Über das Spiel

Deponia ist eine rasante Verwechslungskomödie und die abgedrehteste Liebesgeschichte, die die Spielewelt seit langem gesehen hat. Die einzigartige Spielwelt steht in der Tradition von Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett und Matt Groening. Die wendungsreiche Geschichte voller seltsamer Charaktere führt durch zahlreiche Winkel des namensgebenden Schrottplaneten, wie dem Mülldorf Kuvaq, dem schwimmenden Schwarzmarkt oder den dunkelsten Ecken des planetaren Hochbahnsystems. Detaillierte handgezeichnete Grafik im Widescreen-Format und erstklassige Zeichentrick-Animationen im Comic-Stil erwecken die Welt zum Leben.

Rufus ist kein angenehmer Charakter. Verschroben und übellaunig lebt er in einer kleinen Siedlung irgendwo im abgelegensten Quadranten der weltumspannenden Müllkippe Deponia. Doch Rufus fühlt sich zu Höherem berufen und träumt von einem Leben in den „oberen Schichten“, den schwebenden Städten hoch über der Planetenoberfläche. Als plötzlich die wunderschöne Goal aus eben diesen privilegierten Sphären in einen benachbarten Müllberg fällt, wittert Rufus seine Chance. Er beschließt, die bewusstlose Schönheit zurück in ihre Heimat zu bringen. Stellt dieses Vorhaben am Anfang nur eine vage Hoffnung dar, so festigt sich schon bald ein skrupelloser Plan: Rufus entpuppt sich nämlich als das exakte Ebenbild von Goals Ehemann aus der Oberwelt. Die geplante Übergabe wird zum Startschuss für eine verwirrende Verfolgungsjagd voller verrückter Verwechslungen…

Ich kann dieses Spiel jedem herzlichst empfehlen, der Humor, die Charaktere und spannende Rätsel sorgen für sehr gute Unterhaltung. Manchmal ist es extrem knifflig aber die Lösung hat dann einen umso unerwarteten Joke. Das Gameplay ist relativ klassisch Point & Click Adventure, dass ohne wunderbar läuft. Außerdem leitet eine sehr amüsante Quadrologie bestmöglich ein, sodass man direkt den darauffolgenden Teil spielen muss!!!

Unser Planet erstickt Im Müll!

Tja, lieber Leser, das wissen wir alle seit vielen Jahren und trotzdem schmeißen wir unseren Unrat immerfort in Weltmeere und Wald und Wiesen. Sollen doch zukünftige Generationen zusehen, wie sie damit klar kommen. Hah!

Und es geht sogar noch schlimmer! Der Heimatplanet eines gewissen Rufus nämlich, Deponia heißt der, ist gleich ganz und gar eine riesige Mülldeponie. Das ist ein Blick in unsere Zukunft, für Rufus hingegen schon bittere Gegenwart.
Also entschließt dieser Rufus sich, schnellstens von dort zu verschwinden. Schade nur, dass es er kompletter Trottel vor dem Herrn ist, unfähig, egoistisch und tollpatschig.
Aber er hat, was jedem wahren Entdecker eigen ist: Nicht etwa Forscherdrang oder Einfallsreichtum, sondern ein gigantisches Ego und die Fähigkeit, das absolut Unabänderliche niemals zu akzeptieren.

Dermaßen trotzig startet er und damit natürlich auch Du, lieber Leser, auch ins Spiel. Mal wieder scheitert einer von Rufis fruchtlosen Versuchen, nach Elysium zu gelangen, der Heimstatt nicht etwa der Götter, sondern der besser Gestellten. Die müssen nicht im Abfall vegetieren, sondern leben ein Leben in Saus und Braus hoch oben auf einer Station, die über Deponia schwebt.
Bis dahin schafft es Rufus natürlich nicht, doch fällt ihm eine Bewohnerin dieser besseren Welt in die Arme, Goal.
Der Tunichtgut ist sofort schock verliebt und schon geht sie los, die wilde Reise über Verschwörung, Liebe, Abenteuer und Intrigen....

Und Du bist live mit dabei, in einer Welt, so detailverliebt und wunderschön gezeichnet, dass man oft nur da sitzt und staunt, ob der vielen witzigen und genialen Winzigkeiten in jedem Bild. Ganz großes Kino nennt man das wohl.

Und so schön die Grafik rüberkommt, so toll weiß der Sound das Bild noch zu toppen, die Stimmen der Figuren, die Musik und die Kulisse stimmen bis ins letzte und verleihen der Welt eine plastische Tiefe, die einen sofort in ihren Bann schlägt.

Richtig sympatisch wirds dann bei den Charakteren, ist Rufus noch ein liebenswerter Trottel, sind auch die andere Figuren im Spiel höchst eigenwillig und immer schrullig, sympatisch, drollig oder fies. Aber jede hat ihren ganz eigenen Charme und besticht durch eine Einzigartigkeit, die im Genre fast nur mit den alten Lukas Arts Games vergleichbar ist. Und das ist durchaus ein echter Ritterschlag.

Zwei Sachen noch, dann darfst Du endlich loslegen, ich merke schon, wie unruhig Du langsam beim Lesen wirst: Zum einen die Rätsel, ist ja schließlich ein Adventure. Und ja, wirklich fast alle Rätsel sind mit mehr oder minder gesundem Verstand zu lösen, oft wird um die ein oder andere Ecke gedacht und es fühlt sich angenehm belohnend an, wenn man des Pudels Kern dann doch entdeckt. Toll.

Und das Wichtigste zum Schluss: Der Humor! Ja, der ist einfach der Hammer, es wird gelacht und geprustet, sogar soviel, dass Deponia eines der wenigen Adventures ist, die mit mehreren Leuten vorm Rechner sogar noch mehr Spaß machen. Reife Leistung... wenn Dein Humorversändnis ein wenig schwärzlich gefärbt ist, schadet es aber ganz sicher nicht...

So und hier sind wir also, lieber Leser, Du liest und ich schreibe. Dabei sollte zumindest einer von uns beiden was anderes machen. Also leg schonmal los, Deponia hat vier Teile, da kannst Du dann gleich weiterzocken, wenn Du den ersten durch hast und ja, die sind alle richtig gut, also hopp hopp...

Und während Du nebenbei Teil eins installierst, wünsch ich Dir schonmal....

... viel Spaß ;-)

Deponia....

Ich hatte mir das Spiel im Sale geholt, um die aus dem Hause Daedalic stammende Spielereihe anzufangen. Und von diesem ersten Teil bin ich hellauf begeistert.

Fangen wir mit der Story an, die an sich nichts besonderes ist. Protagonist will weg von seinem Planeten, gerät in ein Schlamassel und muss dieses zu seinem Gunsten wenden. Dazu kommen einige gut gesetzte Wendungen und Überraschungen. Im Ganzen solide, jedoch nichts, was einem aus den Socken haut.

Als Nächstes Gameplay, welches in einem Point & Click an sich sehr simpel ist, jedoch sind die Rätsel insgesamt herausfordernd und man muss im Dialog der Charakter genau aufpassen, um nicht einen Hinweis zu verpassen. Denn Hinweise außerhalb von Dialogen gibt es nicht. Ein paar Bugs sind noch vorhanden, die man aber beheben kann (Sprengplan).

Bevor wir zu den Charakteren kommen, erstmal die Musik, welche gelungen das Spiel ergänzt. Mir gefiel sie, bis auf seltene Dauerschleifen sehr gut.

Die Charaktere sind wunderbar. Alle unglaublich einzigartig, witzig oder bedrohlich. Angefangen beim unverbesserlichen, aber dennoch herzensguten Protagonist bis hin zur Rezeptionistin mit Stimmbruch. Alle sind einprägsam und bleiben im Gedächtnis, auch wenn manche nicht besonders lang zu sehen sind. Vor allem die Dialoge und die hervorragende Arbeit der Synchronsprecher lassen die Charaktere in neue Höhen steigen.

Um ein Fazit zu ziehen: Deponia ist ein gelungenes Spiel, welches defintiv einen Kauf wert ist. Vor allem die Charaktere(allen voran Rufus, Goal und Lotti) sind mir ans Herz gewachsen. Ein würdiger Vertreter seines Genres.

Ich versuche hier mal nicht zu Spoilern sondern gebe jedem Spieler*in den tipp UNBEDINGT zu speichern bevor ihr die Magnete das erste mal bewegt. Da kommt es gerne zu einem extrem nervigen Bug. Ich habs nicht gemacht und kann nun komplett von vorne Starten.

Das Spiel sieht nett aus und hat bis zu dem Punkt auch durchaus Spass gemacht. Das ich beim googeln allerdings heraus gefunden habe das der bug schon seit 2013 bekannt ist Nervt wirklich enorm.

Mit Deponia erhaltet ihr ein wunderschönes Point and Click Adventure. Der Grafikstil ist angenehm und dem Setting entsprechend sehr passend. Das ganze Spiel hat einen sehr netten Humor der den meisten Spielern den ein oder anderen lacher aufs Gesicht zaubern dürfte. Die Charactere sind auch alle sehr nett gestaltet.
Ich persönlich kann Point and Click Adventures nur mit Lösung spielen, die Rätsel sind mir zu Abstrakt und try and Error mäßig.

Spiel ist ganz nett, aber Achievements sind sehr versteckt, verpassbar und auch verbuggt (der entwickler hat Savefiles um die erfolge zu bekommen, ist aber irgendwie nicht sinn der sache oder?)

Ein so altes Spiel immer noch verbuggt zu verkaufen ist eigentlich ziemlich Dreist. Ich hatte einen bekannten Bug (Minenkarte/Sprengungen/Magnete nicht verschiebbar) der ein weiterkommen unmöglich gemacht hat. Nur rätselt man hald erstmal ein paar Stunden herum, bis man es googelt.

I want to like this game so bad. It got a fascinating world, catchy music and amazing art but it ends there. I find the main protagonist to be very unlikable and annoying. Most of it is played for laugh but unlike other point-and-click games, his actions aren’t done for good and have a very little redeeming factor. The protagonist's actions seem like they are done for his own ego and selfishness. And when chapters 2 and 3 kicks in, I have little to no empathy for him. The last point I want to make is on the puzzle, it is nonsensical and often made me cringe into the very core of my well-being. I know that a lot of point-and-click games have these types of humor, but this is pushing way beyond the limit, to the point that I feel uncomfortable solving it. You'll be sitting there, trying every combination because the puzzles make zero sense.

That's an incredibly famous game and considered a great one, but nobody talks about the major defects that make it impossible to play, it's lame a huge indie franchise like this one has such misfortunes.
Since 2013 developers didn't fix some bugs from the game even with many people telling them about it! They make sequences but the problems are still there on the first one, it's lazy and without regard to the players. It's a good game if you don't get stuck because of their issues to run it, or if you don't come across puzzles that don't move at all. It was just a waste of time for me.

Zitat:

Deponia is a point-and-click adventure game where you play as Rufus, a sociopathic adventure game protagonist on a quest to rescue a woman that fell from the sky.

Presentation


Deponia starts off with a comedic musical number outlining the basic premise. It’s a strong opener in the sense that you get a good idea of what the rest of the game is going to be like, but I absolutely hated it. These plot-relevant songs reappear a few more times, each as unfunny as the last.

After this unique opening, you get your first taste of the graphics and they’re pretty solid. Nothing game-changing, but definitely a strong point. The animations are certainly mediocre, although they aren’t bad enough to ruin the game. Similarly, the soundtrack isn’t awful, but you spend so much time listening to the same looping song that it gets stale after a while.

Story and Writing


As with most point-and-click adventure games, the narrative is a major focal point. In Deponia, the basic premise is simply the main character, Rufus, trying to help a beautiful woman return home. Obviously, I’m leaving out plenty of details along the way, but the entire story is essentially a prequel to the next entry in the franchise. There isn’t any meaningful character development, and it ends right when things start to pick up. It’s as if the entire narrative is simply filler trying to stall until the sequel comes out.

Even though I found the overall plot to be underwhelming, the dialogue shines through as the worst part of Deponia. Almost every character is used to set up jokes, but they rarely land. Most are corny one-liners or puns that might get a mild chuckle at best. Some come off quite poorly, such as Rufus always trying to be left alone with an unconscious woman, or the stereotypical bearded man in a dress demanding to be called ma’am. Beyond that, the comedy comes from Rufus’s humorous observations.

Rufus is an over-the-top version of a stereotypical adventure game protagonist. It’s a genre full of characters that are supposed to be heroes but often do horrible things to achieve their goals. Here, it’s played for laughs and I generally enjoy the concept, but it’s weighed down by lackluster execution. He’s a monster, but it’s not funny, just unlikable. When the plot needs him to switch into a more heroic role, they slap together a mildly redemptive scene to show he isn’t all bad, but it’s not enough to make him palatable.

Gameplay


You can expect to see all the classic point-and-click game mechanics: vague item-based puzzles, extensive dialogue trees, and hidden objects that blend in with the background. Unfortunately for Deponia, it can’t use its age as an excuse for its shortcomings, because it came out in 2012. Puzzles occasionally venture into “moon logic”, where the solution is so esoteric or nonsensical that you’ll either waste your time guessing or be forced to look up a guide. This isn’t to say every puzzle is exceptionally hard, it’s just that many solutions require you to think exactly as the developers did. This mostly crops up when you need to combine items because your inventory can begin to balloon as you progress, leaving you with dozens of potential combinations to try. Most players will only get stuck once or twice, so a guide isn’t required, but I also didn’t find the puzzles satisfying to solve, so I wouldn’t worry about ruining the experience by checking a walkthrough; frankly, you aren’t missing out on much.

Verdict


Deponia has a few bits and pieces that are great, but they’re overshadowed by the abysmal comedy and lackluster gameplay. It wastes your time with long, drawn-out puzzles that are more frustrating than challenging. The story is a barebones prologue that should have been trimmed down and combined with its sequel. That being said, the best way to decide if you should give it a shot is to watch the intro song. If you get a chuckle out of it, this might be the game for you. Otherwise, you’re in for a painfully unfunny time.

2/10

I encountered a game breaking bug which didn't allow me to proceed and which apparently hasn't been fixed for years (magnets not moving).

Steam didn't allow me to refund it despite less than 2 hours played. Absolutely awful service and it's sad the bug hasn't been fixed cause otherwise the game is pretty fun.

This game has an adorable look, cute riddles, and witty gameplay.

I thoroughly enjoyed it until I came across the infamous detonation plan bug (which is well in the game). Apparently it has been around since the game came out, and nobody did anything about it. Unless you use a walkthrough, there is no way you could know to avoid this bug. Also, you move painfully slowly, but you can get over it.

Therefore, for now - it has to be a negative review because I really don't want to restart the several hours of gameplay again. I'll leave it be for a couple of years, and hopefully come back to it again to fully enjoy it.
And TO ANYONE LOOKING INTO BUYING THIS GAME - do it, but make a bunch of savegames in different slots just to be sure.

Phew. Not good. Really not good.
It reeks of 90ties and gameplay is stale. There might not be much more to say about it. I watched a bit further on a Youtube playthrough and it got even worse.

It might be a game when you really don't want to think and stare at a screen. With occasional giggles. I mean, the tutorial was sorta fun. I had a slight chuckle there. I really ask myself if that was something as a product of its time? On the other hand, Grim Fandango made many of the same mistakes and had sort of the same problems. I'd say Deponia is better due to the modern UI, the lovely 2D grafics and the charm that comes with that. Still. Not worth my time.

The characters are really unlikable, not a single one that I liked. Wenzel in the tutorial was kinda okay, but even he went downhill from there. I get the kind of fun that Lucas Arts brought in the early 90ties. Every character was horrible just to string jokes into each other. They were exaggerated stereotypes (specially if you think about Sam & Mix Hit the Road and Day of the Tentacle). Deponia sort of succeeds to bring back all the weirdness of these designs but misses the point and ends up being horrible without the sarcasm that makes it funny again.

On the Gameplay, I've already seen with Grim Fandango that the time was over for adventures. There's puzzle games that have better puzzles and other games that have actual mechanics (instead of randomly triggered video sequences). The animations are lovely, but in the end, point & click adventures aren't really games as we understand them today.

Since the first three games are released in a single game Deponia: The Complete Journey, I don't know if it makes sense to get Deponia, Chaos on Deponia, and Goodbye Deponia separately, unless you want +1 and trading cards.

I loved the series. At first I was hesitant because of the comments. But when I tried, I found out why many other people like it. I loved puzzles, graphics, voice acting. There are quite a lot of jokes. But, probably one of the most important things, this is one of the very few games where I actually cared about and followed the story. The main character, Rufus, does look selfish and, for some, might even seem annoying. But even at the end of the first game, you see that he is more complex than it seems at first. In the third game you learn more about why Rufus is the way he is.

Many people are disappointed with the ending, but, in my opinion, storywise, it is perfect. Besides, with time travel and timeloops in Deponia Doomsday, there are actually many endings, some of which are happier than the others.

Mixed. Some minor funny dialog but the main character is annoying. I guess they were going for “anti-hero” with him. The best parts were the interlude songs.

A gamebreaking bug made me delete my save. Faced with the prospect of restarting, I figured I'd rather let the series wither in my library than suffer through another minute of the unbearably obnoxious protagonist.
I get that he's supposed to be a bit of a loser, but at least *one* redeeming trait would be nice.

The game art is decent. However, many puzzles are just in a lack of logic. Moreover, there are no tips like other point-and-click puzzle games which makes the whole thing even harder. Typical visual camouflage to make up for the unsatisfying game-play experience.

游戏画风还行,谜题缺乏逻辑,还没有提示。基本上就是看画。打分的话,-

It started off promising enough, but then I ran into what is apparently a game-breaking bug just as the world was starting to open up. The disappointing part is that I see people posting about this bug (a puzzle involving magnets) dated 2012 and 2013. The fact that multiple sequels were made, yet this bug still exists, is honestly baffling.

This was fun. An excellent point & click adventure. A lot of humor. Good length. Some puzzles use the typical weird P&C logic. All dialogs are also spoken. Graphics are good. The interface works like expected, smooth without any bugs. This is not an easy straight forward game, it is better suited for the more experienced adventurers. Rufus (main character) may be an egotistical self-centered guy, but that didn't bother me one bit while playing. This game is everything I expect a good point & click adventure to be. I highly recommend it.

Game breaking bug a few hours into the game [spoiler]when trying to move the magnets on the detonation plan[/spoiler]. I would have to start from a new save and I am definitely not looking forward to redoing everything I have done. This appears to be a bug that was first noticed and reported in 2013 and still has yet to be fixed!

****WARNING*** After the first paragraph, there are a ton of spoilers. I'm not masking all of that, so read at your own discretion.

I bought this game because I loved Anna's Quest. This is a game that makes me wish there was a ''maybe'' option instead of just ''yes'' and ''no''. Then, we could explain why we made that choice. It's not a terrible game. I'm bad at puzzles and I found them doable, yet challenging. If you're a king/queen of puzzles and you want something hardcore, this will not be what you're looking for. This didn't matter to me. I was hoping for humour and a good story. The story could be there with some more work. Sadly, it is ruined by misogyny poorly veiled as humour and reinforcing the idea that being poor makes you a bad person/lesser than... I didn't laugh once, so you may want to ignore the ''comedy'' tag of this game. Below, I will detail the misogyny and the sexism found in this game. Be warned that it WILL contain spoilers.

You play as Rufus who is basically an idiot trying to get off his planet because it's essentially a huge pile of garbage (poverty). He wants to reach Elysium (seen as the rich city). Rufus' own father abandoned him by trying to get to Elysium. We do not know if he succeeded or if he died on the way. There is one major hint telling you that he succeeded, but you do not get a specific confirmation. Here, we have a poor father abandoning his own child for the prospect of riches. How flattering for those living in poverty. Rufus is looking to follow in his father's footsteps because he sees himself as being too good for this planet. He deserves to be on Elysium while having no clue what Elysium is like. Most people do not want to live in poverty. That is obvious. Still, it's possible to get out of poverty without being condescending to those who remain poor. Rufus makes non-stop comments about not belonging on Deponia because he's better than... He's faced with people who do not have any aspirations towards a better life. They want to have the best life possible on Deponia (in poverty) without putting much effort into it. It's understandable that Rufus wants to get out of poverty, but it could be done without the poverty-bashing aspect. Some people are also unable to imagine a better life, but they are not the majority. Why portray the majority of people living in poverty as lazy, unwilling to do anything to ''help themselves''? Even if it seems that most inhabitants of Deponia have a job/function, they are all incompetent, lazy, stupid... How charming.

Let's move on to the sexism and misogyny on which most of the ''jokes'' are based. Rufus finds a woman from Elysium. She is basically in a comatose state for most of the game. Her name is Goal. It's impossible to miss that one. We have no clue what her personality is like, yet, Rufus is dead set on making her his girlfriend and there are men from the town lining up at the town hall to be the one who gets to have Goal live with them once she wakes up. Goal is pretty, thin, well-dressed, young and of course, she can't speak back to you as she cannot even speak! Goal is the goal woman to have! Rufus wants to return her to Elysium and live there with her, happily ever after while the woman is still in a darn coma! How romant...freaky!

Goal has a fiancé back home, whose looks are very similar to those of Rufus. Her fiancé doesn't love her. She is a trophy (a goal) and he wants what she has on her memory cartridge. Oh, that's right. Goal is not a robot, but she has a memory chip that contains codes to enter Elysium and this chip can be tampered with or exchanged for a backup with altered memories. Don't like that she's upset with you because you messed up? Press her button. Eject that chip. Alter it and voila! She's forgotten that you're a douche and madly loves you once more. Goal! (in every sense of the word). Be pretty and don't have an opinion that differs from your man's way of thinking or that could upset him. There is an exchange between Rufus and Goal's fiancé where they talk about Rufus bringing her back to her fiancé. Rufus is asked what he wants in return. This is a clear transaction reminding us that women are things. The ones that are ''goal women'' can fetch more.

The other woman that we get to know quite a bit is Rufus' ex-girlfriend. He still lives with her. We start the game in her house and the place is filled with notes telling Rufus to clean, to do the groceries, etc. This makes her look like she's an extreme nag and this is the reason why Rufus loves Goal so much. She doesn't nag (she's not even conscious). We have a ton of misogynistic humour involving Rufus and his ex. She allows Rufus to live with her for free, but she is clearly an atrocious nag for asking him to do the dishes or to stop leaving food behind the couch cushions. Rufus has no job, by the way, so she pays for everything. She leaves notes. She's clearly a horrible woman! Not only that, but they made her petty. She loves watching Rufus' failed attempts at leaving the planet and loves watching him hurt himself. She's clearly a very hateful person who lets an ex that she can't stand live with her for free because he has nowhere else to go. An ex that doesn't do anything around the house. An ex that makes her seem crazy because she has very normal and regular requests. Oh, and they do make her seem insane. She has a guillotine-type of contraption to ensure that Rufus doesn't get into her room...in the house that she owns. In the house where Rufus is clearly taking advantage of her generosity. Not wanting to have your ex snoop around your room is clearly an ''insane'' request so let's boost the insanity by adding blades that would hurt Rufus should he try to get into her room. She's also clearly got to be a gold-digger. When one of the men in the community finds a natural resource that will make him rich, she's at his house pretty quickly! Oh, and let's not forget that this man was deemed as the person who should keep Goal for the time being since he's rich aka better than the poor people. This man locks an unconscious Goal in a closet while our ''gold-digging female'' is there taking a shower because having two women in the same room would be awkward. No worries! You can always store one of the women in the closet until she's needed again.

There is a lot more that could be said, but this is humour from 30-40 years ago when it was funny to hear about women being nags. When a woman was basically a thing that should look good and be quiet. They could have named Goal ''Trophy'' instead. It would have been the same thing. She's clearly meant to be a trophy wife who looks pretty, shares her man's opinions and stays fairly quiet. Independent women are crazy and naggy! They will end up alone. Rufus is a character that is very tough to like. Even if you're fine with all these sexist comments/situations, the attempts at jokes using this topic are dry. Some comedians can make a joke that isn't PC and you feel bad for it, but you want to laugh. Here, it's just annoying. I've played games where there have been sexist jokes. They were never a central theme, so I didn't complain about it. I wouldn't complain about their one homophobic attempt at a joke if the rest of the game was fine, but as you can already very likely guess, it's a gay joke around the colour pink. How edgy! Since I have the other Deponia games (they came in a bundle when I bought them if my memory is correct), I will play them to see if Daedalic redeems itself or if they found a way to dig the hole even deeper.

PS: Some of you will say ''Damn SJWs. Let us enjoy our games''. I get that. What I can say to you is that even if you're fine with sexism and such, if you were looking for a comedy, you will not find it here. You may think that my review is a comedy and that's fine. That's your opinion....but the game has stale jokes that haven't been funny for decades.

As a huge fan of click and point games (most of them from Daedalic Entertainment) I can only say that Deponia doesn't disappointment. It's a funny, crazy and tricky game with lots of puzzles that are absurdly amusing and entertaining but sometimes they are very long.
Pitifully, I have to take a point away that means -1 point due to some very long and slow dialogues. Believe me! I am a patient person for these kind of games but sometimes I had to skip them. In spite of that, our -1 point is reemplaced for +1 point extra only for the cut scenes and the music cause you enjoy and chill.
Holly molly, I almost forget it, I don't know if it's good or not so let's put +/- 1 point for the [spoiler] droggeljug [/spoiler] achievement cause OH MY GOD , my brain was going to explode for all the droggeljug that I've heard.
But it's worth it just for the end cause that final song with the droggeljug word through the whole song it's so funny.

Note: Yup, you'll need some extra help, you know what I'm talking dude (some guides) only If you want to have 100% achievements in the game (I'm a big fan of that to be honest ????).

I've already played one of Daedelic's other titles, Alcatraz, before I picked up a bundle with Deponia on it. I thought, surely, their flagship title that really made Daedelic famous would be something with more care put into it than that?

I overestimated Daedelic. Obtuse puzzle design I can be fine with, pixel hunting is manageable, clunky dialogue and odd character decisions I can gloss over easily. But the one thing I demand in any adventure game, above all else, is that they pass through some degree of quality assurance more than none at all.

The part of the game that got me to make this review was one where you're supposed to set up a blasting plan with magnets. The problem is that if you don't finish the plan and come back to it later, say, to reference another thing in the level that's supposed to be a hint for it, the game won't let you move the magnets. This is a *core* story progression puzzle, meaning it being uncompleteable makes the game uncompleteable. What's worse is this isn't an uncommon bug, meaning QA should have caught on to it. For an adventure game with a very specific path to follow, bugs like this are inexcusable and signal that the company doesn't care about it's products or the customer.

This isn't a review for Deponia itself as much as it's a review for all of Daedelic because, if Alcatraz and Deponia are anything to go by, total progression blocking bugs are standard for their adventure titles.

Deponia is mediocre at best. The characters are very unlikable, the writing is cringe, and the plot has too many holes. Have completed the game and I still don't get why Cletus and the Organon is obsessed with blowing up Deponia. The only praise I can give is to the art style and the soundtrack. Thank goodness I bought this for less than $1.

After 3 hours of play I encountered the same game breaking bug that a lot of other reviewers and forum posters have mentioned (the one with the magnets). I really don't feel like playing back through the game again and hoping it doesn't reoccur, and the fixes are either a lot more effort than they are worth or are downloading someone else's save (which means missing things or having to replay again). The game was fun up until then, but I can't recommend it when there's a decent chance you won't be able to get past the first few hours

Deponia is... frustrating but lovely game. I'd like to say it totally satisfying but... it's broken and beautiful the same time (like Goal).

Cons:
- Bugs (saveral Save files will help here)
- Volume level (you could try to fix in Visionaire Configuration Tool)
- Quest are unbeatable without Hints!
- Too violent towards kittens =(

Pros:
- Funny and well scripted story
- Good music
- Awesome cinematics
- Cool steam-punk world
- Goal' sexy walk

Conclusion: play it only if you wanna struggle!!! and you have plenty of time to read through guides.

I was really enjoying the game, until I encountered the game breaking magnet bug. I tried to fix it with a hex editor, but I'm either doing something wrong or it just isn't working. At this point my only option is to start over and hope that I don't encounter this or another game breaking bug. Sadly I can not recommend this game.

for me it was hard to figure out that I must use a plunger hidden in the bathroom door to open a locked closet and find a mouse trap for hunting my toothbrush, I supposed I must use something to put out the oven, then use hot water to clean the sink then my toothbrush may come back to the clean sink and I can hunt it! Finally I left the room and I can keep playing and may get used to these puzzles. I absolutely recommend every game that help you think more.

Deponia is the first instalment of the Deponia point-and-click series by Daedalic Entertainment.

The story and the world are interesting.
The art style, music and voice acting are great and fitting.
The characters are charming (and odd) and the dialogues are full of humor.
The puzzles are often not very logical. You have to think outside the box a lot!

This game is pretty meh overall. I mean it really wasn't good. The main character, while holding some redemption towards the end, most of the game I couldn't stand him and the stuff you had to do as him. The puzzles were pretty annoying as well for the most part, Not all of them but enough of them. If you hunt achievements you will almost certainly need to consult a guide for at least 1 or 2 of them, plus deal with a super annoying replay of the entire game just for 1.

There are better games for the money out there. 4/10

This is an exceptionally fun game with plenty of puzzles and dialog to keep you busy for hours. The animations are done well and the voice acting is superb.

I was really enjoying the game. The creators put a lot of love into it.

Unfortunately, there is at least one game breaking bug that stops your progression in its tracks, and in 8 years they have made almost no effort to fix it. The developer's website offers a savegame file that supposedly gets you past it. IT DOES NOT WORK. This is not the way to increase sales or maintain customers.

It has a great storyline, and I loved the main character. He's a dreamer and a schemer, an underdog who just can't catch a break (not that he deserves one). I truly wanted to see the game through and move on to other games in the series. But I refuse to support a developer who has so little regard for their customers.

The puzzles are pure nonsense to me. I mean, you have to catch your toothbrush with a mousetrap and a wasabi peanut! Yeah, makes real sense - and isn't funny, just mad. Thus finding the right solution rather depends on trial and error than skills in combination and logic. I don't like that. Puzzles need to have logic for me to enjoy them. If that's not important to you don't mind my review. It's definitely a well-made game with lots of love put into it, that's easy to see even after the short period of time I had with it.

I'm not even sure if I'm going to finish this game but I already am quite sure I won't be continuing this series. The art and voice acting is great, and honestly I don't even mind the moon logicish puzzles that much.

The characters however, especially the main character sucks. I can surely enjoy dickhead characters sometimes if they're funny and kinda charming but Rufus in neither. From what I've seen in reviews of the later games he doesn't get much better. He's an asshole to pretty much everyone and I'm sure there's points where he was supposed to be funny, but I never noticed.

I'm probably going to give daedalic games another chance but if they have the same humour and type of characters in all their games I'm not very hopeful.

I love classic point 'n' click adventure games. I liked the look of this game in the Steam store and it's certainly clear that a lot of talent and effort went into it - it has appealing cartoon graphics, cool sound design and is set in an interesting world. However, I stopped playing it after about 3 hours and I've no intention of going back.

Firstly, the main character (Rufus) is really off-putting. He's constantly rude to characters who are supposed to be his friends and neighbours and is particularly nasty towards his ex-girlfriend. It's possible to write rude characters in a way that's funny and charming but Rufus just comes off as unpleasant.

Secondly, some of the puzzles are of the moon-logic variety where you have to guess what cartoonish action the devs want you to perform. More than once I had to check a walkthrough and was disappointed / frustrated at what the solution turned out to be.

Thirdly and most damningly, there's a known bug which breaks one of the puzzles in an early part of the game and which the devs have never fixed, despite the game being released eight years ago:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/214340/discussions/2/1642045003589038624/

I ran afoul of the bug and realised I'd have to start the game again from the beginning. It probably wouldn't have taken me too long but, combined with the other issues mentioned above, I decided I wasn't having any fun playing this game and simply quit.

TL;DR: an unpleasant main character, some annoying puzzle design and 1 minor game-breaking bug made this game no fun to play. Can't recommend.

First of all I really recommend you to buy Deponia complete edition, especially if you consider buying first part on sales, cause it's often costs like one part of the game but contain three of them plus very usefull plan of what things you need to do.



What about game?



The game is pretty fun and authentic. BUT the character is really an asshole and that's the best part somehow. I'm really pity Toni.

Anyway the choice is yours.

The pros:


Interesting setting, awesome gameplay, good humor, cute girls (not much), cheap price especially on salles.

The cons:


Game contains bugs that nobody fixes for years and they can be really frustrating. (I recommend to save your game often)

After beign stuck for 3 hours, I decided to look at the Steam forums, and apparently there`s a nasty bug that can break the game.

There are 3 magnets that I SHOULD be able to move in a part of the game, but I can`t. Apparently, this bug happens to some people, it`s well known... and was never fixed.

Shame, but I won`t restart the game just to try it again.

The story is fun, I love how comedic it is, but I think the protagonist, Rufus, is a complete a-hole -- at least for the first half of the game. Sadly I got bored with the game, it's just not for me I guess. I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to pick this up again and finish the story

I have played Deponia and its sequels three times and I'm en route for a fourth play through. The story, writing, and characters are charming, though I suspect Rufus might be a little annoying for some folks (personally, he's my favourite type of horrible gremlin protagonist). The puzzles are ridiculous but if you have any experience in point and click adventures, than you know what you're in for. If not? Be prepared for some real kooky logic. And don't be afraid to check a walk-through.Aside from the dialogue and a surprisingly gut-wrenching story, I think one of Deponia's highlights is the atmosphere. Taking place on global junkyard (haha, relevant much?), there are some gorgeous, colourful but gritty backdrops, inventive reinterprations of common every day items, and music that sounds like it was inspired by rooting through the dumpster. I promise that's a good thing.Honestly, Deponia is my all time favourite game series and I say that as someone who didn't touch adventure games until some friends convinced me to try it. Much love to the team! <3

Nice game, puzzles, visual style, but then you encounter the immovable magnets bug, learn it exists for 7 years, find a workaround and continue playing, encounter the meditation bug, finish the game out of spite. Only playable with a walkthrough really, can't recommend it as it's impossible to tell if you're stuck due to a game bug.

The game is fun and the puzzles are nice. But there was a game breaking bug about a magnet puzzle, and I learned that the developers haven't fixed the bug for the last 7 years. I had to start the game from the beginning because of that. That's why I am posting a negative review. If you are going to play this game, make sure to use different save slots.

note: I played this on 'Deponia: the complete journey'

A timeless classic! A game that inhabits many players' libraries, without any playing time, except for the collector cards. This game is drawn beautifully, and works fluidly and intuitively. It's about Rufus, who has just about every worst trait of human character possible, and he lives on Deponia, a place literally made on and made of trash. He has aspirations to reach Elysium, compared to Deponia a mythical heaven. The only way is up right? Maybe on the way he can improve his ways? I'm not gonna spoil it, just play this game!
I do have a sidenote on Rufus... He came out of a relationship with Toni, a pretty hot girl, who cared and worked for him. She was also witty and funny, white Rufus was the embodiment of procrastination. Maybe to start him off as low as possible, and in a journey of self improvement letting him become 'good'. Follow your dreams, at all cost, maybe? I don't know, I haven't done the next games yet. But it is funny for sure!

Technicalwise this game is not easy, more for veteran p&c'ers. I'm not ashamed to confess I used a guide. DiY is noble, but will add severely to the playtime. Although every puzzle is somewhat logical in the world of p&c, there are situations where there are multiple quests active, and it's hard to funnel the appropriate items towards its goal, and it comes down to 'just try everything on anyplace'. Most screens don't have too many hotspots though. The game is fair.

[90/100]

Deponia is a point and click adventure game about Rufus, a reckless guy trying to escape from his home, the trash planet Deponia. His attempts to escape do little more than irritate the fellow denizens of his hometown until he crosses paths with Goal, a woman from Elysium, the wealthy city that floats in the sky above Deponia. From then on, he journeys to help return her, and hopefully himself, to Elysium.

The gameplay consists of puzzles, especially inventory object puzzles. For the most part, these are reasonably challenging. However, there are a few places where the answer to the puzzle didn't make sense or had a very strange rationale. There was also an issue with one puzzle where an item could only be used in the right place once, so if you figured out where the item needed to be before figuring out what to do with it the game would be broken, and you'd have to start from an earlier save (I assume this was a bug).

The story for the game is pretty engaging. Rufus's journey begins as a personal quest to get to Elysium and the high life, but once Goal enters the picture he has to work for the good of somebody else, albeit for reasons that are still largely selfish. The game has a lot of humor and doesn't take itself too seriously. The humor can at times be a little dark or mean-spirited, which doesn't bother me but could be unappealing for some players.

Rufus, the protagonist, is an unlikely hero. While he's creative, resourceful, and adventurous, he is also foolish, reckless, selfish, and lazy. Rufus is a misfit, focusing all of his energy on trying to leave Deponia instead of trying to support his existence in the way that his neighbors do. He's an irritating leech, but his desire to follow his father to Elysium is relateable. His motivations for helping Goal are pretty selfish, but by the end of the game he really does seem to care about her and Deponia, at least a little (although some of this may come down to dialogue choices). If he was meant to be an asshole with a heart of gold, the heart of gold part just isn't emphasized enough to really make him likeable (although, in this installment at least, I don't especially dislike him either).

Overall, Deponia is a pretty interesting adventure game and a solid beginning to a series. The gameplay, story, and humor are pretty solid for the most part, and the game's aesthetics are pretty nice. Unfortunately, Rufus just wasn't quite likeable enough to suit me, but in an otherwise good game it isn't a huge deal. 7/10

The game has some game breaking bugs that stop you from progressing and the official solution from devs is to use someone's save file. Excuse me? The bug is well known since at least 2013 as I've seen and they still haven't pached it. This is ridiculous. The fact that they have audacity to take any money for this game is trully unacceptable.

Complete waste of time. Encountered a game-breaking bug where objects I needed to drag across the screen wouldn't move - they couldn't even be clicked on. I looked this up and others had the same problem. Some have been able to get past this by using software to edit their files, but it hasn't worked for everybody. I'm not going to bother, I wasn't enjoying the game much anyway. Every adventure gamer knows that it's terrible for the game to put the player in a complete dead-end when it's not their fault, that's the bad kind of adventure game. One to avoid, this. Broken even after several years since release, and the humour is dismally uninspired.

To sum up my feelings for this game in one sentence: Story-wise, this might just be my favourite game.

Regarding its gameplay, it has all the usual mechanics of point-and-click adventures and all the benefits and struggles that come with that; there might be times in which you feel like you have tried every possible solution to the problem you currently face and some of the minigames can feel counter-intuitive.
But in this game, at least you always have the option to skip these and I, personally, did not face a lot of situations in which I felt stuck.
On the contrary, I never felt clueless for too long, while some of the puzzles were still quite challenging.

However, where Deponia really shines is its worldbuilding and story. The setting might come off as a typical post-apocalyptic barren wasteland, but has a lot more charm to it, while the characters are memorable and unique. The story addresses so many different topics like escaping your fate, feeling left out, but also individualism and love. Yet at the same time, this is a mostly bright, happy game that is more focused on making you laugh than giving you heavy thoughts. But still, it does not fail to make you think about it.

There is only one thing that I have to point out that is simply a shame: There is a game-breaking bug that even after all these years has not been fixed. Luckily, the bug is well documented and there are enough guides (here on steam) that can help resolve any issues resulting from it. Moreover, the developers have also published save files that can be used to get past the bug. Of course, something like this still should not happen or at least be fixed later on.

Despite that last point I talked about, I still heavily recommend this game; the art and soundtrack are beautiful, the puzzles are engaging and the story and characters are outstanding.

I got 2 hours of game play before the bug with the detonation magnets broke the game. Please be warned that it does end the game unless you are confident in hacking around it.

The game is a typical point and click with some good graphics. The dialogue is a bit long, thank goodness you can skip it. The 'soundtrack' is none existence. Instead you get a annoying background sound that is a short recording so the repetition gets to you after a while.
Having said that I would have been happy to keep playing, but with the bug that seems to have been in existence since 2013 at least, it is impossible. Shame, with a few tweaks, this could have been a decent game.

The game is very good, funny, and entertaining. It has a few bugs in it that make it impossible to continue (I found a couple: I had to use a save file from the developers because the magnets got stuck in the map, and had to skip the pigeons minigame). But these two bugs are a little drop in a vast sea of fun (and can be avoided if you know what to do from the beginning in those two minigames). It is indeed a good legacy for the old SCUMM™ games.

Just as I started to get drawn into Deponia's setting, and cast of charming characters; I encountered a game breaking, progress stalling bug. It didn't take long to discover that dozens and dozens of other players have reported this same bug, going back SEVEN years. There is no direct fix, and likely never will be. I cannot recommend this game or supporting a developer who doesn't support their own products.

So first of all you are gonna to use solution cause this game makes no fucking sense. You play as Rufus an typical loser. How many chromosomes does Rufus have? More than you idiot. You the player will help Rufus in succeding in his epic quest to nut in the girl that fell from the sky. Compleating this game requires 8 hours of free time, high tolerance for german humor, and at least average googling skills.

In my ongoing and likely futile effort to write a Steam review for every game in my library (#94 out of 558)... it's time for Deponia.

Deponia is for fans of point-and-click adventure game fans who adore the genre, don't think there are any major flaws with the usual formula, and have spent several decades wondering why, exactly, the genre lost its popularity in the mid-1990s.

I'm being snarky. I apologize. What I mean to say is simply this: Deponia is an old-school point-and-click adventure games that embraces both the best and worst aspects of the genre. The story takes you from one imaginative locale to another, and drenches every NPC interaction with so much attempted humor that the narrative lacks any semblance of emotional depth or compelling stakes. It's like a saturday morning cartoon where every time you think you might be absorbed in the action, everything grinds to a halt as the mascot character turns to the camera, cracks a smile, and delivers a profoundly lame joke with incredible confidence. That's Deponia, in a nutshell.

So if you're a fan of the genre know what to expect: lots and lots of puzzles, backtracking, and snarky hit-or-miss humor. Personally I found much of the writing to be embarassing to listen to--but it is fully voice acted, and the voice acting is pretty solid, which I suppose has to count in Deponia's favor. Many of the puzzles also seemed (surprisingly) intuitive, and while I can't exactly say I never had to consult a guide to progress, I didn't have to keep one constantly handy, which is a pleasant departure from the usual method of play for these games.

All-in-all this is a very tepid endorsement. The Deponia games are serviceable adventure games with very solid production values and puzzle design, but with very spotty writing. They're not for everyone, but if you managed to even find this review, I suppose there's a very good chance that they might be for you.

Ended up stuck and couldn't move the magnets at the detonation point. Looks like many players have had the same issue. I wish I would have known this before purchasing. Sad because I had planned to buy the entire rest of the series today. It seems it has been a reported bug since 2013 and nothing has been done.

Summary:
+ lovely art-style
+ funny characters
+ semi-short game

- game breaking bugs (had to restart two levels due to not getting the solution correct the first time and not being able to retry a secondary solution)
- puzzles that require you to redo certain steps just to get different results/necessary puzzle pieces
- borderline idiotic puzzle combinations in some cases. Pure logic will not suffice.

Full review:
I would rate this game a 2/5 as it has a lovely art-style and funny characters but as a story-driven puzzle-game it surely fails. The story itself is neither interesting nor twisty and the puzzles are sometimes illogical, where you will have to simply try out all available options to get the necessary result. Since this is a point-and-click adventure with multiple screens per level and the possibility to combine different pieces in your inventory, this gets tedious quickly (at least it did for me). Add game-breaking bugs where some puzzles may lock after a false try (which is clearly not intended as there are multiple achievements for getting it right the first time) and no auto-save function, which means you will have to restart the game/level from your last manual save (worst case: having to start a new game and play through it again, since there are no level select options either).

Conclusion:
The game as a whole is rather unenjoyable and I would recommend you either get it for a dollar or two or do not get it at all.

This is going to be a very unorthodox review - if you are still deciding on whether to buy this game or not, consider if the following things will really turn you off:

- a megalomaniac narcissistic protagonist, with an even worse sense of humour than the cut scene barbershop choir dudes
- a hero's journey that is not quite in the player's hands to decide which decisions to make, what bastardness to discard, and what morality to redeem
- puzzle solving that might make a lot of sense to adventure game players, but completely alien to other RPG approaches (items/skills are not meant to be reused, but are discovered for each location to be used in that ONE puzzle it is designed for)

If you can swallow at least 2 our of those 3 negatives, then Deponia will be fine...actually, no. You might end up Googling a walkthrough like I did, but at least you will be rewarded with a pleasingly enchanting junk-scape, fantastic soundtracks, good voice acting, a story fished fresh out of a gutter, and a deplorable male protag that you want to see through to the end.

Told you it's unorthodox
