OK, let’s get down to business. In Darksiders by Vigil Games, you play the role of War, one of the biblical “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”. You have been mistakenly summoned to Earth where an almighty battle between Heaven and Hell is taking place.

As a last chance at redemption, you request to be sent back to Earth to find out who was responsible for bringing on the apocalypse prematurely.
