DXX-Rebirth is a source port of Descent and Descent II, based on the older D1X and D2X ports. The team fixes old bugs and adds improvements while following a philosophy of keeping the games feeling like the 1995 originals.
It has official support for Linux and other Unix systems, macOS and Windows, and the code can be compiled on other systems. You need the data from your own copy of the games.

- OpenGL rendering with optional transparency, colored lighting, texture filtering and FSAA
- Joystick, keyboard and mouse can be used at the same time
