The frame rate does alternate between smooth and a little rough.
DARKSIDERS 2 DLC WEAPONS AND ARMOR PS4
It may not be the PS4 or Xbox One, but for the most part it holds its own. The Switch is at least the 7th platform to see this game. This is good because Death looks like a serious heavy metal caricature, it’s nice to have some levity while they throw out a lot of serious sounding lore. Conversations can be surprisingly witty or snarky at times. The voice work is also pretty good just like the first game. There’s not much to say about the sound, the music sounds good throughout and fits the game. Chances are you’re not going back to Darksiders 2 for the fancy graphics, but the style and worlds built around the game are still appealing to me. Originally a last gen title, the Switch edition can vary in quality, from nice and crisp visuals to the less detailed. With the exaggerated designs it’s hard not to like the over the top visuals. His style can also be seen in Battle Chasers (also out on the Switch). The visuals of Darksiders have always maintained a stylised look from creator Joe Madureira, who is also a comic book artist. If you’re stuck in an area where you can’t call on Despair or stuck doing a giant ball rolling/box moving puzzle, you’ll also be in despair as you lamely jog around. This is good because Death feels so slow to get anywhere. When you’re not in the dungeons you’ll be out exploring the big open areas with your horse Despair. It took me a while to remember to actually use these skills in combat after just getting used to the rhythm of light and heavy attacks and dodging, but the further into the game they become much more useful. There is even a skill tree as you choose between sinking skill points into more physical attacks or the ability to raise the dead and have them help fight. It was a nice addition that you have a choice.ĭarksiders 2 also brings in an RPG element, as Death gains experience and can level up.
Personally I liked the way that attack combos flowed better with a faster weapon. There are also smaller weapons like claws/arm blades that are faster than even the scythe, but do less damage and have less range. You can use a large heavy axe as the secondary heavy weapon, they’re sluggish but do big damage. With the exploration and dungeons of a Zelda and the hack and slash combat of GOW, it turns out it’s a great combo.
DARKSIDERS 2 DLC WEAPONS AND ARMOR SERIES
The Darksiders series has often been seen as a mashup of Zelda and God of War style games. While Death always retains his Scythes, there are a number of secondary weapons that are used as the heavy attack. Across the 20-30 hours, you’ll be finding, equipping, swapping and using a wide variety of weapons and armour. Darksiders 2 retains a lot of this gameplay, while introducing a loot element to proceedings. It has a large overworld with progress gated off, requiring new items and abilities to overcome. The original Darksiders was a dark take on the 3D Zelda games. Over the course of the game you begin to accept that it runs parallel to a story you’ve already seen play out, it fleshes out the larger story and sets up any sequels to follow. They don’t call this edition the Deathinitive edition for nothing, along with the main game you also get the two expansions Initially, when Darksiders 2 came out it was a bit of a let down that the story didn’t continue on from War’s entry. But when it gets its hooks into you, you’ll find yourself wanting to see what becomes of the overarching story with the riders and the Charred council who hold control over them. With the first game, it took me a few hours to be sold on the premise. The story can feel overly serious but it is so exaggerated, especially because of the seriousness of the horsemen and their circumstances. If that’s not a heavy enough task, there is also the fate of the race of Nephilim that the riders are the last of, as well as a spreading corruption threatening every realm. After discovering that resurrecting humanity might clear War’s name, Death will have to take on heaven and hell to get to the Tree of Life. This story follows another horseman Death, the gaunt skull faced Nephilim who believes his Brother to be innocent and is intent on clearing his name. One of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, War, is imprisoned accused of breaking the seven seals and bringing the end of the human race. If you’re someone who doesn’t own a copy on one of seven platforms please read on.ĭarksiders 2 runs parallel to the story of the first Darksiders. If you’ve already played this game before, then you’ll be glad to know it’s still Darksiders 2. These days there’s an actual sequel as well as a prequel on the way. So it’s that time again, to jump back into the world of Darksiders. Death is inevitable, and a port of Darksiders 2 seems just as inevitable.
