===Multiplayer===
''Descent'' allows online competitive and cooperative multiplayer sessions. The competitive sector consists of "Anarchy", "Team Anarchy", and "Anarchy With Robots", three deathmatch modes whereby players attempt to destroy as many of each other's ships as possible. Team Anarchy assigns players to two opposing teams, and Anarchy With Robots adds hostile robots to the match. In Cooperative, players team up to destroy mines and compete for the highest score. Competitive modes allow a maximum of eight players and cooperative modes allow up to four.{{sfn|Instruction Manual|1995|p=23}} Players can press a single key to type a message referred to as a taunt, rather than pausing to type in the full message.{{sfn|Instruction Manual|1995|p=27}}<ref name="PCZone"/> They can also [[cross-platform play|join same servers across different platforms]], particularly MS-DOS and Macintosh.<ref name="macworld"/>
