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, as well as introduces the horseman STRIFE.

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

Good introduction to the genre

Darksider Genesis was the first game I completed in the hack'n'slash RPG genre and it is a great game. The game pretty much carries you through the story without to much back tracking, platforming that gives you a challenge and perfectly balanced enemies. Can recommend.

Awesome

Change of perspective doesn't make it any less 'Darksiders'. Action, story and music are all the same top quality as previous entries. Truly a great addition to the series!

Not up to the standard of previous games

Other games in this frachines were deeper and contained more content. For the cost this needed to be substantially more robust in content, have a longer time to completion and have less issues where the fixed POV changes midway through an action requiring you to guess at the direction you're supposed to go after the POV shift. Which brings me to, finally, this game is not intended to be played with keyboard, and it should advertise that up front. If you do not already have a controller, you should not purchase the game as you will (with the aforementioned fixed POV and changes to POV mid fight or platforming) suffer greatly. While this happened periodically in previous entries to this classic console series, when I thought about this problem being more prevelent here than before and the significantly reduced amount of content... the fact that this really wasn't an RPG or even ARPG... I realized it's just not competing in the same space as the previous games.
