![]() ![]() This is explained with Fury being more a mage instead of a melee fighter like War and Death, hence her harder gameplay and the reliance of more tactical fighting on the player’s part. With a new protagonist also comes with a new playstyle, with a gameplay style that is closer to Metroidvanias and the works of FromSoftware, namely the Dark Souls franchise. His more customisable moveset is definitely a welcome change overall.Īfter a brief hiatus, 2018’s Darksiders III was released for modern systems, with the only female Horsemen, Fury taking center stage. Instead of a combination of combat challenges and puzzles, Darksiders II focuses a lot on semi open-world exploration, RPG elements, and randomised loot, closer to games like Borderlands or Kingdoms of Amalur.ĭeath is a lot more snarky than War, with the NPCs usually reacting to the fact that the embodiment of death itself is running around completing quests. The comparisons don't just end with the game mechanics as War is definitely a lot like Kratos, an embodiment of rage and raining destruction to every angel and demon he comes in contact with.Ģ012’s Darksiders II takes place in parallel to the first game, with War’s fellow Horsemen, Death looking to clear his brother’s name and prove his innocence. ![]() Players are tasked to search for the truth in a hack-and-slash adventure, with the game drawing many comparisons to the original God of War trilogy, Devil May Cry, and The Legend of Zelda. When a group of humans who took shelter in a church on the ruined Earth were besieged by Demons, Death came to their aid, giving those frightened within a look before immediately turning to slay the foes outside.The first game in the series had players in the role of War, who is being framed for causing the Apocalypse on Earth. That being said, like a any older sibling, he does not hesitate to reprimand or discipline them, even to such extremes as to sever War's arm to teach him a lesson.ĭespite all of his coldness though, Death will not willingly harm an innocent if there is no purpose, and even defends those who cannot defend themselves. Death's loyalty, more than to the Charred Council, is to the Four Horsemen. However, for a very select few, his siblings, Death cares deeply for them, and will go to any extreme to protect them, as seen when he sacrificed himself and all other damned Nephilim souls to save War. Coupled with his arrogance, Death can also be quite sassy, amusing given who he is. Sarcastic with an incredibly dry sense of humor, Death even enjoys killing lesser foes for the sheer fun of it, seen when he chuckles gladly when killing the lowest of vermin. He can also be quite uncaring and merciless to his foes, and is very arrogant, however, this is justified as he is one of the most powerful warriors in all of creation. Death is one of the very best at what he does, and he thoroughly enjoys it, being right at home in the middle of bloodshed and violence. He will do anything he has to in order to achieve his goals, and it is this monstrous dedication and his unstoppable might that makes Death feared by all. He has no time for silliness, games, and is exceptionally to the point with brutal efficiency. From this moment onward, Death donned his mask, and would not remove it for eons.ĭeath can appear as a very cold and intensely driven character. Come the battle of Eden, The Four stood with the Angels and the Nephilim were exterminated. Striking a deal with the Charred Council, they would preserve the balance of the universe and serve the will of the Council, in exchange for unfathomable power. Death, Fury, Strife and War, chose to instead fight back against their kin. Their destructive rampage lead them to the realm of Eden, the original Paradise for Humanity. Hundreds of realms fell to their bloodlust, but as the carnage continued, Death and his 3 closest siblings, grew to disapprove of the chaos. ![]() A brutal and warmongering species, they ravaged and destroyed everything in their path, a crusade lead by their first, Absalom. Death is one of the Nephilim, an exceptionally powerful race born from the essence of both Angels and Demons. ![]()
