This is exemplified, for example, by his ill-treatment of his ex-girlfriend Toni and his lack of any genuine concern for the injured Goal. As a character, Rufus comes across as a jerk throughout most of the game.
It is clear from the story that he does not, though some players may see this differently. Indeed, Rufus seems to be the only person who wants to escape, feeling that he deserves better. Despite their existence in a giant garbage heap, most of the citizens of Deponia seem content and not envious of their Elysium superiors. All of them are routinely milked for chuckles, though there is the occasional strain of dark humor. Probably the weakest aspect of the game is the development of the characters, who are very eccentric and seemingly insane. Several of the transitions are accompanied by hilarious songs performed by a lyrically challenged minstrel. The music is also quite eclectic and nice, complementing the mood of the game perfectly. The level of detail is impressive, encouraging the player to take on a slower pace to explore the world in order to fully appreciate its ambiance. The production is just as slick as any animated film, much brighter and colorful than is expected from a steampunk themed game. The world of Deponia is visually interesting, with lots of ruined machinery, odd creatures, and bizarre gadgets. However, her cybernetic enhanced memory is damaged, so it is up to the cocky and self-centered Rufus to save Deponia-or at least himself.
Happily for Deponia, a beautiful girl from there named Goal strongly objects to the plan and manages to escape down to the planet. Sadly, the leaders of the party sent out from Elysium are dishonest to the extreme and plan to wipe out the unsavory planet regardless of the Deponians who will be killed in the process. They decide to send out a scouting party to check for signs of humans still living there, and if none is found, they plan to destroy it. Unfortunately for Deponia, the citizens of Eylsium are so far out of touch that they are unsure if the world of Deponia is even inhabited. Deponia is the exact opposite of the off world of Elysium, whose citizens lead lives of wealth and privilege. The game is set in a junk world named Deponia, home to a cheerful but dirty population of scavengers and ne’er-do-wells like Rufus, the player's character. With a classic animation art style similar to the earlier games of the Broken Sword series, Deponia is a great adventure game sure to please any fans of the genre, particularly those who enjoy great artwork and music. Having already established a reputation for slick production values and fun characters, Daedalic Entertainment has reached new heights with Deponia, a sprawling steampunk adventure set in a lightly humorous universe inspired by the likes of Terry Gilliam and Douglas Adams. Deponia is a point-and-click adventure game from Daedalic Entertainment, the German developer whose previous games include The Whispered World, A New Beginning, and Edna & Harvey: The Breakout.
