Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter
The groundbreaking 6DOF shooter Descent, once a popular title, is being remembered for its innovative fully 3D gameplay. Released in the mid-1990s, Descent offered a unique experience, allowing players to navigate spacecraft through zero-gravity environments and engaging in combat. While not as widely discussed today, Descent's influence on subsequent games is undeniable, pioneering mechanics and visual styles that shaped the first-person shooter genre. Its legacy continues to inspire developers and remind players of a pivotal moment in gaming history.
