The ups the downs, and brutal takedowns of mining in space.

<span class="bold">Descent: Underground</span>, the thrilling return of the first-person space shooter with six degrees of freedom, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com, with GOG Galaxy support for cross-play multiplayer and a 50% launch discount.

The legendary Descent is back and it takes you deep underground! Built on Unreal Engine 4 and improving upon the intoxicating flight mechanics of the originals, it brings the fight to the most perilous corners of space, where only the bravest or most desperate pilots venture in search of lucrative mining opportunities. Customize your ship and team up with friends for some fast-paced arcade action, spinning and swerving freely through twisting corridors as you gun down your opponents.
Descendant Studios, the people committed to bringing back this beloved franchise, are planning on adding a slew of neat features throughout the In Development stage: more ship types, weapons, and gadgets, more ways to interact with your environment, single player story missions, and tons of other cool additions.

Jump into your agile spaceship, calibrate your blasters, and dive into <span class="bold">Descent: Underground</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 50% discount will last until January 21, 1:59 PM UTC.

Note: This game is currently in development. See the <span class="bold">FAQ</span> to learn more about games in development, and check out the forums to find more information and to stay in touch with the community.

This looks cool... glad to see more devs taking advantage of cross-play MP.

That's gorgeous! Hopefully they also incorporate more modern thinking on the 3D controls, like games such as Retrovirus have done.

Any chance of a demo?

Great, I love gog's in dev. program so far.

It looksgood (although I don't know if it would run well on my computer) but the cherry on the cake would be to see the original series back on GOG.

I wonder if they came here so late because of the not so positive reviews on Steam.
Posted December 21, 2016
I'd probably jump in on GOG late for a pre-release since you still can't edit your reviews here. I wouldn't want "Everything is broken and there's no single player" to be an eternal curse on the game.

That's something GOG really needs to get on fixing, especially now that they're offering games that are still being developed.

If the devs would really like to be thought of favorably & show sincere goodwill they should allow the return of the games they had yanked from sale last year.

Looking forward to see how this game turns out but I am going to remain cautious. I hope just D:U isn't going to have wide open areas with weapons that move too slow to hit enemies that move too fast like in D3.

Also hoping we'll see the original 3 games back here..............along with Duke Nukem

YES! I hope that the original Descent games would also come back to GOG.

The default controls were absolutely laid out with modern sensibilities in mind. WASD with Q&E for roll (as an extension of "lean" in games like FEAR) and Space and LCtrl for vertical movement (as an extension of jump and crouch). Of course, these are all fully configurable, so, if these aren't quite optimum for you, they can be changed.

As for a demo, we're planning on putting one out a little before the full release.

For those of you asking about the original Descent games, those are outside of Descendent Studios' control. We do not own the Descent franchise, we merely license it. They were removed from sale due to circumstances purely external to us.

Confused about silly origin stuff. Is it an offshoot of Descent? How did you guys snag the franchise; I'm glad you did, I wasn't a fan of the first couple of them but this looks amazing.

The first half of the trailer makes me wish for a story-driven singleplayer campaign. Reminded me a lot of "The Expanse".
