Vigil Games · Jan 5, 2010
Set in a Post-Apocalyptic demon-ravaged world where evil forces have prematurely brought about the end of the time. Originally sent to oversee the destruction of Earth, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been betrayed by their master, stripped of their powers and cast down to Earth. Players take on the role of WAR -- the first of the Four Horsemen -- as he embarks on a brutal quest of vengeance and revenge against the forces that betrayed him with the help of his phantom steed RUIN. Darksiders: Wrath of War features open-world exploration, a deep combat system and a huge arsenal of modern and mythical weapons.
When this game was released, I really needed it. That "Zelda"-inspired format of adventure and item collection feels like coming home, and the fact that it was included in this fast-paced, brutal, and stylish hack and slasher was a nice touch. Well paced and all dressed up in a evocative style, "Darksiders" remains a memorable and fun adventure. Great voice acting by Mark Hamill!
