Description

Inspired by the popular comic book series produced by Top Cow Productions, Inc., The Darkness II is an intense first person shooter that delivers a twisted and gripping narrative of tragedy, modern crime drama, and supernatural horror.

Players will be taken down the brutal and personal path of Jackie Estacado, head of a New York crime family and wielder of an ancient and ruthless force of chaos and destruction known as The Darkness.

It’s been two years since Jackie Estacado used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend’s murder. He’s been unable to shake the memory of Jenny’s death since bottling up his supernatural power and now The Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack by a mysterious organization known as the Brotherhood heralds the start of a full-scale war and opens the door for The Darkness to reemerge, setting Jackie on a journey to hell and worse.

Key Features

One of the 2010's sleeper FPS games! It reminds me a lot of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, good shooter with unique gimmicks and a clean comic art style. p.s. If you get stuck in the air vents as the minion, enable V-Sync

This game is absolute peak..a true classic, love the comic book art style, and the mafia-esque/supernatural feel to it. A very unique game in a sea of first-person shooters, kinda reminds me of how simple yet fun games

The game is pretty good, with a very interesting plot and two endings, each of which can be replayed if needed. There's no real variety of weapons, but the demonic creatures on the side are something special; you can

I really enjoyed playing this game when I bought it years ago, and I still enjoyed it this year when I played through it again achievement hunting. Although I'm not a fan of cell shading, it worked well in this game.
