Descensus

Descensus is a souls-like action RPG set in a post-catastrophe dieselpunk world. You descend into the Rift of the Fallen Star, a tear in reality created by a catastrophe that has altered the world and broken its laws. Your goal is to reach the Rift’s heart and stop the anomaly from spreading until it consumes the world.

The Rift and the Seeker’s base

The Rift is a physical and metaphysical rupture filled with anomalies. Its biomes were once part of the surface, but now form a world of distorted reality; the deeper you go, the more horrible and abnormal its changes become. Seeker’s base is the sole isle of normality in this warped world.

Build your character

Choose one of several predefined classes, then develop your character and build as you see fit. You can find weapons and items that provide different combat options, collect meteor spores to gain extraordinary skills, and obtain morphosis—anomalous changes that make your character stronger. You can also create devices based on the Rift’s anomalies.

Fight through the Rift

Combat is challenging and uses an isometric view, giving you more control over the battlefield. Combine melee and ranged weapons to fight the Rift’s spawn, and use your equipment and skills to shape your approach.

Return to the descent

Death does not end your journey. If your body cannot continue, you are reborn beside the last meteorite you imprinted yourself on. You can return to the place where you died to recover lost Ethereal energy, but you have only one chance: if you die again, that energy dissipates.
