Overload

Amazing renewal of Descent. Nails that chunky, satisfying, robot-pulverizing loop they first pioneered. As a Descent fan, well done. On the other side of the ledger: In terms of the campaign level design, I wish they had pushed the format further than following the original so closely. My favorite moments were some of the more complex room and cave designs, where constant maneuver of different kinds and tactical weapon choice played a role. The level design sticks too much to claustrophobic situations, which are fun, but get repetitive with peak-and-shoot alternated with ambush/rush situations figuring largely. Having said that, the organic caves and ice caverns with the new lighting are lovely and eerie. Lots of potential for more interesting situations. Let us get lost, become disoriented, push it to the limit.

Just like Descent. Pick up on sale and blast. Super fun.

Love this game and the original Descent games!

I do not play a ton of 6DOF games but I loved the campaign on Hotshot. got lost quite a bit but there is a map to reference where you are, and getting lost is part of the fun. audio logs and mission briefings contribute positively to the atmosphere, as does the dense soundtrack. sad to see the devs of this one went under, I hope they're able to get together and make another campaign. challenge mode seems to have a lot to do with its own leveling system, and NG+ might have new stuff.

If you enjoyed Descent, you'll enjoy this!

awesome, descent but better
