Descenders on Steam is an exhilarating, fast-paced, extreme downhill mountain biking game that combines elements of sports simulation, rogue-like gameplay, and open-world exploration. Here’s a detailed look at what the game offers:
Overview
Genre: Sports, Racing, Action, Multiplayer
Developer: RageSquid
Publisher: No More Robots
Release Date: May 7, 2019
Gameplay and Features
Procedurally Generated Worlds: Each playthrough generates new tracks, ensuring that no two runs are the same. Players navigate through varied landscapes filled with jumps, slopes, and obstacles known as “hillbombs.” This randomness adds replayability and keeps the gameplay fresh.
Freestyle Bike Controls: The control scheme is designed to give players a high degree of freedom over their bike and rider. An in-depth physics system allows for realistic movement, enabling players to perform tricks like whips and scrubs, adding a layer of skill to the high-speed descents.
Rogue-Bike Mechanics: Descenders incorporates rogue-like elements where each run can be your last. Players earn “mutators” which are special abilities or challenges that can affect gameplay, such as altering gravity or changing how speed is managed. These mutators encourage strategic play, as you decide which ones to activate based on your riding style and the challenges ahead.
Reputation System: As you perform tricks, complete challenges, or survive long runs, you build up your “Rep.” This system not only affects your standing in the game but also unlocks new bikes, gear, and customization options for your character and bike.
Team Affiliation: Players choose from one of three teams – Enemy, Arboreal, or Kinetic – each with its own style and ethos. Your choice of team can influence your gameplay style and the community you interact with in multiplayer mode, adding a layer of social interaction and competition.
Career Mode: Beyond the endless runs, there’s a structured career mode where players take on different environments like Highlands, City, or Volcano, each with unique challenges and achievements to unlock.
Mod Support: Descenders has a vibrant mod community, allowing players to create or download custom content that can range from new bike parks to entirely new game modes, significantly extending the game’s lifespan.
Multiplayer: Although the focus is on single-player runs, you can see other players’ ghosts on the track, fostering a sense of competition. There’s also a Discord server where players can share experiences, tips, and compete in community challenges.
Soundtrack: The game features a fully licensed drum & bass soundtrack that complements the fast-paced action, providing an immersive audio experience.
Graphics and Performance
Visuals: The game boasts a vibrant, cartoonish art style with colorful environments that contrast well with the high-speed action. The graphics are optimized for performance, ensuring smooth gameplay even during the most intense descents.
Performance: Descenders runs well on a variety of hardware, focusing on maintaining high frame rates which are crucial for the game’s precision-based control.
Reception
Reviews: Descenders has received overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam, with players and critics alike praising its addictive gameplay, the seamless blend of roguelike mechanics with sports simulation, and its accessibility for new players while offering depth for seasoned ones.
Note: Given the dynamic nature of games on platforms like Steam, features and community aspects might evolve with updates, mods, and community engagement.
