Descent II - Intro

Released in 1996, Descent II is a classic Shooter/Simulator where you pilot a craft through 30 levels of complex, alien mines across multiple star systems. The core gameplay emphasizes six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) movement, requiring players to blast robots and secure objectives in full 3D space. New features include a scouting Guide-bot companion and the threat of Thief-bots that steal your gear. The story involves the Material Defender being forced into deep-space missions, culminating in the discovery that the final target is a massive alien ship.
