This is a mod for the original Deus Ex that takes everything and shuffles it all around to make it like a new game every time but with the same great story. The goal is to increase the replayability and strategy. There is logic in place to ensure the game is always beatable. If you're stuck, try to formulate a new strategy, explore more, or go back to an earlier save if you need to.
Our installer also properly configures compatibility and performance fixes like DXVK, Kentie's Launcher, D3D10 and other renderers, Engine.dll, config tweaks, and more to allow high frame rates and resolutions on modern computers, all done automatically for you.
We also offer Vanilla Fixer: This one is for the purists. Use our installer program and it will do all of our compatibility fixes for the vanilla game. Then just run DeusEx.exe as normal and the gameplay will be unchanged but with high frame rates and resolutions!
Compatible with vanilla Deus Ex, GOTY, Lay D Denton, GMDX, Revision, HX co-op, and Vanilla? Madder.
- Normal Randomizer: Randomizes the costs and strengths of skills, and the strengths of augmentations. Shuffles locations of items/datacubes/nanokeys/crates/enemies. Randomizes passwords. Also randomizes which maps medical bots and repair bots are in, and much more!
- Full Randomizer: The next step after completing Normal Randomizer. Also adds randomized goal locations and start locations, randomized auto turrets, and more randomization in general.
- Zero Rando: Great for first-time Deus Ex players and veterans alike. Benefit from our bug fixes and optional QoL improvements, without any randomization.
- Zero Rando Plus: Same as Zero Rando, but also enables our balance changes.
- See the Rando ➜ Gameplay menu for more customization of balance changes and QoL features.
- WaltonWare: A quick option to get into the game without the time commitment of the full game. You start in a random mission and win by completing one bingo line. All bingo goals will be completable within just a few maps. As New Game+ keeps making it harder, see how fast you can complete them or how many you can complete! Also check out the full game variant of this: Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine.
- Various Halloween modes that add survival horror mechanics, such as zombies, limited saves, and an invincible stalker!
- See the (Wiki page) for a full list of our game modes.
If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:

If you're experiencing objects warping and drawing on top of each other incorrectly when using the D3D10 renderer, you need to install the 2010 x86 Visual C++ Redistributable package, which you can get from Microsoft here. Alternatively, you can use the D3D9 or OpenGL renderer (and check the Rando ➜ Visuals menu for Brightness Boost).
