Darksiders Genesis

This is an action game for players who like to cut through everything and still want fresh mechanics. The world is grim and hostile, all hellish landscapes and endless war between angels and demons, and you're in the middle of it, playing as a pair of horsemen who have to clean up other people's schemes. What to expect: - Early on, your time goes to feeling the difference between War with his heavy blade and Strife, who keeps his distance with a bow and guns, and learning to swap between them mid-fight. - Playing co-op with a friend makes it even better: one takes the melee, the other covers from range, and exploring the levels together turns into a fun mess. - Unlike many slashers, combat here rests on weapon and ability combos rather than just long strings of attacks, so upgrades noticeably change how you play. - The story campaign covers events before the original game, so fans of the series will enjoy seeing how it all began.

Carrying out their orders are THE HORSEMEN, Nephilim (powerful beings spawned from the unnatural union of angels and demons) who have pledged themselves to the Council and been granted immense power. However, this power came at a tragic cost: the Horsemen were ordered to use their newfound strength to wipe out the rest of their kind. What followed was a bloody battle on Eden where the Horsemen, obeying the will of the Council, annihilated the Nephilim. Still reeling from the events on Eden, WAR and STRIFE have been given a new assignment -- LUCIFER, the enigmatic and deceptive demon king, has been plotting to upset the Balance by granting power to master demons throughout Hell. War and Strife must hunt down these masters, gather information, and ultimately fight their way through a tangled, demonic conspiracy that threatens to forever upset the Balance and unravel all of creation. DARKSIDERS: GENESIS is an action/adventure game that tears its way through hordes of demons, angels, and everything in-between on its way to Hell and back with guns blazing and swords swinging.
