Darksiders Genesis Free Download Unfitgirl Darksiders Genesis is a great new direction for a series known for its many different directions. While its isometric view may conjure thoughts of loot-centric action-RPGs along the lines of Diablo or Path of Exile, rest assured this is a Darksiders game, through and through. It’s an action-adventure complete with hard-hitting combat, dungeon diving, exploration, and more than a few “Press B to Brutally Murder” executions. What it lacks in Blizzard-level polish it makes up for with a respectable amount of content. Most importantly, though, is how Genesis manages to be just as fun at the start of its solo and co-op campaign as it is at the end thanks to a wide variety of enemies, well-thought-out character progression, and smart level design that encourages and rewards thorough exploration of its expansive environments. As the name implies, Genesis takes place at the beginning of Darksiders lore, centuries upon centuries before the apocalyptic events of the first game. The overarching plot is pretty standard fare and functions mostly just to give the playable pair of characters, War and Strife, reasons to visit a location, kill a big bad demon, collect a magic trinket, turn off a poison faucet, and so on for the duration of its 15-hour campaign and compelling New Game+ (called Apocalyptic difficulty). The real star of Genesis’s story is the dynamic between its two main characters. Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

The witty and snarky Strife is the perfect foil to the straight-laced and duty-bound War, and their pairing immediately brings to mind the dynamic and chemistry of Peter Quill and Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy. There’s some genuinely funny interactions between the two, but also some heartfelt moments as they both cope with the guilt stemming from their betrayal of the Nephilim during the War for Eden, along with some deeper-rooted (figurative) demons. These emotional highs are particularly resonant thanks to stellar voice acting from Liam O’Brien and Chris Jai Alex as War and Strife, respectively. The witty and snarky Strife is the perfect foil to the straight laced and duty-bound War Perhaps the most surprising thing about Genesis is just how well the fast-paced, hard-hitting style of Darksiders’ combat translates to an isometric camera style. War plays exactly like he does in the original Darksiders: he’s got simple mashy combos, an option to launch enemies up for air combos, big AOE special attacks, and a quick dash that gets him out of or into a fight in an instant. He can also block enemy attacks and can eventually get an upgrade that allows him to counter if he blocks right before an attack hits, which is super important in the late game. It all feels really good. War’s attacks feel weighty and impactful, sending smaller demons flying when he hits, and there are several small touches, like being able to cancel any attack with a block or dodge.

Everything as before

That sort of thing keeps the action quick and allows you to realistically react defensively when chaos covers the screen. Then there’s Strife, who finally makes his playable debut in a Darksiders game with a style that’s completely different than War. While War is meant to rush head-first into combat, Strife is much squishier and does his best work from a distance where he can use his guns. To facilitate this playstyle, Strife has multiple dashes, seven different types of ammo that he can eventually add to his arsenal, and a Hotstreak meter that dramatically improves his weapons for a short amount of time. In solo mode, you can switch between the two characters at any time, and in co-op each player controls one of the Horsemen. Local co-op is done in split-screen, which is not ideal since it reduces your screen space by half and makes it easy for enemies to hit you from off screen, but it’s better than nothing and at least allows you to explore without being tethered to your partner on a short leash. The biggest bummer about the combat and camera angle is that there are often times when rocky crags in the foreground and other bits of the environment obscure the action. It’s a puzzling problem because Genesis already has half of the solution in place: you can see silhouettes and outlines of War and Strife through the environment, but the same isn’t true for enemies. Singularity 

So while you can always see your character, you can’t see what’s hitting you. It’s never a problem for too long, but it can be frustrating whenever it happens. While you can always see your character, you can’t always see what’s hitting you Similarly annoying is when your character gets stuck in the geometry, which happened to me far more often than it should. It was never game-breaking, fortunately, because switching characters and jumping a whole bunch typically got me out of any jam, but that’s a telltale sign of an overall lack of polish that is a bit disappointing to see. Genesis’ greatest success is making its gameplay thoroughly engaging all throughout its campaign, and beyond. There are mandatory upgrades that introduce fun new facets to both combat and puzzle-solving, like War’s chargeable Tremor Gauntlet, which is used not only to break specific red crystals but can also be charged for big long-range damage or used in the air for an AOE attack. Then there’s Strife’s Void Bomb, which doesn’t have any use in combat but does lead to some great Portal-like puzzles. In addition to the mandatory upgrades, there are also some potent ones that you can actually miss if you neglect to explore some of the better-hidden areas of every level. These upgrades, like the Deathtouch enhancement for War that makes enemies explode upon death to deal big damage (and potentially setting off a chain reaction)

Nuclear power? Yes, please!

Are extremely powerful and make exploration very rewarding. In addition to that, there’s also valuable currency to collect that allows you to purchase upgrades and items from the shop, along with a unique progression system involving Creature Cores that strongly encourages replaying levels or participating in combat arenas to improve stats. I rarely have any desire to replay levels of any game in any one playthrough, but in Genesis I actively wanted to revisit earlier stages I rarely have any desire to replay levels of any game in any one playthrough, but in Genesis I actively wanted to revisit earlier stages with new abilities in order to explore a previously closed-off pathway leading to an epic chest that promised either a new ammo type for Strife, a new enhancement for War, or a new special ability. Of course, it also helped that replaying levels would also give me more souls to spend in the shop and Creature Cores to further upgrade my characters. There are three types of Creature Cores that are randomly dropped by enemies: Attack, Wrath, and Health, and the slots that they can be placed into have the same categories. You can place any Core into any slot to unlock the adjacent ones, but you get a significant matching bonus if you match the type of Core with the type of slot. Obtaining duplicate Cores also serves to upgrade them, but if a level 3 Core is placed in a level 1 slot it’ll only get you the level 1 benefits, so there’s another thing you have to consider.

It definitely sounds more complicated than it actually is, and it’s pretty satisfying to reconfigure your Core placements and squeeze out some extra stats. However, although it works great on the first playthrough while you’re still filling out the entire grid, once all of the slots are filled and you need to focus on grinding levels in order to improve specific Creature Cores so you can survive on Apocalyptic difficulty, it becomes a chore to hunt down specific monsters in specific levels in order to upgrade them to max level. Especially since the amount of time needed to increase just one soul to level 3 is fairly substantial for just a small incremental gain in your stats. It turned into a bit of a slog – but at least the combat remains enjoyable enough to make it feel worthwhile. Darksiders Genesis continues the series’ penchant for switching up its central gameplay style and influences, this time settling on a Diablo-esque camera angle for its hack-and-slash antics. At first glance, it may seem far removed from the third-person romps that make up the rest of the franchise, but, rest assured, once you jump in and find your rhythm this is very much the Darksiders of old; a non-stop kill-a-thon with plenty of secrets, puzzles, platforming and upgrades to keep you busy over its roughly fifteen-hour running time. A prequel to the 2010 original, the story here sees you take control of returning favourite War and newcomer Strife as they set out at the behest of the Charred Council to have a stern word in Lucifer’s ear.

Alongside the hacking and shooting

He’s been upsetting the natural balance of things, you see, granting his demonic hell pals all sorts of powers and generally being a big red nuisance, and it’s now up to your mismatched duo to take these bad-boys down with a little help from returning series stalwarts Samael and Vulcrim. It’s a pretty simple setup that throws you straight into the action with a story that never boils down to much more than getting sent on a bunch of errands that slowly bring you closer to revealing the big L’s location. However, there’s plenty of fun to be had with the pairing of the stoic War and wise-cracking Strife. Let’s be clear, this isn’t a comedy classic by any stretch of the imagination, but the writing is generally amusing enough and by the end, we had grown quite fond of the strained relations between our two leading horsemen. Differences between the two don’t just come down to opinions or worldly outlooks either. On the battlefield, both play satisfyingly differently. War, with his comically huge sword, is very much the up-close and personal type, dodging at close quarters and smashing enemies to pieces with his raw power; “you are ended!” he’ll cry as he tears the arms and legs off some hapless imp or horned nasty. Strife, on the other hand, is much more effective at range, keeping big enemies at bay with his guns and then nipping in nimbly to sort out smaller problems with his curved daggers.

Combat in Darksiders Genesis is satisfyingly meaty stuff from the outset that, especially on harder difficulties, will force you to utilise all of your skills and ensure you’re switching between your two heroes constantly if you’re to stand any chance of surviving the pretty relentless onslaught of hellspawn. Things are kept fresh along the way by a constant supply of upgrades, unlockable skills and attacks that see your arsenal swell to enormously satisfying proportions by the end stages of your adventure. Indeed, both War and Strife have a ton of tricks up their sleeves. Some of these come in the form of various tools which unlock new means of traversing levels – feeding into that classic Zelda-style backtracking to earlier locations to reach hitherto locked secrets and areas – while others are passive upgrades that see you leave a trail of lava behind you as you dodge around an arena, or perhaps conjure up a hellhound to fight by your side temporarily. Both protagonists also have several unique abilities to help guide them to victory. Strife can call on his exploding caltrops, World-Ender attack and ability to clone himself to confuse enemies, whilst War makes use of fiery spikes that he can summon from the earth around enemies, as well as a ghost hook, rampage attack and a bevvy of tools such as his Vorpal Blade, the latter of which, like Strife’s Void Bombs, sees a ton of action in the game’s many puzzles.

As well as all of this, both characters have the ability to transform into an ‘Anarchy’ form of themselves once they’ve filled their battle gauges by attacking enemies. A quick press of L and ZR together unleashes this temporarily gargantuan state, which is perfect for causing massive bereavement during tough boss battles and other sticky situations. There’s just so much going on with the combat here, lots of tiny little details and touches. We love how you can finish enemies off when you’ve dealt them a certain amount of damage by moving in and pressing A, and that finishing them like this deals AoE damage to surrounding foes so you can start moving from one to another, chaining these finishers together as your chosen protagonist mouths off. We love how Strife has a ton of different ammo types for his gun and how hammering your attack constantly sets you up with a temporarily overpowered version of that attack on a gauge. We haven’t even mentioned the fact you can trot around more open areas of levels on your trusty death steed by having them materialise/de-materialise with a quick push of the shoulder buttons. If all of this wasn’t enough, there are also a bunch of new combos to unlock at Dis’s shop to add to your already swollen array of skills and then, the real star of the show in terms of upgrading in Darksider Genesis – and the thing that gives it legs way beyond your initial playthrough – is its delightful Creature Cores skill system.
