Darksiders Genesis

201975/100
Role-playing (RPG)Hack and slash/Beat 'em upAdventure

Fantasy

Darksiders Genesis transplants the series' signature apocalyptic action into a Diablo-esque isometric perspective. Players control Strife and War, swapping between the gun-toting and melee-focused Horsemen to overcome hordes of demons and solve environmental puzzles. The combat, while simplified from the core entries, retains a satisfying weight, and the ability to upgrade abilities and weapons keeps the cycle of destruction fresh throughout the lengthy campaign.

About Darksiders Genesis

View Game Details
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.
