    A new six-degree-of-freedom shooter with intuitive controls, amazing lighting and graphics. From the creators of Descent, Overload is the best zero-gravity robot-blasting combat ever.

    I’m not sure how I missed this!

    As Descent is one of my top 5 games, I’ve seen DXX and other reboot attempts including Miner Wars 2081 which started promosing but took a different approach in the end.
    (and of course the ill-fated ‘Ships that fight underground/ Descent: Underground’)

    Overload has fantastic reviews, with lots of feedback stating it feels just like D1+2.

    It even has a Level Editor! Community members have created a ton of maps as well : https://www.overloadmaps.com/

    I’m only just discovering this all now, so I’m off to enjoy it, except maybe this time its with a joystick and not Keyboard like I played D1 with 😉

    Nice! I would say more like “inspired” by the first level of D1. The layout and progression feel quite different.
