## About Darksiders Genesis

Darksiders Genesis is a 2019 isometric action-adventure that serves as a prequel to the Darksiders series, introducing the fourth Horseman Strife alongside the familiar War. Players can control either character in single-player or team up for online co-op, switching between their distinct combat styles during arena-battles and explorable levels that reward backtracking. Reviewers highlight the creature core system that encourages build-experimentation, while players describe the twin-stick shooting as refreshing when combined with hack-and-slash combat. The game also features a replayable arena mode for high-score chasing. Developed by Airship Syndicate and published by THQ Nordic, the title holds an 85% positive rating from over 3,400 Steam reviews and runs verified on Steam Deck.
