Darksiders Genesis sends War and Strife into Hell to investigate Lucifer’s plan to empower the master demons and upset the Balance. Set before the original Darksiders, its story also introduces Strife, the franchise’s fourth and last Horseman. The threat gives the adventure a clear purpose: hunt down the demon masters, gather information and confront the conspiracy endangering creation.
Combat pairs War’s swordsmanship with Strife’s gunslinging, and the game lets solo players switch between the two Horsemen instantly. That character contrast shapes the action as players battle through hordes of demons, angels and other foes. Beyond fighting, the listed progression includes collecting items, abilities, weapon enhancements and creature cores to grow in strength and power.
The play format offers both single-player and two-player cooperative play, including online and shared or split-screen co-op.
