Darksiders - Making A Violent Mockery Of Angels And Demons

Making a violent mockery of angels and demons in Darksiders: Warmastered Edition

- Aaron Potter

‘It’s like Zelda.’ Now call me crazy, but I can’t help but feel that over the years these three words have never done the first Darksiders justice, incorrectly rendering this stylish (and brutal) action adventure as little more than an inferior take on its contemporaries. It’s simply not the case. That’s why, to prove this tact, I recently thought it worth diving back into Vigil Games’ cult classic hack-and-slasher in the lead up to its upcoming prequel game. Alongside his brother and new horseman Strife, War will once again be back in the saddle for Darksiders Genesis. And if his efforts in this awfully titled Warmastered Edition of the original are anything to go by, that game will be all the better for it.
