Darksiders II: Now with Loot Drops
If you happened to get to the end of the original Darksiders, what Vigil Games is doing with the sequel probably isn't what you expected. You don't continue the story of War. Instead, the tale of Darksiders II runs in parallel, in different realms, and the tales aren't directly connected. It's still a single-player game, only now you control a different Horseman of the Apocalypse, Death, who differs from the cowled, bulky War in a number of ways. Though Darksiders II will retain a lot of what made the original memorable for so many, there will also be quite a few changes.
Darksiders II is still a fast, colorful action game that lets you rip through hordes of demonic creatures with flashy combos and magical attacks. There'll still be Zelda-esque puzzle dungeons and plenty of third-person platforming sections in between the fighting. It seems like for the sequel, the main directive for Vigil is to include more of everything. The game will contain four major zones with distinct graphical styles, and the first major zone following the tutorial will have as much dungeon content as the entirely of the first game. Sounds pretty good, yes?
It also has loot drops. And I don't mean the treasure you pull out of chests to grapple around the world, claw through dungeons and pummel bosses. That's all still there, but now when you slay enemies, there's a chance they'll drop bits of gear Death can equip. You'll be able to see the gear too when it's active. Big, spiny chunks of shoulder armor, golden gauntlets, leg guards and more in numerous different styles. Random statistical bonuses will be attached to the gear to affect Death's core attributes, and in true Diablo style will have associated levels of rarity, from common items to powerful 'possessed' drops.
Even with gear equipped, Death's profile is slimmer than War, and he flits around the battlefield with speed. Unlike War, he doesn't block, relying more on dodging. Some of his combat moves should be familiar to fans of the first game. Using twin scythes he can launch enemies up, spin like a crazed buzz-saw in mid-jump, and continue combos from the ground to the air to the ground again. The interface is a little different, with damage number popping up all over the screen like in a more traditional action-role-playing game. You'll even see sticky critical hit notifications when an especially vicious slash lands.
Expect various upgrade paths to customize how Death fights, as you can veer his development along different archetype paths to emphasize melee combat or magical abilities. There'll also be a lot more opportunity for non-player character interaction. Instead of being chained to Vulgrim as was the case with War, Darksiders II will feature towns filled with vendors and quest givers that make the world feel a little more populated.
From what Vigil's shown off so far, the studio has built a fantastic sense of scale into Darksiders II. At one point Death approaches a colossal floating demon ship wreathed in chain, topped by tattered sails and pulled by two titanic serpents. Vigil takes full advantage of such a dramatic setting by laying out a path for death that spans the inside of the ship and outside, forcing him to scamper across walls along the ships interior while the serpents writhe only a short distance away.
To get around Death can wall-run for brief periods of time, as well as take advantage of his Ghost Hook to attach to floating grapple points and cross large chasms. He'll use explosives in dungeons to clear paths, readjust light beams to activate crystals, tangle with multi-stage bosses, hop onto a green skeletal horse named Despair to get around the world faster, and shift into super-powerful Reaper form when a fight proves to be especially challenging.
Though the game isn't due out until 2012 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC and at some point on Wii U, it already looks great. Darksiders II features a distinct, comic book-like art style and smooth combat animations, which certainly makes scenes where Death pulverizes skeletons by psychotically whirling his scythes or busting out an alternate weapon like a slow-moving, high damage hammer more exciting. Even at this stage of development it's apparent the final products will feature high production values. Assuming Vigil builds on its experience with the first game to deliver a deeper, more expansive experience, Darksiders II could be one of 2012's highlights.
