Darksiders 2 – a New Horseman, Death

Written by Quaisha T

Is it wrong to play apocalyptic games knowing an entire species existence is on the line? For me, it’s more of curiosity – just to see how much survival skills will kick in and who the ultimate villain is that wants the race on a silver platter. But enough of my own gaming preference. Darksiders is a series about The Four Horsemen trying to preserve order and enact justice amidst chaos from the endless war for the throne of the cosmos between Heaven and Hell.

The first Darksiders featured a horseman named War, though a noble one, was caught in the middle of the cosmic war and framed for starting The End War. The second Darksiders starts around the same time frame of War and his journey but with a new horseman, Death. Vigil Games want to give a more comprehensive view of the series’ mythology while playing as Death. Players got a taste of what was going on in Darksiders 1 but it gets more compelling in the sequel.

Death’s mission is a critical one – he is outraged by accusations targeting War as the barer of the human genocide, therefore he seeks proof of his brother’s innocence but has to work in secret. Death will have to explore various regions that seem like a walk for a day in the life of Dante from Dante’s Inferno.
