As a former Descent player, this game is an excellent continuation. The game requires the ability to navigate a 3D world where up & down are not always apparent. (6 axis of movement) You never know when a robot will appear for battle. Finding the right path & secret passages requires strategy & reasoning. This tpe of is my favorite game of all time.
fun
Nice follow up game to Decent.
It's basically Descent 1-2 updated for modern systems. If you liked those, you'll like this game too. If you haven't played them, Overload is a 3D shooter compensating slower movement with full usage of three dimensions. Easily playable on mouse+keyboard.
It's a bummer this game didn't get the push that it needed to reach more people. it's a 10/10.
THIS is how "spirtual sequel" or "spiritual successor" games should be done. This game is the old Descent blueprint brought to a modern engine, and then had the intensity cranked up to 11.
If you ever enjoyed Descent as a kid, this game is for you. If you ever enjoyed Forsaken as a kid, this game is for you. If you have never tried either of those games before, but you love fast paced FPS games and think you can wrap your head around 6 degrees of total freedom (up-down, left-right, pitch up-pitch down, yaw left-right, forward-backwards, and roll left-right, makes 6DOF) then this game is for you. Seriously, I can't recommend this game enough, and the VR support is so much fun too, though i understand why some people can't handle it. This gameplay style can be nauseating for some people even in 2D flat panel mode, I bet there's far fewer that can handle this in VR, but if you can I highly recommend you give it a shot. If you can do it with a HOTAS or dual-stick setup, even better.
Anyone remember DESCENT? Forsaken at least???
Overload is by the key people who unleashed Descent and it's 1996 sequel upon us - This game comes across as somewhat of prequel or spiritual successor to that original vision Descent laid out. This time round you've got more world building and storytelling than what the first two Descent games did. Same premise, different setting and angle. Descent was the result of corporate corruption, whereas Overload (Spoiler Alert) is the ambitions of a paranoid megalomaniac gone horribly out of control. Either franchise the narrative is your excuse to fly down a off-world mineshaft, blow up a mine full of drones armed to the teeth with every intention to obliterate you first, blow up the reactor and reenact the Deathstar escape from Return of the Jedi... Every level! Like your classic boots-on-the-ground shooters, you face off against bigger badder threats while finding new toys to screw the competition over with each new level. But this is a Six Degrees of Freedom Shooter! Hope you don't get claustrophobic or vertigo, because threats will come at you won't just come at you from all sides - they'll even do it from above and below... Worst case scenario involves a vicious ambush from every conceivable direction! If you think Starfield comes close - THINK AGAIN! Expect Quake's level of bat$@#% crazy head on a swivel degrees frantic firefights. That was what Descent was like back in 1995 and very much what you can expect from Overload's white-knuckle action.
My only complaint. I have found multiplayer does not work out of the box without some serious jiggering (assuming you find a guide that can point you in all the right directions to do so effectively). Console multiplayer DOES NOT work as the games will crash after a minute of conversing with it's own echoes.
The single-player works like a charm and will likely be more than enough to test your limits. If you can get a multiplayer session going - Forget what the AI will do to you...
Six degrees of freedom at this level isn't exactly for the faint of heart or weak stomached, but it you can at least condition yourself... Overload is one of the best examples of this kind of action game and is easily "Required Play" (gaming equivalent of Required Reading)!
Had this game since Early Access, and it's only gotten better. Anyone who grew up on the OG Descent series and has been missing that sort of full-freedom space robot shooter, this is the true successor. VR implementation is great, but fair warning, you'll need a strong stomach to play more than a few minutes; it's the only VR game to give me sustained motion sickness. The devs have done a fantastic job, and the community level packs are a great addition!
Pretty damn perfect Descent-like, maybe the only one I've found with perfect controller support and quite a few QoL improvements to the original. Should go without saying this was made by OG Descent devs, that's probably why you are here. Have no fear, works on older systems, looks and plays great. I am tri-chording like never before.
Winter Salers: The current sale is an insane deal, get it all now, but I would've bought it earlier if I hadn't slept on it ;_; a well polished gem
Just need a mod to make the cockpit hud actually in the cockpit.
Thrilling dog flights, Decent nostalgia, and zero-gravity flight. This game sets out to modernize Decent, and succeeded. I greatly enjoy this game.
Really good if you like descent or 6DOF games in general. I had a blast playing this. The controls are really good (I used a controller) and the feedback from shooting was fantastic. There were some minor issues with game thou: There was some steep difficulty spikes and the ~3 final levels were kinda bad. There was one map in particular in the end, with a really confusing layout and a million teleports, where you have to find and shoot generators, that was really frustrating, and it took an eternity to find the last thingie to shoot. But other than that the experience was great. Easy recommend.
It's Doom, in zero gravity!
When I saw the trailer for Overload, my immediate thought was "They are gong to get sued by the creators of Descent!" I was glad to find out it was the folks from Descent that made this game. All of the fun, full 3D, vertigo, shooting, is here and then some. Fully voices mission briefings, inventive ship designs, and gorgeous graphics. AND it works in VR.
Really enjoyed the original descent, this is a great remake, keeps the mind bending 3D maps, fantastic music by Brimble, and dark/scary robots. Love it.
Descent IV basically. This game is awesome. I played so many hours of Descent, and Descent II as a kid. Even had the "Levels of the World" Soundtrack. This game is basically Descent 4. Original devs who made the first three games came together to make a fourth. They didn't have the license to the original name, so we get it called "Overworld" instead, but it's basically Descent with modern graphics. Tons of fun, and old-school cool. Highly recommended.
Controls are absolutely horrible... Cant get rid of the jerkiness big swaying left and right trying to get cross heirs on the targets and If you like being dizzy disoriented not knowing which is up or down have fun
epic
It's everything that Descent wanted to be, in a modern package. I keep coming back to it, the game feel is so damn good. It's gorgeous and engrossing; the controls are great; the weapons and upgrade system work great; lots of nicely hidden secrets that feel really rewarding to find; and a level design that feels very labyrinthine but only just without me getting lost, which is an impressive balance.
Protip: when navigating into a big scary cavern which is likely to be filled with enemy auto-ops, I find that turning my ship so that the entrance is _above_ me makes it feel less scary. Playing with what-is-up makes gameplay even more fun.
Unsupported controllers.
Turns out I spent a bunch of money to get stuck on Roll in options.
one of the best 6dof games since the original Decent!
better than descent
I loved Descent when it came out in 95. I love all the versions; I would suggest that each version is a step further away from the core "Space Invaders" concept that seeded it. The story arc of mercantilism and corporatism gone astray in some future borderline dystopia has gradually developed, leading us on in a continuing mission to protect humanity from persons crazed by the lust for wealth and power; and I would love to see that mission extend to Earth, as it did briefly in Descent 3. A very rich story-line and an outrageous multiplayer experience could be derived from that notion...
I'd also suggest that a big part of Descent is piloting the ship. I've gone through a range of control interfaces over the years, starting with keyboard only. By Descent 3 I was settled on two joysticks and custom foot-pedals, which makes the experience fairly natural and fluid for me. I'm on matched Thrustmaster 16000's at this time. Apart from the TARGET software install completely borking my Windows 7 rig and requiring an image restore through Macrium Reflect, I am very happy with the experience.
And very happy with this game. I just bought the community and anniversary packs and I'm about to begin the community game

good game
feels like D3
Its space. Kill the robots. Go down until it tells you to go back up again.
The "six degrees of freedom" type of game, like this, can be disorienting. I thought I'd have a problem as it's been so many years since I played Descent, Descent 2, and Descent 3.
I don't have my Logitech Wingman 3D anymore, and have tried the Thrustmaster I bought a few years ago with a top hat. It doesn't seem to compare to my old memories! So I use a trackball and the keyboard, and have had to adjust the sensitivity settings on the trackball, but I'm getting the hang of it.
If you ever played Descent and loved it, you will fall in love with this game. There is a discord group to help find matches, but there is no coop play.
Really fantastic. Be sure to get the extra maps with the game.
You're going to love it!
Everything the Descent series was meant to be. If you did not have the pleasure of experiencing the apex of late 90s PC gaming, you can get caught up with what the old heads experienced, but perfected with Overload.
This is Descent for a new generation of computers. If you've played Descent you'll feel right at home here.
If you're young and don't know what Descent is, this is a six-degrees of freedom shooter that will test you in a fair way. Movement, shooting and atmosphere are all on point.
Highly recommended
Kinda wish there was a 'meh' option, because this game does do a good job recapturing the Descent 1 & 2 experience, but it tries so hard it forgot how old those games were.
If they ever make a sequel (I hope they do, as unlikely as it is), they need to change the way their level design works. I enjoyed Descent and Descent 2 (never played 3) but the way they do secrets, buttons, and upgrades all feel like they're a major way to drive off players because its such an outdated system.
Back in the day secret areas block by camouflaged doors was the norm, but now it's just kind of annoying to smash into every hard to notice door trying to figure out if its activated by a button, area trigger, or if it's a monster closet opened by other means.
Buttons are a pain to figure out because they could activate anything anywhere and are sometimes sealed behind those same secret doors, which may or may not require a button themselves.
Upgrades points being hidden behind secrets and secrets activated by buttons hidden behind secrets forces the player to constantly scrounge around trying to 100% exploration in the levels which isn't really that fun once again if you have no idea what opens a locked door.
If they make a sequel they could probably find a way to take ques from something like Amid Evil, where secrets were mostly camouflaged by scenery, not sealed off by barely visible doors opened by whatever random means, and buttons were mostly if not always placed where you could directly see what was activated. For buttons far away from the target door, they could have a visual trail like conduits and/or cables.
The upgrade system also felt kinda meh. If it were me I'd have just allowed a secondary effect to each primary weapon. More energy, shields, ammo ect. could have just been pickups like the Doom backpack. Headlights and "sprinting" shouldn't have costed energy anyway.
The game could have also used much brighter lighting. It's nowhere near Doom 3 levels of dark but it is hard to figure out what your looking at most of the time without the headlights.
The enemy designs in Descent felt kinda like fighting 3-4 unique models repurposed with new weapons and armor, Descent 2 felt like it had an actual roster of unique, visually distinct enemies to fight each with their own looks, weapons, movement styles, and strategies. Here, the first 3-4 enemy types looks way too samey and the dark lighting doesn't really help. The only ways I could really tell they were different was the shots from their weapons and how much health they had. At least they kept the Clawbots because those felt like the only enemies I could recognize from a distant, dark hallway.
I keep trying this game but by the time I get to level 5 I'm already burned out from secret hunting (ESPECIALLY secret hunting) and fighting similar enemies in the same very dark corridors. I don't HATE the game, but I can't bring myself to love it. If I can't enjoy it, how could I recommend it to others?
I was in high school when Descent came out. As amazing as games like Doom were, Descent and Descent 2 were just absolutely mind blowing. The moment to moment gameplay, the graphics, the sound - it just made for a gaming experience i couldn't get anywhere else.
This game is basically how i remember Descent. If you look at the graphics of that 1995 game now, it looks blocky and super low resolution. But of course, i don't remember it that way! Overload looks great, sounds great, and plays great. It is incredibly fulfilling to master the movement and circle strafe around a target on multiple different axes.
I've mostly gotten bored with traditional FPS games. Even the boomer shooters that call back to the 90s. But this game is great fun, and is sorta an FPS.
Buy this if you liked Descent, or if you just like fast paced movement-based shooters.
freezes on steam deck can not even get past training level
Challenge mode is very fun. Campaign is too. Multiplayer would be but no one plays this much anymore
LOVE SKULL !!!
If you like descent you will like this game
