For the uninitiated, Descent tasks the player with piloting a ship through cavernous mines, taking out other ships and robots, while collecting resources and ultimately escaping with your ship intact. Underground will apparently bring back many of those beloved game mechanics, while updating the game with fresh visuals and the ability to play with far more competitors.
The Kickstarter campaign is seeking $600,000 USD for development, and offers a number of tier rewards including boxed editions of Descent: Underground and beta access.
