Scythes aren’t the only weapon in Death’s arsenal, as Darksiders 2 introduces a whole new loot system with a variety of secondary weapons ranging from axes to hammers, from claws to swords and more. That devious, dark powers linked to his past are at play and only he, with his skeletal horse Despair at his side and his dual-scythes in hand, can stop them. It won’t be easy, The Reaper will soon learn that he and his brethren have been mislead for far to long. Convinced of his brother’s innocence, Death embarks on an ironic journey to bring back life, not death, to the kingdom of men in hopes of returning balance to the realm while clearing his brother’s name in the process. Chained up in the fiery depths below by the Charred Council for crimes he didn’t commit, War’s only chance for salvation lies in his brother, the second horsemen known as Death. Emerging victorious against all odds in a quest of vengeance and betrayal, War’s role in the Apocalypse is still under scrutiny by the kingdoms of heaven and hell alike.

The angel’s and demon’s one hundred year conflict that destroyed humanity and left their world in ruins has all but come to an end thanks to the actions of War, one of the four horsemen. The game takes place shortly after the events of Darksiders.
