Descent 3

Descent 3 is an excellent first person shooter that I haven't played in years. When I saw it on steam I was very glad they got this version to work and it is still one of my favorites next to the first one. Despite the hard controls, this game is worthy of buying if you have played the first two or like a real controlling challenge. If you can master this, the rest of the first person shooters will look like a cakewalk control wise. One word of advice. Don't use the mouse, and better start learning the old art of using just the keyboard and the numberpad. Good luck to those buying and have fun. lol

I'm so surprised that this game got a new Linux version.

I bought this game because of nostalgia. It runs surprisingly well, once you spend some time configuring it. I'm one of the few lucky people able to run it without issues or glitches. Weapons variety is good, but graphically-wise, it didn't age well at all and it doesn't support widescreen. Steam integration is not supported either. Your playtime only increases when the launcher is open. Once you press Play, you don't appear in-game anymore. Still, I do enjoy playing it. I would appreciate a remake by Nightdive Studios, they did a good job with Turok 2.

An excellent game which in my opinion did not get the attention it deserved. This game is one of the best games of it's time, published in 1999. Style is first person shooter against enemy robots with a story-line to follow.

Great game. for anyone have an error at the begining and then it crashes, in order for this game to work you must put it in you main hard drive

Mouse and Keyboard does not function together in descent 1 and 2 . Can’t change back And descent 3 link to DIRECTX is old. programm won't start

Love this game! I played it almost 2 decades ago when it was new, and started again recently when I saw they released a Linux version out of the blue. Runs great, and the gameplay still holds up to be quite fun. :D

The latest update for Linux means that the game works very well, though a few tweaks are required for general gameplay (as others have observed). I had to disable the joystick option as it seemed to cause some strange keyboard drift when activated. The mouse sensitivity was way too low as well, so I adjusted that to 2.0. Finally, the game supports my 16:10 screen just fine so no command-line settings required. Highly recommended for old-school gamers!
