Descension

Hey guys.  I'm going to be moving pretty fast for the next couple of reviews because there's a certain game that I want to review on Wednesday.  Oh Dean, you and your wily ways

anyways, Descension is a boss fight that reminds me a lot of Space Deadbeef on the ground.  For all 100% of you who don't know what Space Deadbeef is, here's a supplementary summary:

Ooh, look!  A giant mechanical dragon that outguns you in every sense of the word and wants you dead.  Here's a pea shooter, some powerups and a series of platforms.  Have fun, sport!

The controls are fluid and every death typically seems like your fault, so the game is solid in that respect.  Can't complain about the graphics or the aesthetic.  It goes for that whole "neon dystopia" look, which I rather like.  The experience is fun and tense till the very end, which will probably come sooner rather than later because the dragon is so hard to kill.

All-in-all, this game is kind of rudimentary.  Nothing really stands out that makes this game a learning experience or a revolution in the medium, but it's just a fun way to pass a few minutes.  Check it out if you're bored and looking for some pretty lights to occupy you for a few moments.

Until next time, stay shiny
