Descendent Studios, today released a new update for Descent: Underground rebalancing a number of gameplay elements, including weapons and missile hardpoints. Codenamed “Spectre”, the patch includes a number of Halloween-themed asset changes for players to enjoy.

“Our players are deeply involved in our development process,” said Descendent CEO Eric “Wingman” Peterson. “They work hard helping us improve the game and we wanted to give them a bit of a treat.”

This release also adds a new multiplayer map called “BAMM”, expands the number of maps available for the “Conquest” game mode, and adds play tips to the loading screens. It also includes a new reticle system to give players better feedback about where shots should land and improves the UI in a number of ways. More information is available in the patch notes.

The Early Access version of Descent: Underground is now on sale for 35% off at: http://www.descentunderground.com and Steam. It is also available at other online resellers. The game already features a number of multiplayer competitive and cooperative game modes, among them a horde-style “Survival” mode, and a tongue-in-cheek capture-the-flag mode called “Miner Mayhem”. Single-player “Survival” and “Vs. Bots” modes allow offline play in advance of the upcoming storyline campaign.
