THQ's Darksiders is now available in stores. We thought we would give you a headstart with a quick rundown of the weapons available to you in the game.
Darksiders: Wrath of War is a 3rd person action adventure/RPG combining combat, exploration and RPG elements. Set in an alternate future, where the forces of evil have prematurely brought about the Apocalypse, players will take on the role of War the first horseman of the Apocalypse and embark on a quest of revenge and redemption.
Chaoseater
Chaoseater is a sword unlike any other. This unforgiving weapn has slaughtered countless enemies, their fate foretold by the death-masks artfully etched along its massive blade. And many a battle has been decided by Chaoseater's viciously honed edge, which can clice through the thickest demon bone as if it were cancle wax.
As with most ancient arcane weapons, Chaoseater's true power can only be unleashed by a master equal to its blood-stained legend. Such a master is the Horseman War.
Crossblade
There are many profane weapons scattered about the ash of Man's kingdom. Few can match the speed and lethality of the Crossblade. It is a cluster of four blades that can be thrown with brutal force. After arcing deep into flesh, the crossblade returns to its wielder's hand, ready to be thrown again.
And if that were not enough, the weapon carries an additional, malevolent secret. The Crossblade can absorb the properties of certain elements it passes through, such as fire and plague, and translate them into further mutilation. Even the mightiest of the Dark One's legions would dread a warrior who brandished a weapon of such devastating power.
Earthcaller
Even when silent, the Earthcaller appears to be screaming. Its mouth has been carved to resemble two demon faces twisted with rage. The horn is a powerful artifact, able to channel fury into raw sonic power.
Far more than a weapon, the Earthcaller is able to awaken the Tormented Gates.
Harvester
Death's Scythe, the Harvester, boasts a blade taht resembles a barbed wing - a fitting shape, for few weapons cut through the air with more graceful, and life-ending, precision. This fabled weapon was made many ages ago, to fill the bony hands of the Horseman Death.
Mercy
On the battlefields of the ruined Earth, the pistol known as Mercy would seem modest. With four barrels ornamented by simple depictions of smoke and flame, it is easily dwarfed by weapons wielded by angels and demons alike. Yet it is far deadlier than any firearm.
Mercy generates its own supply of lethal bullets, the rate of fire is defined only by how quickly its master can pull the trigger. In skilled hands, the gun's endless fusillade of bullets can cut down an entire enemy regiment.
Redemption
What angels lack in claws, teeth, and cruelty, they more than make up for with an arsenal of weaponry. Blazing with the radiance of the White City, Heaven's ordnance can burn away demons and their shadows.
Redemption is among the greatest of these wapons. More cannon than gun, it fires powerful rounds that punch holes of purifying fire into the dark sky. The spreading flame of each shot is perhaps the truest light now cast upon this Earth.
Sentinel
It takes but one glance to understand the Fracture Cannon's terrible purpose. It is a ghoulish instrument of death, with a massive barrel, notched spikes, chains, and a fiendish skull. The cannon fires obsidian bolts that tear through flesh like wet paper, and explode into greedy flame. Even at range, the rolling thunder of each shot can shatter armor as well as bone. It is a small mercy that frew are strong enough to wield this immense weapon.
Tremor Gauntlet
Among the relics lost beneath the earth, the Tremor Gauntlet is uniquely frightening. It is an ancient glvoe lined with spikes, a glaring demon face etched onto its surface. The demon's eyes glow red with a single purpose - to amplify power. To possess the Tremor Gauntlet is to become the weapon.
For the Tremor Gauntlet's master, each finger has the fortitude to break enemies in half. Imagin armor imploding at the force of a blow, and massive barriers crumbling to dust. It is the stuff of demons' dreams.
