Aliens have invaded another mining colony and are holding the workers hostage. The aliens want to use the colony as a base, and you are the only person who can save the workers and prevent the aliens from taking over. Luckily, you are in a vehicle specially designed to navigate the tight corridors of the mineshafts. Your vehicle is also equipped with guns, missiles, and other weapons you can use to destroy the alien threat. Don't miss a single detail of the 30 levels thanks to the fully 3D environments. If you need some help or just want to destroy a human opponent, connect two PlayStations with a link cable and let the good times roll. Do you have the skills and balance to save the mineworkers? Play DESCENT MAXIMUM and find out.

Descent Maximum took the best parts of the original Descent and Descent II for the PC and adapted them to the Playstation game console. Descent Maximum was the second and final Descent game available for the Playstation game console. Initially, the game was to be a direct port of Descent II to the Playstation, however at the time Sony were rejecting PC ports of games to the PS in the US, so the game was retooled, renamed and all the previous levels were scrapped in favor of 36 new Playstation exclusive levels.

It was still released as "Descent 2" for the Playstation in foreign markets.
