... and a system that appreciates cinematic death moves o/ I want to emphasize two things in order to add something to the existing (and mostly complete) reviews here: 1.) The combat system of Darksiders allows you to end an enemy in a bunch of different ways (by choosing the base attack move it shows a certain finishing move). So your avatar does quite a lot of cinematic and sometimes over the top killing moves, which look very nice. But these moves don`t just look good, they fill up a meter for special powers. So it`s recommended to fight hollywood style - that`s the upside. Downside is: after a while these matrix styled sequences get repetitive, but you need them to do a special attack in order to win the fights. 2.) A lot reviews say that you ABSOLUTELY NEED a game controller to get anything done. IMHO that is wrong. I played the whole game on keyboard and mouse and I was happy with it. Nevertheless a controller will make it easier. The game was made for console gaming after all.
This game has not that many different tower types, but each of the 5 types can upgrade into 2 very different final stages. On top KR has heroes, a direct fire spell and support troops which will make you busy all the time: block an enemy troop, level your hero, let fire rain on a breakthrough of enemies etc. First you will play the story mode levels to get to know everything and earn some skillpoints. Later on you will replay the levels for special challenges and new special levels for even more skill points. But even if you have earned enough skill points to get every bonus available, 25 levels won't be done ... and then you will have to fight hard for every progress. It is beside Defense Grid my second favorite TD game and totally worth playing.
Played 30 mins and got first "recycled" puzzle situations in game. And a soundtrack of one mere song is annoying quite fast. As a mobile game for quick short sessions: okay. For a gamer at a PC with some time on his hands: quite repetitive, I think.
