Great game, especially for fand of the Descent series.
Butterweiches Gleiten durch Stollen und Strukturen - Ferne Erinnerungen an Descent 1+ kommen zurück. Macht (mir) einfach immer noch Spass ;-)

Достойнейший наследник великой трилогии Descent - и, к сожалению, пока единственный в своём роде. Настоящий «анал0г0внет», так скажем. Игра представляет собой тот самый классический аркадный 6DOF-шутер в невесомости, которого нам так не хватало. Отдельно радует наличие шикарного встроенного редактора карт. Из грустного, так это онлайн, совсем-совсем крошечный. Мне удалось найти буквально пару лобби где сидели 2-3 человека, ру комьюнити как я понял нет совсем. К сожалению, пипл нынче ценит только гачи и мобы дро4ильни
No local co-op.
If you want Descent 2 (basically) then it's good. Side note on the VR side is that it only supports Vive and Rift on windows. Should be I think somewhere in the requirements that specifies you can't play it in VR on Linux. I'll keep it and probably play it because Descent.. but I did only buy it in the first place because it says VR supported and has Linux requirements tab.
This is a massive upgrade over old school Descent. The guidebot is now always available via the press of a button. Though I ended up not using it too much because you'll miss a ton of secrets. Motion is very smooth and there are a ton of weapons, though personally I picked a handful that covered most situations and used them almost exclusively. If I had to complain about one thing, most of the secrets are just behind panels that look almost identical to every other panel and their only real give away is boxes on the map just big enough for your ship. As a result, I probably spent most of the time pouring over the map, watching for them. I would have preferred to spent that time actually flying and shooting. Though on the positive side, the map is really good. Holographic, like the new Doom games, but they have to include walls because of 6DOF. Overall, they've extracted the best part of the old Descent games. It's a solid shooter/flight sim if your stomach and brain can handle it.
Good game! Recommended for all who like old Descent games.
I bought this back when it came out and played it a little, but recently revisited it and played through it completely. It's a lot more fun on a high end computer from the future. The graphics look good and the moment to moment experience of flying around a 3D world is fun. Stuff blows up real good. The controls are notably better than other 6DOF games. It has a few design quirks. Your ship and weapons can be upgraded with upgrade points and super upgrade points that are hidden in the levels, but you can't go back to try to find more, so you could easily shaft yourself and be stuck in scenario that might be too difficult for you. There are frequently combat rooms with a lot of enemies that contain a temporary powerup to help you, but you can't find it until after all the enemies are cleared out. The penultimate weapon, the fusion cannon equivalent, is underwhelming. It doesn't do a huge amount of damage, uses a lot of energy, is slow firing, has to charge up, and shakes your ship around too much while it is charged. The standard laser weapon is obsolete as soon as you get the cyclone. You're basically going to be using the cyclone or the driller most of the game. Those are pretty minor though, and I would still recommend this game in 2026. It is better than Sublevel Zero and Desecrators.
