Playing solo requires that you switch between the two characters through an effortless task of a simple button combination. Unfortunately, my review play-through was done entirely solo but co-op is definitely something I’m looking forward to when more people have the game. You can couch co-op locally with a friend through split-screen gameplay, or online with one player taking control of Strife while the other plays as War. It is once again through his Serpent Hole the Riders travel.ĭarksiders Genesis is playable entirely solo, but it’s also the first Darksiders game to feature co-op. This time Vulgrim is centrally located but he can also be solicited through the Summoning Stones which are located all over the maps. Of course, our old friend, Vulgrim, The Demon Merchant and eater of souls, once again returns to supply the Horsemen with wares and upgrades. Controlling Strife feels like a mix of traditional Hack and Slash with a bit of Twin Stick Shooter which is incredibly fun. While he’s obviously not as strong as War, his ranged attacks are useful in many combat situations. Along with the aforementioned Ghost Hook, Strife possesses Void Bombs and the Aether Spark. Strife’s handguns can be equipped with various types of ammo like the Thunderclap variation that fires bolts of lightning. He is equipped akimbo style with his beloved handguns, Mercy and Redemption. Strife also known as the rider of the white horse is playable for the first time. The Chaoseater can also be enhanced with various perks such as Vampiric Rune which continuously spins and drains health from enemies while dealing damage. Throughout the game, he acquires the Vorpal Blade, the Tremor Gauntlet, and the Ghost Hook which is the only equipment he shares with Strife. He’s once again equipped with his mighty blade known as the Chaoseater which he brandishes as ferocious as Thor does his hammer. War also known as the rider of the red horse and star of the very first Darksiders returns as the loyal servant of the Council. This sets up the catalyst of the plot as War and Strife must track down these powerful demons to foil Lucifer’s diabolical scheme which will force them to return to their destroyed Eden. Lucifer’s plan to tilt the balance towards the dark side is initiated by granting power to various demons throughout hell. Still haunted by that bloody battle that almost completely wiped out the Nephilim, War and Strife are called upon with a new assignment, one that involves that troublemaker Lucifer, who is dead set on upsetting the balance. Upholding this pledge forced them to slaughter their fellow Nephilim on Eden by request of the Council. In return, the horsemen were granted great power to keep this balance no matter what the consequences are. They have been appointed by the Council to uphold the balance of good and evil. The four horsemen of Darksiders were born from the union of a demon and an angel, this unlikely pairing spawned the species known as the Nephilim. Genesis departs from the traditional Darksiders third-person Action-Adventure RPG and opts for a Diablo-styled Dungeon Crawler that works incredibly well. ![]() ![]() In another Darksiders first, you are able to play as two horsemen in the same game, as War from the original Darksiders returns. After the long and uncertain wait from 2012’s Darksiders 2 to the release of Darksiders 3 in 2018, Darksiders Genesis is a welcome surprise that also gives players the first chance to play as the fourth and final horseman, Strife. After the stumble that was Darksiders 3, a spinoff manages to breathe new life into the franchise.ĭarksiders Genesis is a spinoff from the main franchise that takes place prior to the events of the first game. ![]()
