Introduction and Story

A war has raged between Heaven and Hell since the dawn of creation with neither side gaining the advantage over the other. Amidst this conflict, a mediator group – The Charred Council – arose, and dedicated themselves to maintaining the balance, using the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (War, Death, Strife and Fury), to intervene and deal justice among both forces where necessary. Eventually, the primitive humans were discovered and the third kingdom was named: The Kingdom of Man. The Council foresaw that humans, while weak, were also cunning and would one day be integral to the balance. They facilitated a truce between the two kingdoms after countless centuries of war, to lay down their arms until the End War that would decide the ultimate fate of the three Kingdoms. This war will be broken by the breaking of the seventh seal.

In the present days.armies and angles fall to earth and they starts battle.they destroys evrythin.in this time war is summoned to earth to bring the order.but war found that no horsemans are arrived and seventh seal is not broken.but this a powerfull demon called straga rises from the ground and kills the general of the army abaddon.so war battels with straga but war defeated. But he saved from the death and returned to council,but they accuses him of bringing about the apocalypse prematurely.but war demands only one chance to restore the balance although he lost all his powers that time.council agrees on the condition he is bound to one of their keepers ..so he just got his sword and returns to earth.on here he saw all destructions,all peoples are died or they became zoombies. So by doing right thing things and getting help from others war fix them..the main characters of the game which we saw are war,watcher,samael,azreal,ureal.they all have their roles.writer wrote all scripts upon them which make story good but not awesome.

Now if I comes to the presentation part then its also good. here we can see the whole story is upon the 7th seal.to fix the whole thing war did all things like change the hell to heaven.probably total story is one by one anyone can understand easily.

Gameplay

darksider is single player action adventure game which developed by vigil games.Gameplay of darksiders is like god of war or legend of Zelda although they are really different. but for pc users you can little bit enjoy the god of war by playing darksiders.the gameplay of darksiders is really big aprox(15~20 hours).the game is also contains a bunch of difficult puzzels which makes the game kinda challenging.game difficulti has 3 options 1.easy 2.normal 3.apocalyptic.the game game has both option of saving 1.autosave 2.manual save. Although manual save option option doesn’t works without check point which kinda sad but users can save their life stones and warth powers by saving which is good.

You can save the game in 9 desired place which is enough.new here we comes to the weapons, lifestones and about wrath abilities Weapons-the game 4 major weapons where you can use 3 at a time :
1.chaoseater –war’s legendary blade which is really powerfull
2.scythe-its massive curved blade performes attacks multiple enimies which is also superb.you have to buy this blade from vulgrim
3.thermor grantlet-it realeases thermor waves when realeses
4.armageddon blade-It is one of powerful blade which is usable for killing destroyer.after when you find 7 pices of blade you will receive this weapon in place of chaoseate . most powerfull weapon of the game.

You can up the destruction level by large amount of hitting enemies.and you can level up your blade moves like demon slas,harpoon tackle,devilcross etc. from vulgrim(a greedy merchent) by help of collecting souls you level it up up to 3.each weapon has different moves.

You can also use weapon enhancement for getting maximum souls or maximum life or max damage etc.although you can’t use any enhancement in Armageddon blade.all blade has different kind of moves which can be viewed in inventory option. Gear and equipments-war has also bunch of extra equipment which is helpful for solving puzzles and some equipments for hitting enemies.the equipments are-earthcaller,cross blade,mercy,abyssal chain void walker,mask of shadows.you will receive the items in time of gameplay. Lifestones-war receives one number of life stones by killing one chosen(total 5 by killing chosen) and he can also get more than 5 lifestones by getting lifestone shared.you can also collect the abyssal armor by collecting 10 piece.you can also increase ur life by using greater life essence.it is useful for when u are struggling in lifestones.

Wrath power-it’s a power full weapon which really works awesome in time of killing big enemies. Passive abilities-war has some good passive abilities –shadow flight(it is useful for gliding form a small time),serpent holes(you can jump the locations by by using serpent holes but you have to find hidden vulgrim locations),chaos form(it’s a form of destruction of war,its really powerful but you its needed full destruction meter) , blockcounter (you can block and u can do counter attacks), chronomancer(its usfull for slowing the time),ruin(it’s a kind of horse you can use it for long destinations and in some boss fights,ruin can also charged and can run faster)

The game has really some difficult puzzels.which is needed intelligency.in time of using void walker u may think its like portal game.but its kinda different from that. Also it’s a really good game for hack and slash lovers.and the game has also some decent options like ruin(I called it a horse with nitro ) I like it most. But somehow users can face in problem of keybindings there are key binding . If u use keyboard then you can easily forget any key bindings. Also the game is not challenging as god of war. Morley neithier combat nor puzzle are too much deep in this game but they are good.

Graphics and sound

The graphics of the game is good but in some cases it lacks.cuting style of the blade is awesome and also a strong use of art is also shown here.the developers uses a great color which makes reality.but the cutscene quality is kinda bad its blurry images not looks good.also game has very low customizing option in graphics.actually most of pc gamers known that they easily customize graphics on thire video cards option menu but it should also needed that the tweaking options are build into game which lacks mostly.but although at with realized style true colour and art of characters the game looks decent at 1920×1200 resolution.

Now if I comes to the performance its superb you can enjoy this game like ati radeon 4350 which is a dumb card for gaming.also I tried the game on my inbuild intel GMA X4500.its hitting 8-10 fps on 1280×720.so probably performance of the game is great.

Now lets come to the sound part.the voice of leading roles are unforgettable.the true voice dialogues makes the game perfect.although cutting sound of blade, destruction etc are as not much good. But overall not bad so …

Conclusion & Final Thoughts

Darksiders isn’t the type of the title that often appears on pc,and for that reason its worth look.vigil games tried to give us a variety of gameplay mechanism and puzzles which are worth.and the style of true art they gave gave the game a complete look.they tried to do something for entertaining combat for pc gamers.also the game contains a really good story.but in some cases game game lacks like a large number of key-bindings,blurry cutscences and of environment sound.

PROS:
1.good enough story
2.can be enjoyed in low kind of specification
3.true style of art and good destruction

2.large number of keybinding,which is problem of keyboard users
3.from the weapon and battle sounds to over world music isn’t much good
4.limited main weapons only 3 where 2 are main
