Review Darksiders: Warmastered Edition
War is upon us, at long last
Just when you thought it was safe to bid farewell to your Wii U, a lone figure appears on the shadowed horizon. Unhindered by multiple delays, primed for war and ready to impress; the horseman cometh. Darksiders originally released back in 2010, and was hailed as a hidden gem of the last generation. While it...
About The Game
Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. In the slaughter that ensued, the demonic forces defeated the heavenly hosts and laid claim to the Earth.
Brought before the sacred Charred Council, War is indicted for his crimes and stripped of his powers. Dishonored and facing his own death, War is given the opportunity to return to Earth to search for the truth and punish those responsible.
Hunted by a vengeful group of Angels, War must take on the forces of Hell, forge uneasy alliances with the very demons he hunts, and journey across the ravaged remains of the Earth on his quest for vengeance and vindication.

Wouldn't the Wii U version be largely equivalent to Xbox 360?
@Gentlegamer Well, that would depend on how much effort a developer would like to put in developing a game. Do Splinter Cell:BL, AC:IV, NFS:MW, Bayonetta, and other games look just like their 360 counterparts? Not really.
There is improvement when the developer takes the time to take advantage of each unique console. Based on the preliminary list of features, it seems to me that THQNordic is trying to make a proper remaster of Darksiders on Wii U.
I absolutely loved playing Darksiders II on the WiiU, so had been hoping for the first game to get a WiiU release as well... even a rough-and-ready e-shop port would have been good enough for me, so the fact that they seem to be putting proper effort into doing it right is just fantastic.
@Dark-Link73 Fair enough. Next they can do a remastered Darksiders II that takes out the loot trash Diablo stuff and makes it more Zelda-y like the first game.
its early 2017, why is the game not released yet?! every website says its coming out the 31st of December this year!
Does anyone know if it's going to be available in the Wii U eshop for download?
