📖️ Summary

📜️[en]: A partially libre(commercial data) space FPS released in 1999, following the storyline of Descent 2 (in which the player tracks down a mining company's robots, which have gone mad after being infected by a virus). Like its predecessor, it features battles between spaceships with 6 degrees of freedom. However (thanks to its more advanced engine technology), unlike Descent 2 (whose battles took place entirely in closed environments, in the PMTC company's mines), this opus features space combat. 📜️[fr]: Un FPS spatial partiellement libre (données commerciales) sorti en 1999, reprenant la suite du scénario du jeu Descent 2 (le joueur y traquait les robots d'une compagnie minière devenus fous après avoir été infectés par un virus).

📕 Description [en]

📜️ "A space FPS" 📜️

The vertigo continues as the highly anticipated sequel to Descent I and II takes the mind-bending, pulse-pounding experience to another level! This time around, you will experience not only the same frenzied, subterranean shooting action, but also the thrill of flying out of the mines into the planetary atmosphere; where you can soar above the surface of the planet, engage in combat with enemy air and ground forces and use 10 new, lethal weapons to obliterate the most sophisticated robots to date!

📕 Description [fr]

Un FPS spatial, par le studio Outrage Entertainment, portage Linux par le studio Loki Software.
Il utilise le moteur Fusion.

Descent 3 est un FPS spatial partiellement libre (données commerciales) sorti en 1999, reprenant la suite du scénario du jeu Descent 2 (le joueur y traquait les robots d'une compagnie minière devenus fous après avoir été infectés par un virus). Comme son prédécesseur il met en scène des combats entre vaisseaux spatiaux disposant de 6 degrés de liberté. Néanmoins (du fait de la technologie plus avancée de son moteur) contrairement à Descent 2 (dont les combats se déroulaient entièrement en milieu fermé, dans les mines de la compagnie PMTC), cet opus propose des combats spatiaux.

Le vertige se poursuit alors que la suite tant attendue de Descent I et II porte l'expérience hallucinante et palpitante à un autre niveau ! Cette fois-ci, vous ne vivrez pas seulement la même action de tir frénétique et souterraine, mais aussi le frisson de voler hors des mines dans l'atmosphère planétaire ; où vous pourrez vous élever au-dessus de la surface de la planète, engager le combat avec les forces aériennes et terrestres ennemies et utiliser 10 nouvelles armes mortelles pour anéantir les robots les plus sophistiqués à ce jour !
