A remastered version of the 2012 release, Darksiders II. Awakened by the End of
Days, Death, the most feared of the legendary Four Horsemen, embarks upon a quest to
restore mankind, and redeem his brother's name. Along the way, the Horseman
discovers that there are far worse things than an earthly Apocalypse, and that an
ancient grudge may threaten all of Creation. Darksiders II follows the exploits of
Death, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, in an action-packed tale that runs
parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game. This epic journey propels Death
across an expansive gameworld as he tries to redeem his brother, War, the horseman
blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse in Darksiders. Like the original
Darksiders game before it, the second iteration of the series is primarily a hack
'n slash adventure. The game takes place across netherworld environments,
including 'The White city', an outpost where angels live, and
'The Eternal Throne', a floating fortress where the Lords of the Dead
stand guard over souls that need to be cleansed. Although Death is the most feared of
the Four Horsemen, his physical abilities are very different than his brother, War.
Death is far more nimble, and relies on a combination of melee and ranged attacks. In
combat Death's primary weapon is his huge iconic scythe, with a wide range of
other weapons and usable items that must be gathered as the game progresses. Weapons can
be dual-wielded, upgradable armor can be acquired for protection and Death has access to
his terrifying and powerful mount, Despair.
