** BiggerBad: [[spoiler:[[Characters/DeusEx Bob Page]] on the MJ12 side, who has a role of OffScreenVillainy this time around.]]

* BigBad / TheMan: [[spoiler:Number One.]]
** BiggerBad: [[spoiler:[[Characters/DeusEx Bob Page]], who has a role of OffScreenVillainy this time around.]]

* MegaCorp: Page Industries, which owns [=VersaLife=]. Yumashev Industries could count for this, but it's appears to be only focused on manufacturing and is [[spoiler:really just a pawn in XVA Corporation's plan to obtain [=MJ12=] nanotech. XVA Corporation plays this trope straight, except their intentions aren't nefarious and they oppose [=MJ12=].]]

* OffScreenVillainy: [[spoiler:Bob Page and Walton Simons, who are the heads of Majestic 12. Another of their lead operatives, Number One, serves as the game's BigBad.]]

** Also, the cops in Queens later in the game have sold out to the local Zyme Gang. Apparently, this is public knowledge and the people are fed up with it. One such citizen remarks that it would be better if [[{{Irony}} the United Nations took up

* ConspiracyTheorist: Yakedo isn't really one, but he is the first to suggest that [[spoiler:the Chinese government might behind the attack]]. He's actually wrong. The attack was done by [[spoiler:XVA Corporation]] so that they could [[spoiler:get their hands on MJ12's nano-augmentation tech.]]

* [[spoiler:FalseFlagOperation]]: What the terrorist attack in Shenzhen turns out to be, [[spoiler:by the XVA Corporation so that they could lure Mad Ingram out to Hong Kong after learning that Majestic 12 was planning a false flag op to [[VideoGame/DeusEx blow up the Statue of Liberty]]. However, this is a subversion because the building they blew up was controlled by the Chinese government, which by this time has been corrupted by MJ12.]]

* FilmNoir: Being cyberpunk, the game is primarily set in a dark cities at night, and involves a cop (albeit a "world cop" UNATCO agent) investigating a crime.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:David Yoon]]. Not so much a boss, but a puzzle. You have to deactivate the 4 security tiers of his penthouse in order to [[spoiler:bring him into custody]]. After that, it appears the plot is all wrapped up and Ingram is ready to leave back for New York, but [[spoiler:he is captured by ANT/INTRA and flown to Berlin, where the plot continues.]]

** ConspiracyKitchenSink: [[spoiler:All the good stuff from the first game - Majestic 12, TheGreys, United Nations, etc.]]

* PlotTwist: [[spoiler:While it may have been easy to guess that the game wouldn't be over right as Ingram is leaving back for New York, what is surprising is that the player is captured and put on an airplane headed for ''Berlin'', which is quite the change from the Hong Kong setting. Once "ACT II" of the game starts, the story becomes a globetrotting adventure as Ingram goes to Europe and even to back to America.]]

* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:Bob Page, the primary villain from the original game. He serves as an off-screen BiggerBad in this story.]]

* FirstPersonShooter: Even the developer views the mod as more of this than an FPS/RPG hybrid like ''Deus Ex''. It still has RPGElements, but more of the gameplay is spent on stealth/combat sequences, even though there is a fair amount of exploration (particularly at the beginning of the game in Kowloon.

''Deus Ex: Nihilum'' is a [[http://www.moddb.com/mods/nihilum/ 2013 total conversion mod]] for ''VideoGame/DeusEx''. Set in an AlternateUniverse of ''Deus Ex'' in the year 2049, it follows the first nano-augmented UNATCO agent Mad Ingram as he heads to Hong Kong in order to solve the mystery of a terrorist attack committed in Shenzhen, and stumbles upon a [[{{TheConspiracy}} conspiracy]] in the process. It won the [[http://www.moddb.com/mods/nihilum/features/mod-of-the-year-2013-editor-choice 2013 Single Player Mod of the Year award]] and is considered to be one of the best ''DeusEx'' mods, up there with ''VideoGame/TheNamelessMod''.

* CyberPunk: Just like the original ''VideoGame/DeusEx'', it's set in a [[{{Dystopia}} dystopian]] future with noir overtones.

** The Chef has a hunch that keeping some Ambrosia around will be beneficial in the [[{{Foreshadowing}} near]] [[VideoGame/DeusEx future]].

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The story takes place in the year 2049.

!!This game provides example of:

* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: Implied to be Bob Page, the primary villain from the original game.]]

* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:David Yoon]]. Not so much a boss, but a puzzle. You have to deactivate the 4 security tiers of his penthouse in order to [[spoiler:bring him into custody]]. After that, it appears the plot is all wrapped up and Ingram is ready to leave back for New York, but [[spoiler:he is captured by ANT/INTRA and flown to Berlin, where the plot continues. Also, Yoon wasn't behind the conspiracy.]]

* CyberPunkIsTechno: The Forichi Club, just like the Lucky Money in the original game, plays techno music in the style of "retro-2020s", just like its architecture. The whole club is an homage to the aesthetic of ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution''.

* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction: UNATCO, of course, and the MPS.

* FilmNoir: Being cyberpunk, the game is primarily set in a dark city at night, and involves a cop (albeit a "world cop" UNATCO agent) investigating a crime.
