Just when Material Defender thought he could go home...
Descent 2 picks up where Descent left off. Material Defender is heading back to the PTMC, hoping to get his money and head home. Not so. Dravis tells him the alien virus infestation has spread, and they're outfitting his Pyro-GX with an experimental hyperdrive unit. Material Defender protests, but Dravis reminds him that he's on retainer, and if he refuses, he doesn't get paid, and he gets sued. Material Defender grudgingly sets out.
Descent 2 was the sequel to Descent. Essentially, the game used almost the same game engine, using, in fact, the original weapons plus a few more. Equally as fun as, if not more fun than, Descent.
