Ships that Fight Underground (formerly known as Descent: Underground) is a first-person vehicle shooter where you blast enemies, collect loot, and level up through pulse-pounding combat inside asteroids!

Descent: Underground will bring the frenetic and pulse-pounding gaming experience back and add upgraded gameplay and features including Voxel technology, customizable ships, team and individual play, changeable maps, special weapons and upgrades, and so much more!

Descent: Underground will offer a distinctive gameplay style that gives players the ability to pit their flying skills against players around the world. Imagine fighting with 10, 20, 30 or more people all battling and acquiring minerals to keep the people on earth alive for one more day!

Descent: Underground is a six-degrees-of-freedom, first-person-vehicle shooter set in the asteroid fields between Mars and Jupiter around three-hundred years into the future. Giant corporations have replaced national governments and have taken to space in a gold rush of mining operations. The flight and combat skills of their pilots help dominate enemy companies and pilots become heroes as their battles are broadcast back to earth for fans to cheer on their favorites.


Descent: Underground developer Descendent Studios announced a publishing and distribution arrangement with Little Orbit, which plans to expand distribution of the six-degrees-of-freedom shooter to include retail boxed copies and console versions for XBox One and PS4 in addition to Windows, Mac, and Linux.
