Receiving almost universally positive reviews from critics and general industry acclaim, the game was a frequent candidate for, and winner of Game of the Year awards.

Set in a dystopian world during the 2050s, the main storyline follows rookie \"United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition\" (UNATCO) agent JC Denton as he sets out to combat terrorist forces which have become increasingly prevalent in a world slipping ever closer to chaos. As the plot unfolds, he becomes increasingly immersed in a deep and ancient conspiracy, encountering fictional versions of groups such as Majestic 12, the Illuminati, and Hong Kong Triad gangs along the way. Ultimately, Denton comes to discover the truth about this conspiracy, and its ultimate goal of world domination.

The game was quite successful commercially and remains among the top selling computer role-playing games. As of May 17, 2006, Deus Ex was #19 in top selling Mac RPGs at Amazon.com. First published for personal computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system, Deus Ex was later ported to the Macintosh OS, as well the PlayStation 2 game console. Loki Games worked on a Linux version but the company went out of business before releasing it.

A sequel to Deus Ex, titled Deus Ex: Invisible War, was released in December 2003 for both Windows, and the Xbox video game console. A second sequel, titled Deus Ex: Clan Wars was originally conceived as a multiplayer-focused third game for the series. After the commercial performance of Deus Ex: Invisible War failed to meet expectations however, the decision was made to set the game in its own universe, and it was eventually published under the title Project: Snowblind.

Gameplay

Built on a modified Unreal Engine, Deus Ex combines two mainstream game genres, the first-person shooter and the role-playing game. It features a non-linear plot with multiple endings, a story that reacts to the actions of the player, and emphasizes tactical combat. The player takes on the role of protagonist JC Denton, a nanotech-enhanced operative for the \"United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition\" (UNATCO). These nanotech enhancements serve as the explanation for some of the main role-playing-like elements of the game.

Deus Ex was originally conceived as a single-player only game, and the original PC and Macintosh versions of Deus Ex did not include multiplayer functionality. Support for multiplayer modes was included with subsequent patches however, and it is now included with all new copies of the game. Servers are provided for three game modes: advanced team deathmatch, basic team deathmatch, and deathmatch. Only five maps, based on levels from the single-player portion of the game, were included with the original multiplayer patch, but many user-created maps have been made. The PlayStation 2 version does not offer a multiplayer mode.
