Darksiders

Also known as: Darksiders: Wrath of War

In spite of lifting nearly every gameplay element from other, often better games, Darksiders still succeeds at bringing these disparate threads together into a brutally satisfying whole. It’s also a blast to explore even at its low points, and if the idea of a Zelda with a more “mature” bent and better combat catches your interest, you’ll want to check this out.

Darksiders
Zelda meets God of War in a postapocalyptic wasteland. Is it a heavenly mashup, or a ripoff from hell?

Darksiders – hands-on
Heaven or Hell? More like Purgatory

There’s a hell of a lot of meat to Darksiders. In a literal sense, having played a huge chunk of it we’ve chopped off thousands of limbs, dissected hordes of gigantic spiders, and torn countless flying insects in half – but it’s meaty in other ways, too. Taking a large amount of ‘inspiration’ from Zelda and God of War, it offers an unusual blend of exploration, puzzle-solving and frequent gory combat. » Read Full Darksiders preview

And there was given unto him a great sword – so says chapter six, verse four of The Book of Revelations while describing the arrival of War – one of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. This is the inspiration behind THQ and Vigil Games’ Darksiders: Wrath of War – the slash-‘em up that aims to steal thunder from that other god of war, Kratos. » Read Full Darksiders preview
Darksiders: Wrath of War
The apocalypse never looked so good
Apr 04, 2008
War is having a pretty bad day. As one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it was his job to help bring about the end of the world, and from the war torn environments we saw in an early build of Darksiders: Wrath of War, it looks like he did this job well. But it turns out that War and his horse-loving partners in evil have been bamboozled into bringing about the end of the world ahead of schedule. Now War finds him alone, stripped of his powers and stuck in the middle of worldwide battle between angels and demons. » Read Full Darksiders preview

War gets down, in this brutal Zelda-wannabe
Aug 01, 2007
Though it's drawing a lot of comparisons to God of War, according to the developers, Darksiders was originally envisioned as a "badass Zelda." You play - here comes one of the reasons for the comparison - as War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Demons have destroyed the Earth, and you've been separated from your cohorts. It's your job to explore the ravaged world and reunite with your allies - hacking, slashing, jumping and solving puzzles along the way. All of the usual gameplay » Read Full Darksiders preview
