Since ancient times, the Council has maintained the balance of reality. The Horsemen are its armed arms: they are Nephilim (powerful creatures born from the unnatural union between angels and demons) who have sworn allegiance to the Council and have been endowed with immeasurable powers.
However, their story is tragic: the Horsemen were ordered to use this power to eradicate their own kind. A bloody battle ensued in Eden during which the Horsemen, obeying the will of the Council, massacred the Nephilim.
Still reeling from the events of Eden, War and Strife are given a new mission: Lucifer, the mysterious demon king, is preparing to disrupt the balance by granting powers to the demon lords of Hell. War and Strife must track down these demons, gather information, and untangle the web of a demonic conspiracy threatening to irreparably disturb the balance and the very fabric of creation.
Darksiders Genesis is an action/adventure game that immerses the player in a world where they must carve their way through hordes of demons, angels, and everything in between to reach Hell and escape alive using various firearms and swords.
Genesis gives players a glimpse into the world of Darksiders even before the events of the original game, and introduces the Horseman of the Apocalypse Strife.
