Darksiders

In a major departure from the rest of the franchise, Darksiders Genesis is a top-down, button-mashing action game that follows War and Strife, two of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. While the series has received much praise for its storyline, humour and simple but addictively fun gameplay – there was much uncertainty around how the new top-down style would translate to the franchise. Will this major change be a smooth transition or will it detract from an already stellar series? Let’s take a look and find out!

This year the Warmastered Edition of Darksiders is released at a discounted price of $19.99 or £14.99 and worth every penny. THQNordic and Vigil Games bring us a protagonist to right his wrong doing while doing it at 1080p resolution and 60 FPS and it feels like the right way to re-make a game.

Darksiders 2 for the Wii U is really good. If you like action games with dash of Zelda exploration and puzzles, then you should definitly check it out. Though, you might be wondering if the first game is any good. I have no idea since the game isn’t on the Wii U. That will change soon though! Darksiders Warmastered Edition will be coming to the Wii U in October. I really liked Darksiders 2 for the Wii U. I got…
