![]() ![]() Thankfully, it’s not hard to get around after you meet old Vulgrim. War will need all the life and wrath shards he can find to become stronger so backtracking will be a must. The lands of this smited world are expansive and will require all your newfound abilities to uncover the many items hidden within it. Most of these items have not just puzzle solving abilities but combat implications as well. Then there are some newer elements that come into play like platforming similar to Uncharted and the Voidwalker which is homage to the Portal gun. Crossblade (boomerang) check, Abyssmal Chain (hookshot) check, and Ruin (epona) check, all very reminiscent of Link’s gadgets. But its puzzle elements and dungeon designs harken back to Nintendo’s classic. The combat in its basic form seems similar to God of War or Devil May Cry. The best way to describe this adventure is a mature Legend of Zelda. Now with the Earth destroyed and in Hell’s rule, War convinces the Council to let him clear his name and find the true culprit that unleashed this conflict. That not all the seals had been broken and he rode on his own. Also, War has been blamed for its onset by the Charred Council. He awakens to find that it’s been 100 years since his battle with Straga and the beginning of Armageddon. War tries his best to beat the beast but is weak and falls as well. As War approaches Straga rises and kills Abaddon. Arriving at the center of the city War finds the angel general Abaddon and his second in command Uriel fighting the demon horde. Angels fight demons, demons beset humans, and War judges all. Meteors pummel the earth and the once great metropolis he stands in has been reduced to hell on earth. The apocalypse is upon us! The seven seals have been broken and the four horsemen have been summoned. Say your prayers boys and girls, War has arrived and with him comes judgment for all! The best elements from some of the most iconic games all rolled up in a gritty post apocalyptic setting. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Darksiders is a love letter to all that is awesome in third person action adventure gaming.
