Darksiders vs Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends
Darksiders
Darksiders is an action-adventure game with a rather dark theme. In this game, you'll assume the role of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War. Accused of causing a war between heaven and hell, you have been indicted for your crimes. However, you are given one last chance to return to Earth to search for the true culprits behind the bloodbath and perhaps prove your innocence. Being a Horseman, you have supernatural abilities in addition to an arsenal of weapons that will come in handy when you are hacking and slashing your way across a Hell-controlled Earth. There are tons of ways for you to develop your character as well, giving you the opportunity to customize War to fit your play style.Although the combat is satisfying, the gameplay can be somewhat repetitive after some time since all you need to do is to simply rack up your combos. The creatures and bosses you'll fighting against aren't too difficult either, making things rather boring after awhile. That being said, the game is pretty worth its price only for its epic Diablo-like story alone.
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is the latest installment in the expansive hack-and-slash galore, the Dynasty Warrior franchise. The game recounts the tales of the Romance of hte Three Kingdoms where you get to play as the warrior "Lu Bu". There are plenty of hypothetical scenarios that you can experience in this game, along with new playable characters, weapons, and exciting game modes like the reworked Ambition mode and the brand new Challenge mode. You can also play the game cooperatively though many players have complained of issues that mainly revolves around poor controller support.That said, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is still a pretty decent game to add to the franchise, though it might not be comparable to their best installment, Dynasty Warriors 4. If you aim to play this game, you might want to check out the console version rather than the PC port.
