Darksiders Walkthrough Strategy Guide for PS3 and XBOX 360Darksiders keeps catching my eye. The case boxart, especially for PS3. I keep asking the Gamestop folks what is it? What's it all about? Okay yeah, I write several game reviews and articles to help bring in more interest to this site since we write walkthroughs for any game (especially the ones no one else ever does)… in other words giving help for all games no matter what.
But this Darksiders, it's just appealing to me.. .and well, the last game I played on my own merit and interest was Fallout 3. I was a bit depressed when I completed it, but couldn't return to the game to do the sidequests I'd missed (or messed up completely) but alas I keep digressing. Oddly enough I though it was about dragons. But the preview cinematic (also enclosed at the bottom of this article) starts off with a present day look at a modern metropolis but low and behold, it's about angels and demons and the destruction of mankind. No wait, that might sound interesting, but it's reminding me of my good friend Keanu Reeves nice stab at a decent script to continue an acting career of high-end A+ films after "The Matrix" of which was called Constantine if you remember that one, but the visuals and game play looks awesome.
Darksiders puts you in the shoes of War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Okay still sounds similar but not quite as much, nice new angle actually. So okay, you are involved with managing the mysterious force that controls the boundaries between the kingdoms of Heaven and hell. (yes hell was not capitalized… I hope this screening software even lets the word through…lol) Okay, so for reasons unknown war inadvertently starts Armageddon and after mankind is annihilated he needs to answer for his own crimes. You are accompanied by "the watcher" which has been superbly voice acted by the one and only Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker - Star Wars) If that's any indication as to the production value, you might very well conclude a very big plus on this side here. So he hangs out with you as he's been instructed by the council to make sure you stay on track. Interestingly, he hands out important info to you along the storyline which is both helpful and believable, ie. What you are supposed to be doing next, and even some hints as to the weaknesses of certain boss enemies. One of the first encounters involves a demon called Volgram, of whom you agree to enterprise with since he has purchased some useful items after striking a deal with the council. This includes weapons and abilities and items that improve your resistances… convenient, but they had to put it in somehow. He becomes basically your merchant, but one of the skills allows you to be resurrected which is handy. Killing enemies earns you souls which are valued either in currency, health, or wrath boosts. Overall the dynamics in the visuals and the engine appears pretty darn smooth, and although the gameplay might become repetitive (which would be a downside on my 'want to play' factor) it has a kind of Diablo -ish feel to it and since I've been waiting since feels like before I was born for D3, then this is still more than likely on my 'wish they'll let ME be the one to play it through to write the walkthrough guide" list.
