About Darksiders™

✦ AI summary

Play as War, the first Horseman of the Apocalypse, stripped of his powers and framed for ending the world, as you tear through Heaven and Hell's armies to uncover the truth and exact vengeance across a devastated Earth. Combine brutal melee combat with supernatural abilities, wield an arsenal of divine and demonic weapons, and ride your phantom steed Ruin through apocalyptic wastelands while upgrading your powers and forging dangerous alliances with demons themselves.

Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. In the slaughter that ensued, the demonic forces defeated the heavenly hosts and laid claim to the Earth.

Brought before the sacred Charred Council, War is indicted for his crimes and stripped of his powers. Dishonored and facing his own death, War is given the opportunity to return to Earth to search for the truth and punish those responsible.

Hunted by a vengeful group of Angels, War must take on the forces of Hell, forge uneasy alliances with the very demons he hunts, and journey across the ravaged remains of the Earth on his quest for vengeance and vindication.
  • Apocalyptic Power – Unleash the wrath of War, combining brutal attacks and
    supernatural abilities to decimate all who stand in your way
  • Extreme Arsenal – Wield a devastating arsenal of angelic, demonic and Earthly
    weapons; and blaze a trail of destruction atop Ruin, War’s fiery phantom steed
  • Epic Quest – Battle across the wastelands and demon-infested dungeons of the
    decimated Earth in your quest for vengeance and redemption
  • Character Progression – Uncover powerful ancient relics, upgrade your weapons,
    unlock new abilities, and customize your gameplay style
  • Battle Heaven and Hell – Battle against all who stand in your way - from war-weary
    angelic forces to Hell’s hideous demon hordes

Players praise the game's quest design, character development, and rich lore, with some noting it captures classic adventure gaming with solid combat variety and puzzle-solving reminiscent of late 90s titles. However, significant technical issues plague the experience, with frequent crashes and performance problems making the game difficult or unplayable for many, and excessive backtracking frustrating those who manage to progress.

Given THQ Nordic's ruZZian moderator "Autentist", who denies / defends ruZZian atrocities in Ukraine, and THQ's protection of them, I can only recommend a boycott of all their titles. I tried to reach out to them to solve this, but the only thing that happened is that the moderator hid their location within their profile. A reply to my inquiry several months ago was never answered, which tells me that THQ simply wants to hide their support for the ruZZian invasion of Ukraine.

Old but Gold. Gameplay hack and slash mas com bastante variedade de moves e armas, com alguns elementos que lembram o primeiro God of War. Cheio de puzzles para serem resolvidos de diversas formas, desde blocos a serem arrastados, a espelhos e portais, bem naquele bom estilo dos jogos de aventura no fim dos anos 90 einício dos anos 2000, como Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver ou Tomb Raider. Não é "flashy" como alguns títulos atuais mas garante umas 30-40h de diversão (mais que o dobro disso se quiser fechar no Apocalyptic e pegar as conquistas). Recomendo!
