D2X-XL is a game mod for Descent 2 and Descent 1 that makes it easy for you to play the two popular games on your Mac.
The great thing about D2X-XL is that you can bring the well-known games back to life and enjoy the original gameplay and graphics or activate a series of enhancements designed to deliver a greatly improved appearance.
Descent is a 3D first person shooter game released in 1994 that features six degrees of freedom gameplay, single and multiplayer game mode and an intriguing game plot. Descent takes you through the Solar system, from the Moon to Mercury and to Pluto’s moon, Charon.
Thanks to D2X-XL, you can play both Descent 1 and Descent 2 with the help of a single application that uses the appropriate game elements and behavior for each of the titles. Although D2X-XL brings numerous enhancements, you have the option to turn off all extras at any given point and enjoy the original graphics and gameplay.
The numerous improvements provided by D2X-XL enable you to experience an improved single player game mode and take advantage of the expanded multiplayer capabilities.
To install D2X-XL you just have to copy it in your existing Descent installation and let the app create the necessary environment. Additional information about the installation and usage is available in the PDF document available in the D2X-XL DMG.
Between the visual improvements we could mention the added high resolution texture and models, new smoke, lighting, explosions, volumetric glare and glow effects as well as new gun and ship effects.
D2X-XL also deliver HUD improvements related to target and damage indicators, zoom scope, radar dish, weapon and equipment icons. D2X-XL enables you to play your own songs during the game and replace the original game music with high quality versions of the songs.
If you loved the Descent game series and you want to play the improved versions of the games or just enjoy the old-school graphics, then D2X-XL is the application you need.
