Description


From the dawn of creation, THE COUNCIL has maintained the Balance across existence. Carrying out their orders are THE HORSEMEN, Nephilim (powerful beings spawned from the unnatural union of angels and demons) who have pledged themselves to the Council and been granted immense power. However, this power came at a tragic cost: the Horsemen were ordered to use their newfound strength to wipe out the rest of their kind. What followed was a bloody battle on Eden where the Horsemen, obeying the will of the Council, annihilated the Nephilim.


Still reeling from the events on Eden, WAR and STRIFE have been given a new assignment -- LUCIFER, the enigmatic and deceptive demon king, has been plotting to upset the Balance by granting power to master demons throughout Hell. War and Strife must hunt down these masters, gather information, and ultimately fight their way through a tangled, demonic conspiracy that threatens to forever upset the Balance and unravel all of creation.


DARKSIDERS: GENESIS is an action/adventure game that tears its way through hordes of demons, angels, and everything in-between on its way to Hell and back with guns blazing and swords swinging. Genesis gives players their first look at the world of DARKSIDERS before the events of the original game. Furthermore, it introduces the fourth and last horseman STRIFE, as well as Co-op gameplay for the first time in the history of the franchise.

Features:

  • Blast angels and demons as the gunslinging Horseman Strife, playable for the first time
  • Swap between the powerful swordsman War and Strife instantly in frenetic, single-player gameplay
  • Explore the epic world of Darksiders and wreak havoc with a friend in two-player cooperative mode
  • Experience a brand new story campaign that takes place before the original Darksiders, exploring the origin of the Seven Seals
  • Grow in strength and power as you collect items, abilities, weapon enhancements, creature cores and more

This is a really fun game
It's a 2 player game where if you play it one player as either character
It's allot more fun in Co Op mode
There is a few NPCs in this and they are very entertaining, especially Vulgrim
  • Easy to play
  • Storyline isn't too complicated

Game is pretty fun and worth trying with a friend. Although it's buggy at points and may seem frustrating, it really makes you try harder and in the end enjoy the result of all the hours you spent completing it.

probably the best Twin-Stick Shooter and one of the best ARPGs ever made. Insanely good combat.

Darksiders gameplay is always really good and this one is no exception.

Platforming can be tough though, because of the static camera.
  • awesome Twin-Stick combat
  • good MnK support, but would still recommend using a Controller
  • Awesome Artstyle
  • not the best camera
  • "backtracking collectibles" are so badly implemented

If you enjoy the Darksiders franchise, this fits right into the group perfectly. Despite being an isometric top-down perspective, it has jumping, platforming, puzzles and combat you love and expect from the franchise. Cool prequel story to Darksiders 1.

Great game to go with the darksiders franchise, can't wait for the fourth game to come out as i would love to have Strife to have a stand alone game. I love Strife and War as a duo, plenty of fun and doesn't let you down.
