Nostalgia Descent 2: has anyone made a new game that's anything like it?

Overload is basically a remake of Descent. Pretty good and with easier navigation.

The movement was so much better with dual thumbsticks.

F that thief bot, especially when the little bastard leads you right into an ambush with other robots. For the time, the AI on that character was impressive.

The original creators were making a successor, but not sure what happened to it.

EDIT: So there were actually two different streams. One from the original creators who released Overload in 2018. https://store.steampowered.com/app/448850/Overload/

And one from another team that had the Descent license, and then didn’t, and has been stuck in development and legal hell for about a decade. https://store.steampowered.com/app/971850/Ships_That_Fight_Underground_STFU/
