Darksiders Warmastered Edition is a remastered version of the original Darksiders released in 2010. It's a third-person hack-and-slash action-adventure.

The game opens with a explanation of the universe of the game; For eons, heaven and hell were at war, until "The Council" brought the war to a standstill. The Council had their own four-person army to take down anyone from either side who broke the law.

The army? The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

After a period of time, humans arose, and it was predicted that one day Heaven, Hell, and Humans would engage in a final battle when the seventh seal was broken (a lot of repurposed religious imagery here).

The game opens to a scene of world wide devastation, as meteor strikes across the planet turn out to be monster demons attacking humans, angels attack monsters, humans running around and dying a lot, and then you show up.

"You" being one of the Four Horsemen: War.

Angry looking dude with glowing eyes, long blond hair, and a huge sword. You take down demons and angels left and right, until you get smushed by a big demon in a boss battle.

Then you show up in front of the council, and they're kind of unhappy, and blaming you for the battle, as you weren't supposed to show up until the seventh seal was broken, and the seventh seal is intact.

Basically, War has been set up.

Playing with keyboard and mouse, the controls feel a little bit sloppy, and habitually going for the shift key to sprint doesn't work well when the shift key is set to focus fire.

With a little bit more playtime it might feel a little bit better, but I don't know if it's because it's a seven year old remaster of a thirteen year old game, or it's just overly bombastic, but it's not grabbing me and yelling "keep playing", but there's something interesting there.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition is:

Updated my Darksiders fanfic today! It took a while for me to get this chapter done but my health must come first and I need to also have the motivation. No point working on something if I don't feel like it!

I also finally updated my Darksiders fanfiction. Coincidentally some desperate primitive begged me to update because they powered through the chapters like wildfire. Well, I didn't do it for them. https://www.wattpad.com/story/247623757?utm_source=android&utm_medium=org.joinmastodon.android&utm_content=share_reading&wp_page=reading&wp_uname=Emi-Didact&wp_originator=F%2Bfp5E7gGGZqO7dhBISz1QcVV0t5YIcRC7sXKHjDC1HLTj8YFemYcgAyTnbgV%2BU23DJ2iRkR%2BTQdZbRQ6dyPQxrDj6fk85IbfNY6CJBYLLcg5QmOJpQtj5tISvvdp53F

Has anyone found a good genre name for #Zelda &sim. (#Darksiders, #Tunic, #Oceanhorn, #Phoenotopia, #Fairune, #BlossomTales, #Eastward &c.)

Action adventure sounds too broad. (Plus it also contaima dungeon crawling and puzzles)

Action RPG is equally broad, and Zelda is extremely slim on RPG elements.

Zelda-like sounds too narrow/non-descriptive.

So I booted up #Darksiders 1, just to see whether my memories were skewed by rose tinted glasses or not and oh boy, that game is still miles better than the second installment.

I cannot decide whether it is better than D3, mainly because I like to gender swap in games and I love soulsian world design. But the first one still might come on top, due to the story.

@chrisonline Very cool! Well once you're finished the games, there's a whole world of #Darksiders #Books to explore if you're interested 😉

Finally found time to play the fourth #game of #Darksiders !
Darksiders Genesis

The first start was a little bit strange, but after a while I like it a lot.
Different than the others but really good.

The #Darksiders games are a must-play if you like #Zelda. I'd also recommend #Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, and, among the digital titles, #Reaper: Tale of a Pale Swordsman, as well as #Dust: An Elysian Tale.

For co-op: #Kirby Star Allies, #Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

@Ruth_Mottram I will always advocate for #ARMS (with motion controls!) on #NintendoSwitch.

Perhaps some #metroidvania games would be a good choice as a mix of action and puzzles?

I find the #Darksiders series as a great Zelda-like with more macabre, teenage-angsty tones and over the top.

Muchos los conoceréis por ser el directo y dibujante de #Darksiders , #BattleChasers o el reciente #RuinedKing pero ... ¿sabíais que #JoeMadureira también estuvo trabajando para algunas de las series más exitosas de #Marvel ? Participó en varios números de #X-Men , #Deadpool , o #Excalibur

Hoy quería compartir con todos vosotros algunos sus obras con la esperanza de que vosotros compartáis vuestros autores favoritos. ¡Que este toot se retroalimente y todos descubramos nuevos dibujantes! Así que compartirlo para que tenga mayor alcance y poder beneficiarnos todos.

I finally beat #Darksiders II last night on stream. Not an easy accomplishment as you can see in the video below. 42+ hours minus the sidequests. Considering I #stream on average 40 hours a month, I thought the game wouldn't end.

Great #videogame though, I hope to go back offline and finish the side quests. I will have to play Darksiders III at some point.

Next game on my list to actually finish? #Darksiders 2. It's another game I started ages ago and just never sat down and finished because it meant I "had" to be home and on the couch to play it. Having the freedom to go sit somewhere else and let my wife have the big TV, and then dock it when she's finished, is really helping me get through my backlog.

Je me fais la série de JV Darksiders, j'aime bien l'univers. D'abord Genesis, puis Warmastered, puis je recommence le II que j'avais déjà fait, et je terminerai logiquement par le III. #darksiders

Still a #wip of #Strife and #Death from #Darksiders
