Deadfall Adventures Race the Nazis to Atlantis

Beyond the single-player hunt, Deadfall Adventures has multiplayer built around its adventurer theme, with unique modes and features of its own. You get the same 1930s arsenal and exotic arenas as the story, so matches feel like extensions of the chase rather than a bolted-on extra. It suits a casual session: join a lobby, coordinate a plan, jump into a round. If your evenings are about playing together rather than climbing ranks, this is the part of the game built for that.

Temples guard their secrets, and the game makes you work for them. You carry an adventurer's kit: a compass, treasure maps, a notebook and a flashlight, and the puzzles lean on all of it. Some clues hide in the environment itself, so looking up at a ceiling can be as useful as checking the walls. The temple architecture has its own logic, and the traps do too: trigger one at the right moment and it clears a room of enemies for you, in ways the game clearly enjoys.

The shooting is fast and accurate, with a surprisingly varied 1930s arsenal: Thompsons and MP38s alongside rarer pieces like Fedorov rifles and dual Webley revolvers. Bullets matter on both sides, so charging in like an action hero gets you killed. The real twist is the undead: some guardians of the temples shrug off lead until you burn the darkness off them with your flashlight beam, then finish the job.

It is 1938, and James Lee Quatermain, great-grandson of the legendary Allan, is broke, cynical and convinced his great-grandfather's supernatural tales are nonsense. Then a US agent asks him to escort her to an Egyptian temple holding the Heart of Atlantis, and the Ahnenerbe, the Nazi occult division, wants it too. The hunt runs from stormy deserts to the icy Arctic to steaming Guatemalan jungles, staged with a cinematic, movie-serial sense of pace. The plot is knowingly cheesy, the dialogue occasionally funny, and the whole thing is dotted with nods to the adventure films and books that inspired it.
