While fans are waiting for the end of the story of the riders, the developers decided to make a small prequel about the adventures of Discord and War. Unlike the main games in the series, here players have to control two characters in the style of arcade action games with a top view. At the end of last year Darksiders genesis went to the PC, and now got to the consoles. This review is dedicated to the version for Ps4. Review the version of Darksiders Genesis for PC read the link.
The story begins with a cool movie, in which two characters are represented – Discord and War. However, after that the whole plot is presented in the form of voiced interactive comics. Like all previous parts, the game is fully translated into Russian.
Having received a task from the council to deal with Lucifer, the heroes set off on a journey and find themselves in hell, where other demons storm the fortress of one of the local rulers. Despite the constant jokes of Discord over the War, the characters do not reveal much during the passage. If the character of a stern warrior we already know from the first part, then I would like to get to know the malicious sniper more closely.
The plot is more reminiscent of a filler with the structure “your princess in another castle” than a full story in the style of the original Darksiders. This is unlikely to please fans of the series.
Having gained control over the characters, you can immediately notice that they are completely different. The war is about the same as it was in the first part of the series. This is a powerful warrior, crushing enemies with a huge sword. In its combinations and techniques movements from the original are recognized. At some point, he has a boomerang, and then a reinforced glove. Both skills are often used to solve simple puzzles.
The second rider is Discord. It feels quite differently – with its own set of unique movements and capabilities that are useful both for solving certain tasks and for eliminating enemies. It seems a little faster and lighter than the armored brother, but has a smaller life margin.
Discord is primarily a shooter, therefore it is capable of hitting its targets from afar, before they reach it. The gameplay for this rider resembles two-stick shooters, and in the arsenal the hero has several different charges that open during the passage.
During the battle, Discord accumulates a special scale, which automatically activates the enhanced projectile mode. Characters complement each other perfectly and make the same gameplay more diverse.
