In 2009, Darksiders blindsided the industry and helped rekindle a flame for action-adventure games. After presenting a darker take on a dismal world and setting up a bitter war between Heaven and Hell, developer Vigil Games took their new series a step further by laying a solid gameplay foundation through a smart control scheme: A setup that allowed players to effortlessly switch between up-close melee combat, ranged combat, powerful special abilities, and smooth traversal through large dungeon environments.

As you’d expect, Darksiders 2 aims to expand the ideas of the original by adding more substance and adventure elements. Get ready players, Death is coming, and as said by War at the end of Darksiders 1, “War, I am war, and I will not be alone.”
