Aegis Descent Direct Download
Aegis Descent is a fast-paced action game set at the end of WW2. It blends the intense combat gameplay of a vehicle shooter with the strategy and replayability of the roguelite genre. Experimental Technology Take control of a new experimental vehicle, the Aegis, and blast your way through the enemy forces. Our research scientists have developed this vehicle, specifically designed for combat in the caverns below. It has the armor of a heavy tank, the weapon arsenal of a destroyer and the maneuverability of an airship. As you descend deeper, you’ll be able scavenge technology from the facility to replenish your resources, supplement your ammo supplies and acquire new perks. To emerge victorious you’ll need to choose your route through the caverns wisely. Even if your run ends in destruction, your sacrifice will not be in vain. You’ll have gathered important intel for the next brave pilot to be sent down into the depths. Unlock new pilot classes, weapons and perks by earning awards.
After playing this for a decent bit, I already really find myself enjoying the overall atmosphere and mechanics of the game, especially with how integrated the hud is into the cockpit. The perk selections are cool, the weapons are fun to shoot, and you really do feel tanky yet agile, quite befitting of a hovertank. Although, if I had ONE major gripe with the game, the only thing I’d readily want adjusted is how it sounds to ram/shoot enemies and receive hits. Or well, it’s the *lack* of sounds in that regard. If they’d just add some sort of metallic thud or crunch upon ramming a target, or the sizzle of a laser beam/projectile striking your hull, I’d easily consider it to be a top tier roguelike game. They certainly did a great job at the sound design for everything else, but that specific part being neglected is oddly distracting over time.
Aegis Descent Pre-Installed:
There’s certainly a nice amount of content with a lot of RNG to the perks and map layouts, so I still feel like I’ve gotten my money’s worth after gettin it on sale, and would definitely recommend it to others (especially since I reckon it wouldn’t be too difficult to patch in hit sounds, if they decided to get around to it at least. The one thankful thing to note is that explosions still have respective sounds, it’s just mainly bullets and ramming) The game consists of three levels, including three boss fights with additional ascension levels unlocked if you successfully beat the last boss. There is a fair bit of grinding, so be prepared to play for quite some time before you unlock new classes and weapons. When you play the game for the first time, you’ll only have access to one class, the Combat Pilot, while the other two (S.E.R.E. Specialist and Intelligence Officer) need to be unlocked.
