The best Deus Ex sequel is a 2009 fan-mod set in a living forum where you attack enemies with sporks and foons, and no I am not joking
A seven-year fan-made mod for Deus Ex has gained attention for its unconventional approach to continuing the series. Set within the community of an in-universe Deus Ex forum where the moderator has been kidnapped, the mod features eccentric factions including goat and llama worshippers. The gameplay employs humorous weaponry such as sporks and foons, with dialogue peppered with absurdist phrases like “What the radish?”
What distinguishes this 2009 project is its use of voice acting entirely sourced from the real Deus Ex forum community. The mod developers recruited actual forum members to play themselves as characters, using their personal microphones—a choice that resulted in authentic mid-2000s audio quality throughout production. This grassroots approach gives the mod distinctive charm and community-driven authenticity.
The mod’s quirky nature and ambitious scope have made it stand out among fan-made game projects. Despite unconventional humor and crude audio production values, the project has been characterized as potentially “the best Deus Ex sequel,” suggesting its creative vision and community participation have resonated with fans seeking a unique spin on the beloved series. The project represents a distinctive example of fan creativity and community engagement within retro game culture.
