This game is currently in the Humble Choice for September 2022, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before October 4th, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
Rogue-lite multiplayer Tony Hawk-style extreme speed, yes all of that.
Descenders is amazing. You’ll have a randomized world that allows you to explore different courses, earn a point system called “Rep”, discover different challenges in different courses, and also can see other players, but not directly be affected by them. There’s a lot to like here, the extreme speed, the ease of stunts and tricks. I automatically just pop off a Backflip almost every time I jump.
I only got through the first of the four locations, and then there were also additional challenges. I need to work on what’s known as the Boss Jump because I kept biffing over and over, and it’s the one piece that always shows up. There’s a great design at the core of this game, and this instantly hooked me into wanting to explore more and more of this experience.
Pick this up if you want an extreme sports game. This would be better if you play in a party, and in multiplayer, each person enters the same map but can go different routes, and I don’t believe can interfere with each other. However the experience here is sublime, and I am probably going to play more of it before this weekend.
