Buy Descent: Freespace - The Great War PC key

Descent: Freespace - The Great War is a space combat game that includes the original Freespace and the Silent Threat mission pack. You pilot a Galactic Terran Alliance (GTA) craft in a war against the Shivan, a hostile species that emerges through subspace near Earth with technology far beyond anything previously seen. The Shivans do not communicate or respond to the GTA's heralds; they attack, sending swarms of fighters from their flagship.

The Great War

As a GTA pilot, you are already familiar with war, but your first encounter with the Shivans challenges what you know about space combat. The game follows the beginning of the Great War against them.

Missions and species

The game includes 30 branching single-player missions and 20 multiplayer missions. It features three species, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, tactics, ships and fighting characteristics.

Ships and mission editor

You can fly more than 40 ships, presented with real-time graphics, dynamic lighting, effects and animation. The game also includes FRED, a mission editor for creating detailed missions.
