I played The Fall a few months back on iOS (and finished on PC,
because touchscreen controls suck). It generally got poor reviews -
especially the PC version, as it was an unenhanced port of the mobile
versions - but I sort of liked it. It's very much "DeusEx-lite"; it
feels a lot like an introductory adventure to bring new gamers into
the DeusEx universe, and in this it succeeds fairly well. The complex
conspiracies and multiple-paths-for-every-encounter of the main games
can be a bit overbearing to new users. There is conspiracy and
optional paths in The Fallen but in general the game is a more
streamlined action title; just the thing to show off what the main
games are really about. 

If The Fall has one major fault it was its ending... or the lack of
one. It is basically a three-act story that ends after the first act.
The game is too short and lacks any climax. I believe the original
goal was to continue the story with DLC/in-app purchases but, alas,
that never happened...
