About Darksiders II

Darksiders II is a third-person action role-playing game that blends hack and slash combat with open world adventure. It was released on August 14, 2012, for PlayStation 3, PC, Wii U, and Xbox 360. Vigil Games developed the game, and Spike Chunsoft and THQ published it. It is part of the Darksiders series and is a single player experience.

The game puts you in control of Death, one of the Four Horsemen, and lets you explore a large open world. Along the way you can take on side quests, level up your character, work through skill trees, and equip a wide range of armor and weapons to shape how Death fights and moves. The character is agile and acrobatic, which supports exploration across the world.

The setting is a fantasy world with a strong focus on action. The game carries the tone and style of the wider Darksiders franchise, and it is rated M by the ESRB and PEGI 16 for its mature content.
