What is Darksiders (Series)?

Darksiders is an action-adventure video game series developed by Vigil Games and published by THQ where players take control of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The series combines melee-focused hack and slash combat with exploration and puzzle-solving elements, all set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world.

In the games, an age-old conflict between Heaven and Hell brings about the End of Days before its due time. The incarnation of the Four Horsemen - War, Strife, Fury, and Death - are called forth as Heaven and Hell wage war on Earth. The storylines follow the Horsemen as they traverse various realms and battle angels, demons, and other foes in order to restore the balance between good and evil.

The gameplay focuses on third-person combat, using fast-paced hack and slash mechanics mixed with RPG elements like skill trees, equipment upgrades, and level-ups in order to boost stats and unlock new abilities. Players also come across platforming sections and environmental puzzles that require manipulation of the game world.

The series is known for its stylized graphics, elaborate designs for characters and environments, and its balance of intense action with adventure elements. The Darksiders franchise currently consists of three games - Darksiders (2010), Darksiders II (2012) and Darksiders III (2018) - along with comic books and novels that explore the universe and lore.
