been playing this on PS3. It's a thoroughly mid, very jank pastiche of everything Indiana Jones and Brendan Fraser's Mummy. Possibly the most Unreal Engine 3 game ever. Strangely compelling though...
unlabelledView post →In a nutshell, an adventure movie turned FPS with [url=www.imdb.com/title/tt0082971]a wise-cracking hero raiding mysteries in ancient temples between getting into skirmishes with nazis. Being an FPS, those skirmishes are talked by the language of bullets. I gotta say, getting used to the guns took me a bit but it makes sense for automatic weapons from back then not really providing the precision. A Kar 98, on the other hand, does the job fine while lacking in terms of fire rate. Emptying a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely fantastic game, especially for Gen X-ers who grew up loving Indiana Jones or just the sort of players who still love a globe trotting story, full of danger and forgotten places. DA really surprised me. Though I suppose it's shouldn't. Solid combat and level design, and a few REALLY cool set pieces. Voice is decent, and character design is quite good. Worth it at full price, an absolute STEAL on sale. Even if it doesn't sound like your thing, ANY FPS fan would be well served if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Boring" would be a very polite way to describe this game. A more accurate description however would be "repetitive", "tedious", "lacking", and most importantly: "dull". Deadfall is a dreadful attempt at an "original" IP with some boring action, lame puzzles, a barely thought out story and a copy paste setting from Indiana Jones (which mind you, if you at all actually like Indiana Jones, you'd see every single problem with this game). The game is so boring, I struggle to find anything…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A somewhat basic pulp-action puzzler/shooter that makes up in charm what it lacks in polish. You take on the role of Allan Quatermain's two-fisted, treasure-hunting great-grandson -- James, or something -- who gets employed by some globe-trotting G-Men in a race against Nazis, searching for a mythical treasure. They need your granddaddy's magical compass to help them find the loot -- and that's what you get to use it for, too. Treasures provide upgrade opportunities, so there's incentive to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its first person indiana jones, with a bit more focus on action than puzzle solving, though there are some puzzles and traps to solve none of them are too difficult. The focus here is the FPS action, with fire fights with Nazis, Russians, and the undead on occasion. It's a fun time with a decent enough length for the price. The gun play might not be anything to write home about but the environments and action are good for what they are.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before I played Deadfall Adventures, i had a small wee wee, no friends, no girlfriend, depression and absolutely no will to live. None of these things have changed, but the game is pretty good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deadfall Adventures: The closest thing to being Indiana Jones if he forgot that he was a professor at a university and was kill hungry and just wanted all the artifacts for himself. Great game, combat, exploration, puzzles. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and highly recommend this game to players out there. This is a hidden gem and really super fun to play. It took me 18 hours to complete, but I did boost the ♥♥♥♥ out of the multiplayer achievements so I recommend you get a buddy and just farm…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Positive surprise, clone of Indiana Jones but made right and with guns! Visiting Egypt is just a prologue, later also more frozen places and America... but no more spoilers, puzzles are easy but sometimes not much intuitive, i needed to use journal as a hint. AI is dumb, but anyway gameplay is fun - buy and play just for story. Graphically looks okay, played 4k and all maxed and despite age and funny looking faces of Germans and Russians as your enemies, all look good. Story was quite…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun but warning and the main reason for thumbs down this game has NO MULTIPLAYER and about 20+ MP achievements you can NEVER GET if you are a completionist... stay away. there is no way to get these if anyone knows how please let me know here or post it.. thq doesnt care and the devs are long defunct valve should remove these kind of cheevs after x y z its mind numbing to play and lower that 100% of all games to a 98% just from one game other than that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game with great "Indiana Jones" style ambiance. Controls are easy and intuitive, puzzles are easy, if somewhat obtuse (but that's the point of a puzzle, isn't it?), and graphics are nice considering its age. I generally find FPS games boring after a while, but two stand out in my mind: The original "Half-Life" and "Return to Castle Wolfenstein". Like these games, "Deadfall" has a good variety of levels that remain within its setting while keeping the game play varied as well. Not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a nice surprise, never heard of this back in the days, the game looks absolutely gorgeous !!!! It shows it's age however is somehow realistic , the weapons feels solid the graphics look lovely on the OG steam deck, I think they will shine on the OLED model, found it very cheap on a key site £ 1.5 for the deluxe version, I love it ! Recommend it !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →need more games like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deadfall Adventures is an okay puzzle action game and an okay Tomb Raider clone, also I never played the multiplayer so I don't know how good it is. So the story. James Lee Quatermain the great grandson of legendary explorer Allan Quatermain is a man of many talents, adventurer, sharpshooter, demolition expert, ladies man and notorious gambler. He has milked his grandfather's legacy as an explorer himself and accomplished author printing his grandfather's legacy in books, but he has never…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →indiana jones was super cool why cant he have new games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a fairly solid action adventure FPS. It reminds me a lot of Rise of the Tomb Raider in terms of story and detail. I would highly recommend this game for anyone looking for a first person Tomb Raider inspired game. Trust me, you will be pleasantly surprised by how good it actually is.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you love Puzzlegames. This one is for you. If not? Look elsewhere! Because ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ there is a lot. Tomb Raider and Uncharted doesnt even come close to how many puzzles a game can throw at you. My brain hurts. Shoot some bad guys and solve a puzzle. Move 5 feet, solve another puzzle. I mean the game doesnt give you a break. It got really tedious after a while and im only 4h into the game. Graphics, animations, and voice acting is terrible and cringe. Not even up to 2013 standards…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very lackluster shooter with the plot of an Indiana Jones movie, and the gameplay of Aliens: Colonial Marines
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story: Deadfall Adventures is loosely tied into the series of books about the adventures of Allan Quatermain by H. Rider Haggard. If you ever heard of the 1885 novel King Solomon's Mines or seen one of the movie adaptations, you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, I implore you to check them out. Allan Quatermain was an English professional big game hunter and adventurer. We're playing as James Lee Quatermain the great-grandson of Allan. He's an adventurer too and maybe a big game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Also "Deadfall Adventures" is a horrifically bad name for a video game that isn't an 80s throwback platformer.
unlabelledView post →Absolutely superb journey through the puzzles and ancient ruins. Very atmospheric and the game plays just as crisp today. If you loved watching Mummy films, you would really enjoy this game. Don't pass it guys and have an enjoyable time!! x
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deadfall Adventures is partially inspired by the Allan Quatermain series of books written in the late 1800's and early 1900's, and partially inspired by adventure films such as the Indiana Jones and The Mummy franchises. It is a first person shooter with some exploration and puzzle solving set in 1938. It is also just okay as a game. Featuring all of the hallmarks of cheaply made AA titles doomed to the bargain bin at your local gamestop almost as soon as they were released, Deadfall…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Deadfall Adventures is pure cheesy b-movie shlock in video game form but you get to kill Nazis so who am I to complain?
unlabelledView post →The game has a progress halting bug right at around 2h mark. Where your 'friend AI' will run off and trigger some random plate, it messes the statue so you cant unlock the door and progress further. Its like these scumbags kept this bug in the game for all those years so that you couldnt refund the game and get your money back. AVOID THIS TRASH at all costs!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lots of Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider type fun. TONS of puzzles, traps, treasures! Verticality is very limited, so jumping is severely limited, however it doesn't affect the fun of this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Игра моего детства. Покупал пиратский диск, а затем купил оригинал. Герой, похож на Индиана Джонса. Нацисты и мумии. Сокровища и приключения. В этой игре всё идеально. Нашел все сокровища и даже записал гайд по их поиску для YouTube. Видео до сих пор смотрят и лайкают)) Моя оценка 10/10.YouTube: ZBANKO.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was a ok B game until the end of chapter 2 where a puzzle doesn't trigger after completing it making it unplayable
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →buy it on very big discount . game feels like old and cheap indiana jones , doesn't have a lot of features , very easy puzzles (played on normal , puzzles feels like 5graders level, some of them notebook just says exactly what to do , no brains included) it's more like action shooter than puzzle game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We have Indiana Jones and The Great Circle at home
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I couldn't play more than 3 hours. The game focus on exploration to find items and unlock skills, but it's way too punishing as we can't go back (it is checkpoint-saving system) and the checkpoints are not well chosen. In particular the beginning of the second mission was unbearable to me. After having to re-watch the cutscene about five times because the items were either protected by deadly traps or pitfalls, and at least two of them. It was also very frustrating to become stuck while…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid action adventure game, not without flaws but imo worth recommending. It has Indiana Jones-esk / The Mummy vibe to it. Selling points of this game for me are diverse, good looking environments like desert, polar, volcanic, jungle, satisfying gunplay, quite fun puzzles with tips contained in cool looking, hand-drawn style notebook, and pretty interesting, likeable characters. On contrary, biggest downsides of Deadfall I can think of are music, especially ambient from arctic levels, its…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fun enough, but it's just kinda poorly put together. Right from the start it's obvious that this game needed another proofreading pass, and if there's issues with something as small as that, then you know there's even bigger issues in other areas. I don't know a thing about Indiana Jones or the source material for this game, and to someone with that complete lack of familiarity, this really comes across as a goofy, surface-level caricature of the adventure genre: it starts out in an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure how I got this game but I sure hope I didn't pay for it? Stopped playing on the 2nd level because its very easy to die and lose progress, the only way to save is checkpoints!? This game is nowhere good enough to be worth putting up with that. I'm an adventurer who CANT SWIM AND DIES THE INSTANT HE TOUCHES WATER? From the one level I completed I'd give it a 3/10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like Indiana Jones or Quatemain movies (his grandson is the main character in this game), chasing greedy for ancient knowledge Nazis, Soviets, fighting mummies, solving puzzles or riddles, looking for treasures, shooting and wandering around - this is something that may satisfy you. But remember, this game was released in 2013. Graphics - 7/10 (2013) Music - it does its job - 7/10 Plot - ok...maybe 6,5/10, it is quite simple - just like in adventure movies it only can be (maybe not only,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Full disclosure: I played using the mod that downgrades the game back to a previous version (look it up) because it adds back in stuff that they cut in the most recent update so this review is not for the game as is. Also MANY of my hours are from having the game paused for hours while I ate or watched Youtube and forgot the game was still up. Great game, beautiful, tight controls and mechanics, voice acting isn't so bad. The story is stupid but you gotta glue the game loop together somehow.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good representation of games of this time. Deadfall Adventures is a linear adventure FPS with treasure searching. The graphics are decent with some good vistas here and there and good lighting. The story depicts the adventures of a cheap Indiana Jones. Literally since you play the grand-son of Alan Quatermain, which was a 80' series of B-movies with Richard Chamberlain copying Indiana Jones. The gunplay do the job, nothing extraodinary but it's enjoyable. The game runs flawlessly and…
