New Gameplay Today – Descenders
RageSquid's game Descenders seems like a weird Mad-Lib creation, but it's very real. You'll be forgiven for not believing that a procedurally generated, downhill BMX roguelike isn't just the product of an A.I. gone amok. The game came out on PC a few months ago, but it's on Xbox One Game Preview soon, which gave Kyle, Leo, and me an excuse to race (and ragdoll) our brains out.
Even though the basics are the same – ride down a hill and ultimately cross the finish line – each level offers a fair bit of variety. It can come in the form of different challenges, tricky courses, or even the inclusion of a tricky first-person perspective. Fortunately for us, Kyle is a trained professional, and he was able to take on everything the game threw at us. Well, for the most part.
Descenders hits Xbox One Game Preview on May 15.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
