Darksiders Genesis places Strife on a mission to stop Lucifer from destroying humankind. This action RPG spin-off adopts a top-down perspective, with its announced gameplay spanning combat, exploration, puzzle-solving and boss battles.
Strife belongs to the Horsemen, powerful servants of the Council charged with maintaining the Balance across existence. Their power came at a cost: the Council ordered them to destroy the rest of their own kind, the Nephilim.
