About Descent 2
You're going down... again.
If you thought Descent™ went to the edge of 360° 3D power-blasting sensory insanity, then prepare yourself. You're about to plunge over the edge, and into the depths of Descent II™.
Suddenly warped into the outer reaches of the Zeta Aquilae System, your new mission sends you into the black depths of treacherous alien mines. You blast through enemy robots with powerful new tools, leaving their flaming hulks in your exhaust. Your ultimate goal: to exterminate the alien robot stronghold from the enemy Alien Base and claim total control -- it's 30 new levels of outrageous destruction.
But this time, you're not alone.
Joining you on your deadly new assignment is your loyal Guide-bot. This faithful companion rushes with you through the twists and turns of the menacing darkness, often scouting ahead to hunt down the orbs, powerups and tools you desperately need to complete your job. But beware -- raging enemies are still determined to destroy you, including the menacing Thief-bot who's set on stealing your weapons of destruction and precious powerups. Get ready -- Descent II™ is about to take you on a whole new synapse-smashing ride.

This should not be £20 and I'm pretty sure it didn't used to be when I bought it. I always loved this game but that is silly when no updates have been included here and it's a 30 year old game running in Dosbox.2 found this helpful
To me Descent 1 is a sci fi ambush horror shooter. Descent 2 cranks up the pace. Levels are larger, more complex, and packed with tricks. The game shifts into a fast-paced action shooter, with twice as many weapons, most of them either fun or genuinely useful. Maps are full of hidden doors, collapsing walls, and enemies appearing behind you. Secret levels follow their own rules and feel like magical mazes where you cannot save. It is a great sequel to the original. Looking back, I personally prefer the slower, tense, ambush-driven style of Descent 1, where simpler layouts let me appreciate my progress. But Descent 2 is still a solid upgrade and will likely appeal even more to players who enjoy frantic action. For playing it today, the best option in my opinion is the DXX-Rebirth project.1 found this helpful
