About the Game
Descent is an old-school mining game, made for iPhone.
- Six strata with unique characteristics
- Ore gets richer with depth: iron, copper, silver, gold, platinum — and Descentium, the rare guidance ore that opens the way home
- Five rig systems to upgrade: drill, fuel tank, cargo bay, hull, engine
- Dynamite... for when the rock disagrees with you
- Insurance: rescues aren't free!
- Buried bones scattered in the deep: assemble the whole skeleton for a payout
- Bring 3 Descentium and $150,000 to the launch pad, to complete the game
- Autosaves constantly; pick any run back up where you left it
- Fully offline. No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts.
The ore gets richer the deeper you go. So does everything trying to stop you!
No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no tracking, no exploitative mechanics — safe to hand to a kid. Fully playable offline.
What Players Say
"Old school fun" — Fun and really addictive! No ads (child-friendly) and fun side-missions
"Retro throwback" — Just like the kinds of games I used to play as a kid! Really fun, there are lots of things to discover beyond just trying to launch the rocket.
I also like that there are no ads or exploitative mechanics - I would feel comfortable giving this to my kids to play.
"Very time-consuming" — Much more fun and time-consuming than I originally thought 😂 can I please get a feature to name and customize my digger?
