The world has been destroyed, demons roam the earth, and angels are cast down. While these two sides wage war on one another you begin your journey as one of the legendary Four Horsemen, War. You are the one that began this apocalypse and you are the only one that can restore the earth to what it once was.
Being mislead, the Four Horsemen march the earth beginning what is known as the apocalypse. Due to this premature attack, War is stripped of much of his power and left to find the rest of the Horsemen and the one that misled them. You run around the world ripping demons apart, exploring new areas and upgrading your gear. Darksiders is definitely an exciting game with lots of mindless demons slaying.
