Darksiders is a video game being developed by Vigil Games. The game takes its inspiration from the apocalypse and battle of armageddon described in the Book Of Revelation with the player taking the role of "War", one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.


The player takes on the role of War, one of the four legendary Horsemen of the apocalypse; the apocalypse has just taken place prematurely, and the world destroyed, and War finds himself tasked to find out who was behind this; caught in a battle between angels and demons, he has lost much of his power, and must find out where the other horsemen are, and who misled them into starting the final battle.

Darksiders is primarily a combat action game, with weapons such as giant swords and miniguns available. War also regains his powers throughout the game, and has his own mount, a horse called Ruin.
The powers and horse which War must regain play an important role in the game as they enable him to access areas of the world which would otherwise be closed to him. A wrath meter similar to the musou gauge in the Dynasty warriors series fills up as War fights and gives access to powered-up and special moves.
