Until November 22, Darksiders Genesis is offered to €7.99 instead of €39.99 on the PlayStation Store. A ridiculous price for a game that was critically acclaimed when it was released, and which remains one of the best spin-offs in the saga Darksiders.
Developed by Airship Syndicate and edited by THQ Nordicthe game offers a formula inspired by the classics of hack’n’slash. Top view, nervous action, RPG mechanics: all the ingredients come together to appeal to fans of Diablo-like on console.
Good news, the game is fully playable in local or online co-opwith two players. He is also PS5 compatible thanks to backward compatibility, at no additional cost.
A rich universe, critical and commercial success
Darksiders Genesis serves as prequel to the main series. It features two Horsemen of the Apocalypse – War and Strife – in a fight against the demons of Pandemonium. The tone is lighter than the previous opuses, but the writing was praised, as was the very comic book artistic direction.
“Since the dawn of creation, the Council has maintained the Balance throughout existence,” summarizes the studio in an official presentation of the game. “The Horsemen, the Nephilim, who have pledged allegiance to the Council and received immense power, carry out its orders. However, this power comes at a tragic price: the Horsemen have been ordered to use their newly acquired strength to wipe out the rest of their species.”
The game exceeded its publisher’s sales expectations. The Embracer group, parent company of THQ Nordic, confirmed at the time that the figures for Darksiders Genesis had “well exceeded forecasts”.
A limited offer until November 22
Offered as part of the November promotions on the PS Store, this 80% reduction is valid until November 22, 2025. No special edition or additional content is required to enjoy the full game.
For gamers looking for a great two-player action gamefun, accessible and well made, difficult to find better at this price. The saga Darksiders has perhaps never been so affordable.
