History VideoGame / DeadfallAdventures

* AncientEgypt: The first chapter, along with BuildLikeAnEgyptian.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Colonel Stein, the Soviet Colonel, and [[spoiler: Dr. Hagen]] can all take several times the number of bullets as normal Mooks, although they can all still be mowed down relatively quickly.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: shootable targets in puzzles, or to trigger traps, are shiny gold. The three types of treasure are also differentiated by colour.
* CrateExpectations: Well, there ''are'' several large-scale archaeological expeditions going on.

* DurableDeathtrap: Everywhere. Can be used against enemies, though.

* ExplodingBarrels: Once again, enemies can often be found loitering near these.

* HandWave: In-universe, what Quatermain offers Jenny when she asks how his {{Phlebotinum}}-powered flashlight works.

* LightAndMirrorsPuzzle: Several of them.

* MacguffinDeliveryService: Quatermain ends up being this to [[spoiler:Hagen]].

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Quartermain in the beginning is more concerned with making money and collecting treasures. But then CharacterDevelopment kicks in.

* PlotCoupon: The Tear of Isis.
* PressurePlate: All over the place, in puzzles and traps.

* RuggedScar: The Russian colonel.

* TempleOfDoom: Much of the game takes place in a sandy one, an icy one and a jungle one.

* TwoFistedTales: A very deliberate homage to the genre.

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** The game takes place in 1938 yet, the P38 pistol was not produced until 1939 and the Wermarcht's R75 motorcycle wasnt produced until 1941, still both of these can be found ingame. The Bergmann Bayard 1902 Mars pistol never had a fully automatic function. The Nazi faction can be found using Russian and even American weapons, and the Russians can be found using German and American weapons.
** Quartermain learns in the Arctic that the third fragment of the Heart is in South America, so he and Goodwin head for Guatemala. Guatemala is in ''Central'' America.

The game combines modern first-person shooter combat with puzzle solving and treasure hunting. ''Deadfall Adventures'' is basically Two-Fist Tales: The Game, with elements reminiscent of ''Franchise/IndianaJones'', ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'', and a bit of ''VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}}''.

* RareGuns: The game has a rather unique arsenal. Such firearms includes the Roth-Steyr M1908, the Bergmann-Bayard M1903 pistols, the Mauser Selbstlader M1916 and the Fedorov Avtomat rifles. There's also the Walther Model SLD, which are double barrel flare guns, but they're depicted as shotgun pistols.

** GameplayAllyImmortality: Your allies seem to be unkillable, even a direct hit from a grenade will just knock them down for a few seconds. This is balanced out by the fact that they tend to hang back and camp the entrance instead of charging into the middle of a firefight.

* CriticalResearchFailure: The game takes place in 1938 yet, the P38 pistol was not produced until 1939 and the Wermarcht's R75 motorcycle wasnt produced until 1941, still both of these can be found ingame. The Bergmann Bayard 1902 Mars pistol never had a fully automatic function.

* DeathFromAbove: A couple of bosses attack with what amounts to a massive, flaming airstrike targeted on the player's current position - attacks that are thankfully presaged by the appearance of a [[OhCrap huge, glowing rosette on the ground]].

''Deadfall Adventures'' is a 3D FirstPersonShooter action-adventure by Polish developer The Farm 51 and published by Nordic Games in 2013, for PC and Xbox 360. The game is set just before WorldWarII and follows James Lee Quatermain, great-grandson of Allan Quatermain (the hunter/adventurer created by [[Creator/HRiderHaggard H. Rider Haggard]]), who has been hired to seek out the [[AncientArtifact "Heart of Atlantis"]], alongside US agent and former colleague Jennifer Goodwin, before the Nazis/Russians do.

The game combines modern first-person shooter combat with puzzle solving and treasure hunting. ''Deadfall Adventures'' is basically Two-Fist Tales: The Game, with elements reminiscent of ''IndianaJones'', ''TheMummy'', and a bit of ''Wolfenstein''.

* ShoutOut: When placing the Tear of Isis in its receptacle, Quatermain muses wryly: [[Franchise/IndianaJones "It belongs in a museum"]], followed by a wish to see the proceeds in his bank account.

* MeleeATrois: Mummies and enemy soldiers will fight each other as well as against Quatermain, although other than the first level the two are rarely encountered in the same area.
