Prepare for a sensory overload with Descent, a groundbreaking 3D action game that plunges you into intense, mind-bending combat. Set in the year 2017, you are the Material Defender, tasked with investigating a complete loss of contact with Lunar Base I.
The Post-Terran Mining Company's miners and robots have gone silent, and it's up to you to uncover the threat and find any survivors.
Descent offers a truly immersive experience with its true 3-dimensional worlds, featuring advanced (for its time) light source shading, texture mapping, and 3D morphing. Directional sound effects and a sizzling soundtrack further enhance the atmosphere, pushing technological limits.
Your mission will take you across the solar system, from the Moon to Pluto, as you battle rogue robots and uncover the mystery behind the disaster.
