War is charged with treason by his masters - the Charred Council, a group that mediates between the divine and the demonic - who believe that he has caused the conflict. He doesn't know why he's been summoned, and the other three horsemen are nowhere to be found.

War crash-lands on Earth where pandemonium is raging: angels killing demons, demons killing angels, and humans getting obliterated in the crossfire. The plot of Darksiders is essentially an apocalyptic whodunit. Its consistent stuttering and occasional screen freezes (albeit temporary ones) bog down an otherwise enjoyable doomsday escapade. Because while the nearly-decade-old Darksiders has, in many ways, aged well, the port itself is unimpressive. It is perhaps fitting, then, that the game's new Nintendo Switch port is simultaneously heavenly and hellish, both wonderful and excruciating. Darksiders: Warmastered Edition's Switch port release suffers from technical issues, but the action-adventure game at its core still holds up.ĭarksiders: Warmastered Edition, the remaster of an action-adventure game first released in 2010, follows War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as he plays brutal middleman in a battle between heaven and hell.
