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. Furthermore, it introduces the fourth and last horseman STRIFE, as well as Co-op gameplay for the first time in the history of the franchise.

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

Strong art style and solid soundtrack but the gameplay gets repetitive fast. Combat is fun at first but doesn’t have much depth. Co-op is also messy, the second player kept losing progress, which eventually stopped us

Plays like Darksiders but from a different perspective. I enjoyed it, but there were a lot of bugs I came across. Mainly enemies and yourself clipping out of bounds randomly. But it wasn't enough to ruin the experience.

🌀 As someone who's not a huge fan of this franchise (and even when this genre is made in isometric view), I'm surprised it sometimes gets truly negative reviews. It plays nicely, has variety, and looks good. The

Darksiders Genesis is a game. It's part of the Darksiders franchise. It tries to be a Darksiders game, but it's not a very good one. Darksiders Genesis is sort of a mix of Diablo-esque top-down loot games and just a

This is a fun game, especially if you are playing co-op. There is local co-op splitscreen as well, which I greatly appreciate, and you can do everything with another player. While the game does have a top down camera,
