Descenders Review

Descenders is one of those rare gems that comes by once a blue moon and leaves you wanting more. Descenders is a high speed all out downhill MTB game that reminds me of Downhill Domination way back on PS2 yet takes all aspects of that game and makes a great improvment on what was once thought as the best MTB game to date.

Each area of the game is seperated by a different biome such as Highlands, Forest, Canyon, and Peak. You start with Highlands which does not have many obsticles and guides you on how the game will play. As you progress through the game you will unlock more areas and it will keep getting harder and harder as you progress. Each area also has a “Boss Jump” at the end which will test your skills and the only way to progress is to clear the jump, which is easier said than done.

If I had only one complaint it is that the trick system is a bit lacking, you have flips and spins yet there is not off bike tricks such as supermans, tail whips, bar spins, etc. Yet overall the game is well worth the money and with the randomly generated worlds you will never have the same path twice and even sometimes they will throw in a full curve ball and really shake things up with night maps, fog, rain, heavy snow, etc.

Summary
Descenders takes a valiant stab at integrating the fast-paced, stunt-focused gameplay of downhill sports with the procedural generation of modern games. Unfortunately, this combination robs the genre of one of its strongest attributes: handcrafted level design that players can dive into and learn from. This is balanced by tight controls and a slick presentation that keeps you from ever getting too angry at it — just make sure to not wipe out too hard.
