Gaining Darksiders 2 insight preceding release

Hack and slash, action-adventure game Darksiders 2 is due for release sometime in June 2012 and we are interested to find out more about this upcoming title.

Disapproval for not promoting this game has been voiced although publishers THQ have received praise for their trailers. The spooky Darksiders 2 trailer shows the horseman Death lurking in every corner as it looks from his past up until present day. In the video, we see him fighting in conflicts and hiding amongst the dead through time. This time Death continues as the protagonist to protect the innocence of his brother War. As he finishes everything War starts, this story takes place during the same time period as the first title.

Strife and Fury the two other existing horsemen will also make an appearance in this game that will take Death on a journey through many various different dungeons and city hubs. These hubs will give users the opportunity to try out side quests and in this title, and the extensive maps and dungeons will be much larger than in the previous game. Death travels to the Nether Realms to prove this is a conspiracy because his brother is the most honorable and incorruptible of the four, and his job is to overturn his conviction handed to him by the Charred Council.

In an article on Gamerant, they got the chance to take a peek at the gameplay at the Regency Center in San Francisco. This preview gave them an insight into what is to be expected, the first game had users take up the role of War who unintentionally causes an apocalypse on Earth. Realizing his brother was set up Death goes on a mission to prove this wrong tooled up with scythes. Customization is available as different item sets are accessible as you play.

Two skill trees, Necromancer and Harbinger are relevant to the item sets and the Necromancer’s “Exhume” skill was demonstrated which lets Death call upon zombies to fight for him, which is an ideal power when he is taking on too much. The other skill involves a type of force field that shields Death and inflicts damage on whoever gets too close. Overall their impression of Darksiders II is that it looks to be a decent addition to the original with fresh combat features, the graphics are great, the sounds are brilliant and they are definitely looking forward this coming out.
