Deus Ex (abbreviated DX and /ˌdeɪ.əs ˈɛks/ DAY-əs EKS) is a cyberpunk-themed action role-playing game developed by Ion Storm Inc. and published by Eidos Interactive in 2000, which combines gameplay elements of first-person shooters and stealth games with those of role-playing video games. The game received universal critical and industry acclaim, including being named "Best PC Game of All Time" in PC Gamer's Top 100 PC Games and in a poll carried out by UK gaming magazine PC Zone. It was a frequent candidate for and winner of Game of the Year awards, drawing praise for its pioneering designs in player choice and multiple narrative paths. It has sold more than 1 million copies, as of April 23, 2009.
Set in a dystopian world during the year 2052, the central plot follows rookie United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition agent JC Denton, as he sets out to combat terrorist forces, which have become increasingly prevalent in a world slipping ever further into chaos. As the plot unfolds, Denton becomes entangled in a deep and ancient conspiracy, encountering organizations such as Majestic 12, the Illuminati, and the Hong Kong Triads throughout his journey.
The action takes place in the year 2052 as the world confronts the threat of a terrible disease, economic collapse and global terrorism. JC Denton is a highly-rained, nano-technology enhanced counter-terrorist who is sworn to protect the government. But as he unravels one conspiracy after another, he must decide between continuing to serve the government or overthrow it.

As kings and queens change places
The castles rise and fall
They call it civilization
But it isn’t that at all
It’s Chaos - Chaos: they call civilization
Chaos - Chaos: they call civilization
Behind the window
Of a tenement block
So many good people
But what have they got?
Chaos - Chaos: they call civilization
This chaos - chaos: they call civilization
Do we have a chance? NO!
To realise potential? NO!
Do they have freedom? NO!
To be what we wanna be
Oh no
The poets write history
The armies destroy
Panic and slaughter
And it doesn’t make sense
