About Critical Descent
Critical Descent is a precision game about piloting rockets through the final moments of flight and landing them safely. You tackle 75 handcrafted levels, with scenarios that include windy storms and pitch-black nights.
Choose your challenge
The game has two difficulty modes. Arcade mode offers a more approachable challenge with automatic chopsticks and smart throttling, while Simulation mode uses fully manual controls and tighter landing constraints.
Rockets and destinations
You pilot both the massive Super Heavy booster and the more agile upper stage, attempting landings on Earth, the Moon and Mars.
Race against records
You can compete against yourself or aim for the best time on the global leaderboard. Race a ghost of your own best attempt to try to beat your record, or download and race the world record in real time.
