The game is loosely based on the book of Revelations in the Bible. Vigil took the concepts of the <a href="/horsemen-of-the-apocalypse/3015-4533/" data-ref-id="3015-4533">Four Horsemen</a>, the Apocalypse, Heaven and Hell, Angels and Demons, among other references, and created their own take and mythology on them.</p><p>Darksiders tells the story of <a href="/war/3005-997/" data-ref-id="3005-997">War</a>, one of the Four Horsemen who is blamed for the destruction of humanity in a premature battle between Heaven and Hell. The game sold well, estimated at 1.2 million units worldwide in the four weeks after release. Its success has led not only to a <a href="/darksiders-ii/3030-29941/" data-ref-id="3030-29941">sequel</a>, but also a planned film adaptation being written by Darksiders creator <a href="/joe-madureira/3040-27284/" data-ref-id="3040-27284">Joe Madureira</a>.</p><p>The game received generally positive reviews.

Critics lauded the game for being the "dark <a href="/the-legend-of-zelda/3025-9/" data-ref-id="3025-9">Zelda</a>" that <a href="/nintendo/3010-90/" data-ref-id="3010-90">Nintendo</a> will never make; praising the voice acting, combat, environments, and puzzle design.</p><p>Notably, the Watcher is voiced by <a href="../../mark-hamill/72-3248/" rel="nofollow">Mark Hamill</a>. Additionally of note is the initial screen tearing issue that the Xbox 360 version suffered from (now fixed via a patch).

Upon receiving a summon for the end times to begin, War throws himself into the midst of the battle between angels and demons and quickly finds out that he is the only Horsemen to have arrived on Earth. While fighting against both sides, War mysteriously loses his powers and is eventually beaten by one of the Destroyer's chosen, <a href="/straga/3005-14546/" data-ref-id="3005-14546">Straga</a>.

For his actions, War is sentenced to death.

Before he can leave however, War is saddled with 'The Watcher', a demon entity who will act as the eyes and ears of the Charred Council, and with whom rests the power to destroy War at a whim. Upon returning to Earth, War discovers that 100 years have passed since the Apocalypse, and sets out on his quest to discover the truth behind what happened to his fellow Horsemen, why the Apocalypse was brought about early, and to what end these actions have been set in motion.</p><p>Earth is now a desolate wasteland, barely resembling its former shape.

Along the way, Samael grants War some abilities to help him complete his quest. He even helps War tap into his dormant powers and assume his chaos form, at the expense of the Watcher getting a gauntlet to the face.</p><p>War sets out to find each of the Four Chosen. The first is <a href="/tiamat/3005-12513/" data-ref-id="3005-12513">Tiamat</a>, the bat queen. On the path to the second of the Four Chosen, War meets Ulthane, an Old One and a legendary weapon-smith. After a small Pigeon (angel) killing contest, he asks War to prove himself by killing <a href="/the-griever/3005-14640/" data-ref-id="3005-14640">the Griever</a>, second of the chosen. Upon his return, War finds that Ulthane has made him a gun; Mercy.</p><p>On his journey to find the <a href="/the-stygian/3005-14548/" data-ref-id="3005-14548">Stygian</a>, third of the Chosen, War comes across a demon arena. After some fighting, the demon leader emerges riding on War's former mount, the shadowy steed Ruin. War manages to defeat the demon lord but Ruin, not recognizing his friend and master, proceeds to attack him and knocking him around. The Watcher orders War to kill Ruin seeing as he seems to have lost his mind, but he refuses, and instead sets his sword aside and stands his ground. Ruin proceeds to charge at War and at the last second phases through him, having recognized him again. Thusly mounted, War becomes a Horseman again.</p><p>Before his fight with the last of the tower guardians, <a href="/silitha/3005-14547/" data-ref-id="3005-14547">Silitha</a> the Broodmother, she tells War that Samael was misleading him; the Chosen were not guarding the tower, but in fact were guarding against Samael's return to power. That power which the Destroyer stripped and placed inside the hearts of the Chosen. She warned that if Samael regains his power, War would find a bigger threat in him than all of the Chosen combined. War foolishly ignores her and proceeds with the fight.</p><p>After War returns all the Chosen's hearts to Samael, he boasts that he has become like a god, that he could kill War in an instant if he so chooses. Yet he still grants War passage to the Black Tower as promised as he empathizes with War's quest for revenge. Samael opens a portal to the tower and just before War steps through, the Horseman declares that they will meet again.</p><p>Finally in the Black Tower, War finds Azrael, the Angel of Death, imprisoned inside. He reveals everything about the events that led up to the premature battle between Heaven and Hell, about Abbadon's and Ulthane's involvement. Abbadon, Lord of the Hellguard angels, decided to launch a premature strike on the forces of hell and enlisted the others' help to break six of the seven seals that would start the final battle. The seventh, which if broken would call the Horsemen, was to be left intact. He was sure that his armies would decimate the forces of Hell before the war even began, and they would reforge the seals as if nothing had happened. It would look like Hell had started the war and Heaven responded. After all, who would the Council believe; Heaven's word or that of the "Prince of Lies"? However, they were surprised to discover that by the time the Hellguard arrived on Earth, the entire military might of Hell had already arrived, and thus, butchered the Hellguard before the rest of Heaven's armies could arrive, thereby winning the war in the name of Evil.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/7465/1294613-azrael.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-1294613" data-size="medium" data-ratio="0.55034482758621" data-width="725" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 725px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:55.0%" href="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/7465/1294613-azrael.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-1294613"><img alt="Azrael leads War into the Garden of Eden." src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" data-width="480" class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/7465/1294613-azrael.jpg" data-srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/7465/1294613-azrael.jpg 725w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/7465/1294613-azrael.jpg 480w"><noscript><img alt="Azrael leads War into the Garden of Eden." src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/7465/1294613-azrael.jpg" srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/7465/1294613-azrael.jpg 725w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/7465/1294613-azrael.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" data-width="480"></noscript></a><figcaption>Azrael leads War into the Garden of Eden.</figcaption></figure><p>With these developments, War decides his deal with the Charred Council is complete; he was innocent. The Watcher decides otherwise, that War must do his duty to restore Balance and kill Azrael for breaking the Law of the Council. Instead, War proceeds to free Azrael, and defeat <a href="/straga/3005-14546/" data-ref-id="3005-14546">Straga</a>, last and most powerful of the Chosen. Afterwards, Azrael takes him into the Garden of Eden to seek the Tree of Knowledge. There, War is granted the "gift" of truth and receives a vision. He sees the events that lead to the Apocalypse, the fate of Abbadon, and things that are yet to come.</p><p>When Abbadon was killed by Straga, he was surrounded in darkness and a mysterious, sinister female voice gave him the choice to "Serve in Heaven, or rule in Hell?". Abbadon chose the latter and took up the mantle of the Destroyer, now leading the forces of Hell and guarding the seventh seal. War also sees <a href="/uriel/3005-17037/" data-ref-id="3005-17037">Uriel</a> (Abbadon's second-in-command, who harbors romantic feelings for him and blames War for his death) leading the remaining Hellguard against the Destroyer, and failing. War is shown that the Charred Council foresaw Abbadon's plan for a preemptive strike. They needed to quell Abbadon's defiance but could not send the Horsemen against him and the others without proof since the seals were reforged. The Horsemen would see it as murder, not justice. War was known for his temper and pride, and the Council framed him knowing that he would "slaughter everyone in his way" to clear his name. Finally, he sees himself being killed, stabbed in the back by a large blade. As War recovers from the vision, he finds the handle of the same blade in his hand.</p><p>Azrael provides one more piece of wisdom before War sets out to face the Destroyer; the only weapon capable of killing The Destroyer is the Armageddon Blade. The same blade the angels used to break the seals, and Ulthane's greatest work. It was shattered by the Destroyer and hidden in the realm of shadows, War needed to gather the pieces and bring them back to Ulthane to make it anew. During the search for the pieces, War is confronted by Uriel, who challenges him to an ancient pact, an unbreakable vow that will not end until one of them has died by the other's hand. War defeats Uriel in combat, but spares her life to keep her as an ally - for now. Whether or not he wants to, eventually he is going to have to kill her or be killed <i>by</i> her to break the spell upon them.</p><p>With the completed Armageddon Blade in hand, Azrael sends War to face the Destroyer, a massive fiery dragon.</p><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/7465/1294618-picture_1.png" data-ref-id="1300-1294618" data-size="medium" data-ratio="0.43483275663206" data-width="867" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 867px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:43.5%" href="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/7465/1294618-picture_1.png" data-ref-id="1300-1294618"><img alt="The Destroyer." src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" data-width="480" class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/7465/1294618-picture_1.png" data-srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/7465/1294618-picture_1.png 867w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/7465/1294618-picture_1.png 480w"><noscript><img alt="The Destroyer." src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/7465/1294618-picture_1.png" srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/7465/1294618-picture_1.png 867w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/7465/1294618-picture_1.png 480w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" data-width="480"></noscript></a><figcaption>The Destroyer.</figcaption></figure><p>Abbadon offers that War join him, arguing the corruption of the Council and that he will be pursued by both Heaven and Hell. He gives War the same choice that he was given "Serve in Heaven, or rule in Hell?", to which War answers: "I choose what once a coward did not", and proceeds to fight, victoriously. Having killed Abbadon, War reaches for the seventh seal, but the Watcher constrains him and taunts him as he takes the Seventh Seal out of his reach, War's ticket to freedom. Seeing what is happening, Uriel stabs War in the back - simultaneously breaking the hold the Watcher has over him and fulfilling their death pact - and then breaks the Seventh Seal during a strike on the Watcher. In addition to severing the Watcher's right arm, breaking the Seventh Seal summons the Four Horsemen: this means that War is resurrected, all of his strength and power restored. Free of the Charred Council's control, War stands up and kills the Watcher. Now an enemy of Heaven, Hell, <i>and</i> the Charred Council, Uriel asks if he will fight the entire universe alone. War lifts the broken seal in his hand saying; "No. Not alone." Three comets streak across the sky, signalling the arrival of the other three Horsemen.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>The combat centres primarily on powerful combos and specialty fatalities. War can equip a gear item alongside his primary weapon, allowing him to switch on the fly between the Crossblade and the Abyssal Chain, for example. Using powerful combos allows War to fill his Wrath Meter which he can then use to unleash powerful Wrath attacks. Wrath attacks include the Blade Geyser attack, where War stabs the ground and makes half-a-dozen blades come up from the ground and damage enemies around him; Stone Skin, which decreases the damage War takes, and increases the damage he dishes out; Immolation, which causes everything War touches to become engulfed in flames; and Pestilence, which slowly saps away surrounding enemies' health. War can also use special fatalities. For instance, War can jump from demonic bat to demonic bat, killing each one without touching the ground. War will also perform more stylized fatalities on bosses and mid-bosses without the need for the derivative quick time events. It should also be noted that War is actually invulnerable during these execution animations. The player can use this to advantage, interrupting the attacks of enemies in order to slow down the combat a little. An example of such an execution is shown in the Church dungeon area where War fights The Jailor, a massive hulk of flesh that smashes cages on the ground. War must attack with the Crossblade, targeting multiple weak points on his body to expose the smaller creature that is controlling the behemoth.</p><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/1048/1045010-darksiders_04.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-1045010" data-size="medium" data-ratio="0.50869565217391" data-width="920" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 920px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:50.9%" href="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/1048/1045010-darksiders_04.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-1045010"><img alt="Combat in Darksiders." src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" data-width="480" class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/1048/1045010-darksiders_04.jpg" data-srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/1048/1045010-darksiders_04.jpg 920w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/1048/1045010-darksiders_04.jpg 480w"><noscript><img alt="Combat in Darksiders." src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/1048/1045010-darksiders_04.jpg" srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/1048/1045010-darksiders_04.jpg 920w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/1048/1045010-darksiders_04.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" data-width="480"></noscript></a><figcaption>Combat in Darksiders.</figcaption></figure><p>Environments in Darksiders are split between large hub areas that offer plenty of room for exploration and smaller, interior dungeon-like areas such as a subway system, derelict buildings and a church that is set up as a demon's central base of operations. War will traverse each of these dungeons killing bosses and mini-bosses to progress throughout the game as well as retrieving gear items. Gear items are featured equipment which War needs in order to open new areas within the large open hubs.</p><p>New equipment can also be purchased by selling souls collected by War's Soul Harvest ability to a Soul Trader Demon, Vulgrim. This demon will trade souls and artifacts, the only applicable currency in a post-human world, for new abilities, weapons and armor. These souls can be collected primarily in combat, but can also be found through exploration. Weapons can also be customized by collecting upgrades throughout the game. These upgrades can be equipped and swapped between War's arsenal of weapons. Armor can also be upgraded into the Abyssal Armor by finding the ten pieces throughout the game (the new armor is immediately worn by War upon finding the final piece). With this new armor, War also changes in appearance, from his red, blue, and black, to a more bad-ass gray and black with red-eyes. Health and Wrath capacity can also be increased by collected containers scattered throughout the world, defeating main bosses, and from Vulgrim.</p><p>Weapons and armor aren't the only thing at War's disposal, for he can call on his spectral steed, Ruin. War is able to summon and dispel him on the fly with the touch of the shoulder buttons, and enables him to traverse areas he could not on foot. Ruin has access to a dash ability. War's sword attacks also increase drastically in power while he is on Ruin. War's sword, Chaoseater, accumulates chaos as he kills enemies. Once it is full, he can then transform into a large and powerful form (his Chaos Form), for a limited time, and can lay waste to most enemies with ease.</p><h2>Souls</h2><p>There are three types of souls that can be found in the world of Darksiders, and they can either be found inside <a href="/treasure-chest/3055-517/" data-ref-id="3055-517">chests</a> (the type of soul inside each chest will be clearly identifiable by its color), or collected from enemies upon their defeat:</p><ul><li><b>Green Souls</b> - these fill the <u>Health</u> bar.</li><li><b>Yellow Souls</b> - these fill the <u>Wrath</u> meter.</li><li><b>Blue Souls</b> - the game’s form of <u>Currency.</u></li></ul><h2>Enemies</h2><h3>Angels</h3><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-1543740" data-size="small" data-ratio="0.94444444444444" data-width="900" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 900px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:94.4%" href="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-1543740"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320" class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg" data-srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg 900w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg 480w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg 320w"><noscript><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg" srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg 900w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg 480w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/6/62890/1543740-angel_champion.jpg 320w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320"></noscript></a></figure><p>The Lords of Heaven are far less numerous on Earth than their demonic enemies, and they have been fighting to take back the dead Earth ever since the Apocalypse.

The game went into development about five years before its release. After founding Vigil Games, the designers were very drawn to the concept of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Although the full development cycle didn't begin until two years later, many ideas and concepts came up during this two year period.</p><p>Most of the gameplay ideas that many consumers and critics said appeared to be taken from other games such as <a href="/god-of-war/3025-244/" data-ref-id="3025-244">God of War</a> and <a href="/the-legend-of-zelda/3025-9/" data-ref-id="3025-9">Zelda</a> were initially designed before the release of said games, according to development director of Vigil Games, <a href="/david-adams/3040-7052/" data-ref-id="3040-7052">David Adams</a>. Adams also stated that they did not have the specific intention to be similar to any other game, nor did they have any particular game that served as a source of inspiration. Instead, Vigil simply wanted to make a darker and more mature action adventure game.</p><p>According to post-release developer interviews, a significant amount of gameplay elements were removed before completion, mostly due to space or time constraints. These included items such as the Venom of Apollyon (described as "like a sticky grenade"), a dungeon based on light and dark themes, and an item which allowed the player to control undead armies. Another idea that was cut was Vigil's initial idea of a four-player co-op game, which they quickly found was "ridiculous."</p><p>Due to the cancellation of their own game, THQ contracted <a href="/silicon-knights-inc/3010-1004/" data-ref-id="3010-1004">Silicon Knights</a> to help Vigil out with asset creation during development of the game.</p><h2>Voice Talents</h2><ul><li>War - <a href="/liam-obrien/3040-97533/" data-ref-id="3040-97533">Liam O'Brien</a></li><li>The Watcher - <a href="/mark-hamill/3040-3248/" data-ref-id="3040-3248">Mark Hamil</a></li><li>Vulgrim - <a href="/phil-lamarr/3040-89594/" data-ref-id="3040-89594">Phil LaMarr</a></li><li>Samael - Vernon Wells</li><li>Azrael - <a href="/keith-szarabajka/3040-31078/" data-ref-id="3040-31078">Keith Szarabajka</a></li><li>Abaddon - <a href="/troy-baker/3040-93651/" data-ref-id="3040-93651">Troy Baker</a></li><li>Uriel - <a href="/moon-bloodgood/3040-15122/" data-ref-id="3040-15122">Moon Bloodgood</a></li><li>Tiamat - <a href="../../lani-minella/72-1961/" rel="nofollow">Lani Minella</a></li><li>Silitha - Lani Menella</li><li>Straga - <a href="/troy-baker/3040-93651/" data-ref-id="3040-93651">Troy Baker</a></li><li>Ulthane - <a href="/jb-blanc/3040-89365/" data-ref-id="3040-89365">JB Blanc</a></li><li>Charred Council - <a href="/fred-tatasciore/3040-63568/" data-ref-id="3040-63568">Fred Tatasciore</a></li><li>Tortured Gates - <a href="/troy-baker/3040-93651/" data-ref-id="3040-93651">Troy Baker</a></li></ul><h2>Warmastered Edition</h2><figure data-align="right" data-size="small" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_super/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png" data-ref-id="1300-2873384" data-ratio="1.4227799227799" data-width="1554" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 1554px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:142.3%" href="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_super/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png" data-ref-id="1300-2873384"><img alt="Warmastered Edition key art" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" sizes="(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px" data-width="449" class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png" data-srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png 1554w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_super/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png 1349w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png 674w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png 449w"><noscript><img alt="Warmastered Edition key art" src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png" srcset="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png 1554w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_super/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png 1349w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png 674w, http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/21/217562/2873384-dswme_key-artwork.png 449w" sizes="(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px" data-width="449"></noscript></a><figcaption>Warmastered Edition key art</figcaption></figure><p>A remastered version of the game from Nordic Games for the subsequent console generation arrived at the end of 2016 on PS4, Xbox One, Wii U and PC specifically.
