If you don’t know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here’s our trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:

v3.0 Trailer

Here’s a trailer for WaltonWare mode. WaltonWare mode is focused on quick wins by completing a single bingo line, and increasing difficulty after every win. The bingo goals are all scaled to their minimum settings and you start in a random area. All bingo goals will be completable within just a few maps!

WaltonWare Trailer

Here’s a trailer for our new Mirrored Maps feature in v2.5. Play through the game with a random mix of mirrored maps, which will keep you on your toes even more than the randomizer has before!

v2.5 Mirrored Maps Trailer

(The change log since v3.0 was too much for Lemmy’s character limit, so check the comments!)
