Darksiders (Video Game)	comment	An Action-Adventure game from Vigil Games and published by THQ, Darksiders (originally Darksiders: Wrath of War; the subtitle was dropped before the game was released) is the first game in the Darksiders series, and puts you in the role of War, one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. When the Creator gave the land of Eden to Man, the outcast Nephilim were outraged and fought the archangels. Only four Nephilim survived: Fury, Strife, Death and War. The Charred Council made them its agents charged with maintaining the Balance Between Good and Evil: the Four Horsemen. A truce was brokered between the Kingdoms of Heaven and Hell: the Seven Seals were created to be broken when the Kingdom of Man was ready, sparking the End War where the Four Horsemen would ride across Earth, restore the balance and forge the pact anew.Skip ahead to the present day, where the Earth is being pelted by a meteor storm...only it's not meteors, but demons. The angelic Hellguard arrive to fight them and War appears in the middle of the battle. But the other Horsemen are not there and the archangel Abaddon, leader of the Hellguard, states that neither should War since the seals weren't broken. An incredibly powerful demon appears, kills Abaddon and nearly kills the Horseman. Hauled before the Charred Council, War stands accused of starting the End War early and siding with Hell. War claims he was only answering the summons of the Seals, but they are still intact. In lieu of being executed for violating the balance, the Council agrees to send War on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge to hunt down those responsible, be they from Heaven or Hell.A Warmastered Edition was released on November 22, 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a Wii U version arriving on a later date. Its PC version was released later on November 29, 2016 through Steam and GOG.com, and owners of the original version of Darksiders in their Steam or GOG library can upgrade to the remastered version free of charge. A Nintendo Switch version was released April 2nd, 2019.

Darksiders (Video Game) / int_12c6bf73	comment	Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The main character is one of them. The others are coming in the next game. Two of the traditional Horsemen have been replaced: Strife replaces Conquest and Fury replaces Famine. Word of God is that they were thinking in terms of the War, Death, Pestilence, and Famine set, and they didn't think Pestilence and Famine were suitably militant and dynamic for an action game series.

When War later faces off against Abaddon/the Destroyer, they offer him the same deal and are quite sharply rebuked. War's deal with Samael turns into this when it turns out Samael lied to him about the purpose of the Chosen's' hearts were.

Magical trees connecting to other realms and being able to use them as transport). Subverted in that a lot of creative license was used, making the universe seem very loosely based on it.

Darksiders (Video Game) / int_2ec87029	type	Sadly Mythtaken
Darksiders (Video Game) / int_2ec87029	comment	Sadly Mythtaken: The most well known interpretation of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are that of Conquest, War, Famine, and Death; Pestilence replaces Conquest in some versions. However none of the names of the horsemen are explicitly stated in Bible except for Death. The names Conquest (or Pestilence), War, and Famine are taken from popular interpretations of how they're described in the Bible. Granted, they are very famous interpretations but none the less the source remains open to new definitions. Thus, it could be argued that having the white Rider as Strife and the Black Rider as Fury is in fact as valid as any other rendition making this another aversion of the trope.

You've been accused of starting the final war between Heaven and Hell too early, and are sent by a trio of lava heads called the Charred Council to clear your name the only way you can: Butchering your way across the post-apocalyptic remains of Earth on a quest to kill the ones responsible. It doesn't get much more metal than this.

The final boss Abaddon can also shrug off Chaos Form very easily.

However, the hook seems to be for the third game, not the second. Given the ending of the second game, which ends with Death being called by the breaking of the Seventh Seal, this seemed to be the case. Then the third game stars Fury and ends up being set during War's 100 year imprisonment and Genesis is a prequel staring War and Strife. The most likely candidate is now a fourth console game (fifth overall).

This may have been intentional given how much the game is based on the actual biblical Apocalypse. "Uriel" means "God is my light/God is my fire". And in tradition, Uriel was the angel that cast man out of Eden and also holds the keys to the gates of Hell. Pretty snappy for the commander of the Hellguard.

Darksiders (Video Game) / int_6e92a631	comment	Four-Fingered Hands: Most demons only have four fingers on each hand. Angels, humans and Horsemen have the normal 5 for some reason... This actually makes an amazing amount of sense when you think about it. Humans and Angels come from the same Creator so it makes sense that they'd share some similarities. The Horsemen are Nephilim who, according to religious lore, were the children of Angels and Humans and in Darksiders are children of the Creator meant to guard the humans when they were first created. Where the demons come from isn't clear but it seems to be that the Creator races all share vaguely humanoid appearances which makes sense if they were made in His image. Slightly changed in Darksiders II, where the opening reveals that the Nephilim are the children of angels and demons instead of children of the creator or children of angels and humans. Also subverted in that it's implied that demons and angels are entirely separate races, as opposed to demons solely being former angels. Though the prequel novel The Abomination Vault confirms that angels can be changed into demons.

Late in the game, you get the Void Walker item. It creates one pair of portals at a time (though only at specific locations), through which you can jump. The first portal you fire is orange. The second is blue. Sound familiar? Oh, it doesn't stop there. There's the Empty Vessel, which you can fill with souls of enemies so you can use it later (Empty Bottle). There's the Hoardseeker, which reveals the location of all the treasure chests in a dungeon (Compass). There's the Mask of Shadows, which lets you see hidden objects (Lens of Truth). And... You have to collect shards of the Armageddon Blade before you can fight the final boss (The Triforce shards) And after the aforementioned reunion with your horse, the demons watching you fight off their buddies in a gladiatorial arena decide to all just attack. The Watcher has this to say: The achievement for gaining the Mask of Shadows is called "Sight Beyond Sight". Speaking of The Watcher, it's Mark Hamill doing the voice. Does it sound familiar? War and Vulgrim look similar to Prince Arthas and Kel'Thuzad respectively. The offer that Lilith gave to Abaddon to become the Destroyer, which Abaddon also offers to War before the final boss: "Would you serve in Heaven, or rule in Hell?" This is a reference to the classic epic poem Paradise Lost, in which Satan addresses his followers with a Rousing Speech after being banished to Hell by God ending with the classic line: "Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven."

The games ends with a Sequel Hook where War summons the other three Horsemen, with his dialogue implying they intend to show the Council what's what.

Played painfully straight in case of Serpent Tunnels, which allow you to travel to nearly any location and consist of series of platforms suspended in a void and nothing else (there are collectibles hidden in three of them, though).

However, the apocalypse was only officially meant to occur when the Earth was "ready" and (presumably) on even terms with Heaven and Hell, with this imbalance in power resulting in humanity's extinction during the premature end war.

And our extinction in the beginning of the story is one of the major reasons why the Charred Council is pissed at War. We're physically weak in comparison to other races, but for some reason we're important.

The rest were killed off in the war that consumed their kind. The Charred Council took in the four and charged them with enforcing the Balance. Retconned in Darksiders II, where not only the Nephilim are the offspring of angels and demons (and therefore, not exactly as ancient as Heaven and Hell), but the Horsemen themselves (with some help from Heaven) killed off their own race as their first mission from the Charred Council. Justified Trope: Considering that said Nephilim were going on a mass world-destroying spree that would have destroyed the Balance and humanity was next on the list of their victims.

Except that didn't go to plan; Hell already knew about his plan, so its generals didn't bother with gathering and instead erupted out with guns blazing.
