Darksiders vs Heroes of Might & Magic 4
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.
Heroes of Might & Magic 4
Heroes of Might & Magic 4 takes the game you love, and destroys the world you play it in. A prophecy fulfilled sees a devastating explosion that smashes the world, and yet portals appear to transport some of the people to safety, and here you get a blend of new and old heroes, with their own agendas and politics forging new civilizations and cities in a different and strange new place. And so, as the Reckoning has destroyed the world of Enroth you are set to discover Axeoth for yourself in one of 6 individual campaigns.There have also been serious overhauls to the game systems as well. The hex map is replaced with a much better defined and detailed square map. The skills system is better defined and now you can place your heroes in one of 40 different classes and subclasses. Best of all you can now play your heroes in the battlefield, and use more than one. These dramatic changes have made for an amazing new experience, and one that really adds something amazing to the series.
