Let us once again delve into the depths of Darksiders... but this time, the past.

A Taste Of: Darksiders Genesis

Video Length: 26:55

Darksiders Genesis is, as said above, a prequel game to this series. And by prequel we mean aaaall the way back. All the way back to, well, Genesis. The Horseman have just finished clearing out the Nephilim, and are now being set on another task; kill Samael, one of the conspirators with the good ole big L himself. Joining us for the first time as a playable character, and for his effectively first appearance in the series, is Strife, aka Conquest, aka Pestilence. And his presence turns this game from a standard beat em up to a twin stick shooter... that is also still a beat em up at its core, completely with jumping puzzles and combo attacks, just all from a top down perspective.

To put it bluntly this game feels WEIRD, but surprisingly good. It's also multiplayer, so if you and a buddy have another copy of this you can play together. One of you is Strife, the other is War, a fitting combo. From what I've played of the game the two feel substantially different to play, War being far greatest at melee combat but obviously not having much in the way of range, whereas Strife's melee combat is a little finicky, but he of course has twin pistols so ranged is where he excels.

And that's it for today. Hope you all enjoyed, I'll see you all next time. Take care!
