Darksiders Genesis – Played
If you are looking for a Trend at this year’s gamescom, so probably the Couch Co-op mode would get a place in the Top three. However, not every game is suitable for that, but with a little creativity and a lot of dedication, even seemingly impossible game series for a joint Gamble on a Sofa can be adapted. The Team of the small Texas developer Studio Airship Syndicate has the Darksidersseries, and with Darksiders Genesis is a real insider’s tip delivered.
The story begins long before the apocalyptic horsemen of war, seeks the earth. He and another fellow, by the name of Strife, get a job, to thwart the Plan of the deceitful demon king, Lucifer, to the disturbance of the equilibrium. Our heroes have to defeat it secrets, as well as the Plan, before the world threatens to sink in the Chaos.
Darksiders Genesis was, contrary to the other parts of the series, in an Isometric view. The action-Packed fights, as well as the style used in the medium, inevitably remind us of the Genre of the classic Diablo, but the comparison would not be appropriate, because with the exception of the view have the two titles have nothing in common and that is a good thing. You can’t like the game, at any time, alone or in Online Co-op play, this is the only way the developers have intended. This hattten rather the picture of two players, sitting side by side on the Couch and just have a fun time together.
The Core Element
In addition to the gripping Story and the cut scenes that awaits you in this game, the developers have something very Special for the Skill Tree thought of that. As with any other Action RPG there is, of course, a certain Set of skills with which your character can improve. Only this is limited in Darksiders Genesis very. There will only be thirteen of them, and still the possibilities to be rich. To skills to unlock, you need not just skill points, which you can then distribute, but the abilities must be activated by the cores, the defeated Monster will drop. These cores have different abilities, are a different frequency and each Skill may have several grasp about it. This is going to sound a little complicated, but in practice quite simple. Your distributed, for example, a fire-skills-core on an attack spell and a ball of fire arises. But the trick is that you can allocate to the stones at any time. So a dynamic change of the capabilities that you just in the battle available can be adjusted, so that the attacks of any opponent.
The game should this year appear to be get in contact with will be released for all major consoles and platforms, including Google, Stadia and Steam. The developers told us that they wanted as many players as possible the Chance to play together. Some of the special Highlights you can also away from the actual game to come up with. For example, there is a Special Edition, which contains a large Diorama figure from Strife. The is a real eye-catcher, but is beaten by the Nephilim-Version. This includes, in fact, in addition to Strife’s character is a complete Board game with 61 painted Miniatures, the goings-on every Tabletop and Pen-n-Paper-Fan the tears in the eyes. According to the developer, the Board game is scheduled to appear never individually.
CONCLUSION
Darksiders Genesis, for me, is one of the great Surprises of the gamescom 2019. The title ran far below my Radar and unfortunately has not received the attention that it deserved. Nevertheless, the developers have provided a work on the legs, you can feel the devotion correctly. The game generates in me the anticipation of, once again, with friends, a few Beers and a lot of Almost the night Food to beat the ears, because the entry into the game is easy, the challenge is to master it.
