I'm a huge fan of strategy games, and this one seems like a gem. I'm new to the series, and have only played a few hours, but I like what I see. Engaging gameplay, presentation, and audio. The designers put their heart and soul in this, which is why I love indie and classic titles so much! HOWEVER... I've had major problems running this game. It crashes randomly, and inevitably crashes on exit (which is harmless, but disconcerting). See the forums for specifics on my problem. Currently I have navigated the issue, but I'm still wary about the game's stability. 3/5 stars... would get 4, but it's too buggy right now.
Thanks for bringing these two games back! They are among the first I played on PC, in addition to other classics like Doom, RoTT, Duke Nukem, etc. of the same era. I think this is the first and maybe only game I have played where a joystick was a distinct advantage. I used to be big on flight sims, and I could manage to play these using just the keyboard/mouse. Not Descent, though! Still trying to find that optimal control configuration to this day. Truly a classic in every sense. Gameplay that continues to impress, appropriate difficulty settings, and revolutionary in the FPS and simulation genres.
