I tried the free teaser of this game while it was development and the very first thing that came to mind as I moved my ship around and took my first few shots: "Oh... yeah this is Descent." It just feels so much like the old mine-crawlers that it wasn't surprising to find out that some of the minds behind the originals were also the guys that made Overload happen. Controls are tight, weapons are varied, and flight feels fantastic. The enemies are have their own fighting styles - some will shoot and run, others will slowly advance or charge - and they are all quite deadly. The mines are disorienting (as they should be) but the in-game map is very helpful and there is a guide-bot if you need/want it. There are a ton of secret areas in every level with weapons, ammo, and upgrade points and the game keeps track of how many you find/miss. If you loved the Descent I/II this is going to be an amazing game for you.
