Hungry for some old-school shooter action? Then you ought to keep your eye on Overload, the new Kickstarter-funded game from the original creators of the classic Descent series. Much like Descent, Overload puts you in command of a spacecraft with a full six degrees of control (up/down, left-right, forward/backward) and tasks you with navigating a series of tight, enemy-filled tunnels. The game looks intense, and a bit maddening, but that’s exactly what Descent fans are into. Check out the game’s launch trailer, below.

　　Don’t worry though, Overload won’t be too old-school. Developer Revival Productions is promising a variety of new, modern features:

　　Descent, developed by Parallax Software and published by Interplay in 1995, received critical acclaim for its 3D six-degree-of-freedom gameplay that combined the best of space flight simulation with FPS experience. Overload offers a Descent-like style of play, but brings the labyrinthine environments to new and vibrant life with updated features, deeper gameplay, and dramatically enhanced graphics.

　　Gameplay Features:

　　15 level single-player campaign plus secret levelsNumerous level challenges including lava, forcefields, lockdowns, ambushes and secret rooms20 terrifying robot enemies, plus Super-Robots and Variants and three bossesMultiplayer with public and private matchesChallenge mode (with two variants) and 12 Challenge Mode levels Story by the writer of FreeSpace 2 with fully-voiced audio (English Only)Adrenaline-pumping soundtrackOptional training level for refining your piloting skillsAchievements and LeaderboardsUpgrades and XP system and advanced player statsAutomap and Holo-guide for navigation assistanceSave anywhereSix difficulty levels ranging from a casual challenge to very punishingSupport for mouse, keyboard, gamepad and/or joystick controlsSurround sound audio optionsVirtual reality support for Oculus and ViveOverload has been available on Steam in Early Access form for a while (where it’s accumulated a “Very Positive” user score), but it will get a full release next month.
