Descent 1, 2 and 3 really captivated my imagination as a kid, they're still compelling, really. This could be sweet

I suspect all of it was meant to be cool
Descent Was Still Great Though

Good enough that it even crossed my "try to map for it" threshold.

I got the level editor with a descent 1 and 2 bundle, but it wasnt as flexible as quake...

Well that's not quite fair. It's capable of doing cool things but the level of skill required seemed much higher and not worth the effort.

Was Descent's tech mostly 'you can make cube portals, and attach them to other cube portals, and only X can be seen at once' or something like that? Never seen an editor for the game, just remember reading once that it was a very basic portal rendering engine, which is how it did '3d' while really still only being a bunch of 2D shapes data-wise.

I don't know about portals, but all levels were made of 6-sided cubic volumes, joined by empty coincident faces, which I guess were treated as portals. They could be skewed, tapered, and twisted however you wanted, but your only option was to add a cube. Not many hexagonal rooms in Descent.
It was very much 3D, though, there were no 2.5D shenanigans.

Nice, only looks like a 10 year old game now. At least the environments have some sort of theme and interest, but Unreal 4 tech my ARSE.
