Fans of classic shooters will enjoy this one, especially if you were a fan of Descent. It's a hugely different experience from games released today in a tight bundle with lots to offer.

Descent 4 in all but name

Controls are great. Gameplay is similar to Descent 2, but with slight improvements. The weapons feel good, performance is good even on more modest systems. Interesting story for those who are interested in that aspect.

The Ultimate Descent! Best Bang for $!

Overload is the real deal—this isn't just another Descent clone with exaggerated joystick antics. The atmosphere is intense, the bots are relentless, and the audio logs genuinely deepen the mystery. It's eerie in the best way possible. If you're tired of repetitive retro throwbacks, Overload delivers something far more immersive and polished. The controls are also modernized, the visuals are extremely impressive, and this is absolutely the best bang for the buck, content-wise! Many, many hours of playtime in this, and is literally the only game I have been playing for, for days, as I enjoy my Metallica and Black Sabbath records! The BYO soundtrack-friendly design really adds to this, since I've been collecting metal records since Ozzy's passing. Everything in this game is excellently done, and I want to give a shout out to Tyana Aeos, and everyone else involved in this revival of an amazing franchise possible! I'm looking forward to the next Descent game, if there are any plans for it, but the existence of this game is a true godsend, and I am genuinely surprised by how all of this turned out! Thank you all again!
