The First Descendent is dollar store Destiny starring exclusively hot people

The First Descendant by Nexon is a looter shooter similar to Destiny 2, famous now for its high player count and good looks but lacks engaging gunplay.

: The First Descendant, a new looter shooter by Nexon, peaked at 203,244 players despite mixed reviews. Similar to Destiny 2, it offers beautiful visuals and is free-to-play but has unengaging gunplay. Its missions and bosses lack variety, and while it’s free initially, additional characters cost $10 each.

The First Descendant, developed by Nexon, has gained significant traction in the gaming community with a peak player count of 203,244. Despite mixed reviews, the game attracts players through its high-budget visuals and free-to-play access with no paywalled missions. Players are introduced to a campaign without incessant monetization nags, though additional content such as characters and cosmetics are available for purchase.

Copying much from Destiny 2, The First Descendant features similar loadouts, gun types, and even mission mechanics. However, the game falls short in its gunplay, a critical aspect for looter shooters, with weak sound effects and minimal reactions from enemies to being shot. Its gameplay is mainly a grind fest, fitting the current summer game drought where players are looking for new engaging experiences.

While the game offers a variety of customizable weapon traits and repeatable missions, its core missions and boss fights lack excitement. The game’s story and character abilities offer little to hook players long-term. Players might enjoy the game initially but could feel compelled to spend $10 for each new character, contradicting its free-to-play allure.
