If you liked and miss Decent, check out Overload on Steam. It’s great.
The resemblance is immediately obvious. Didn’t know this existed. Thanks.
It’s made by the original Descent devs and it genuinely slaps :)
Already bought it. It’s the Descent IV we never got 20 years ago. Dang, been a while since I thought of the dev drama surrounding these games.
Man I friggin loved Descent II. Game was so fun and immersive. I watched that opening cinematic over and over. The soundtrack was fantastic as well.
I later went and played Descent 1 as well but 2 was the one I played the most.
2 also has the thief bot which while infuriating also lead to some of the most memorable gameplay for me. Just chasing that little piece of shit to the ends of the earth and then feeling so triumphant when I finally nabbed it and got my stuff back.
Played the hell out of 1, 2, and 3, along with Freespace. Planetdescent was my home for years. Shakerheads unite!
Nausea has never been as fun as it was back then.
FYI, there’s a modern Descent-like game called Overload.
It has VR support.
