Pumo Mines

Pumo Mines is a project made by Pumo (and friends) to develop a custom Mission/Mod made for the Descent 2 videogame (exclusively for the D2X-XL port). Note it's still a work in progress.

The aim of the project is to offer a high-quality singleplayer campaign with high-resolution graphics, sounds, original high-quality music, custom robots, weapons and much more, with a brand new story that will develop on a new universe with new characters, situations and places.
