Descensus is a souls-like action-RPG with challenging combat set in post-catastrophe diesel punk world. The player's goal is to reach the heart of the mysterious Rift of the Fallen Star – a grandiose tear in the world appeared as a result of a catastrophe and changed the world beyond recognition breaking laws of universe and converting the world around into an anomalous zone. It is necessary to stop the expansion and spread of the anomaly before it absorbs the whole world. Choose from one of predefined classes but it up to you how to develop your character and build. Collect meteor spores that give extraordinary skills to your character, find new weapons and moprhosis, change yourself and your experience on the sole isle of normality in the perverted world – Seeker`s base. Start your descent into the rift – the physical and metaphysical tear in the fabric of the world. Rise and fall until you reach the heart of the fallen Star.

So first off I'll say I really like game. I've always like isometric souls. I do have some issues I hope they address...
- Stamina drains way too quickly and recovers way too slowly.
- It took about 3 hours to find any armor which means you're naked for the first multiple areas. Also there are no strength weapons early on.
- Attacks have no weight or punch.
- There is a day/night cycle but it seems night longer than day.
- Not enough bosses.
But overall I'm having fun and I keep coming back to it. I wish there were more reviews and interest in this game to inspire the devs to keep working on it. I see potential here.

Is the game perfect, no. Am I enjoying it, you bet I am! If you’re a soulslike junkie like me, this is a great little isometric soulslike! I keep thinking it reminds me of The Ascent or Grim Dawn, but Dark Souls style and I’m here for it.
If you’re on the fence, try the demo. The full game is just like what’s shown in the demo. In fact, my save carried over into the full (EA) game. Which is always a nice surprise.
Others have complained about the gun and the grenades, but I am quite enjoying them. I also like the ability to upgrade your talismans. I’m not sure I have seen that in a soulslike before, certainly it’s not an often used mechanic as of now.
The devices are pretty neat too and spoiler *there is a healing device found about 3-4 hours in. This is a supplement to the healing flasks (which I haven’t found any more of yet 10+ hours in), so I’m glad I found it.*
All things considered, I am glad I took the plunge as there is very little info regarding this gam...
