Drawn by a legendary hand of comics, that of Joe Madureira (X-Men, Battle Chasers, The Ultimates), Darksiders is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the demonic forces of evil have brought the end before their time. Initially sent to watch over the destruction of the planet Earth, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been betrayed by their own Master, stripped of their powers and sent to the mainland.
The player takes on the role of War – the first of the Four Horsemen – on a brutal mission of revenge against the forces that betrayed him, with only his phantom steed RUIN at his side.
Darksiders features a fully explorable open-world, a detailed combat system, and a gigantic arsenal of both modern and mythological weapons.
Characteristics:
Experience the Divine Power of War – Brutal attacks and supernatural abilities shape epic, action-packed combat gameplay set in a world at the mercy of demons.
Open World Exploration – Uncover hidden secrets as you explore the vast, destroyed lands once familiar to us, and keep watch for relentless enemies as you battle your way through demonic dungeons in the underworld.
A Gigantic Arsenal – Unleash the fury of War thanks to an incredible arsenal of angelic and demonic weapons but not only; every element of the setting can be used as a weapon (cars, buses etc.)
