I guess Nordic is gathering their dosh reserves for Darksiders 3 funding proper. Will PC owners get Warmaster Edition for free? Time will tell. :|

Nordic Games will be releasing a new updated version of Darksiders on 25 October.

Called the Darksiders Warmaster Edition, the game is being brought up to speed with a slew of enhancements including PC-specific enhancements such as 4k support and other additional video options for PC. All texture resolutions have been doubled, there’s rendering improvements, improved shadow rendering quality, post processing effects and a solid 60FPS is promised.

This enhanced version is being developed by KAIKO who worked on the Xbone version of Darksiders 2.

This game just reminded how much mainstream hack&slashes changed in the last decade, mostly by adopting jap-style dodge move with i-frames. I played DS1 on release and always remembered it as being pretty easy combat-wise, but playing it now I'm struggling with some combat encounters on apocalyptic difficulty, even though I'm generally ok at hack&slash like MGR:R or Bayo.

The thing is, there's no i-frames on dodge and you can't dodge/dash through enemies so you really need to rewire your brain to actually leave the attack zone before it goes off and not just mash a dodge button in time for them sweet sweet i-frames. That's a pretty interesting change of pace and it actually took me a few hours to break the habit of timing the dodge and stop playing it as if it was a jap game

Wow, this is actually a pretty good game, I never knew! A long time ago I had tried the original for a few tens of minutes and then left. I now know why. The somewhat long and quite axed beginning is actually something like a tutorial. But the game doesn't say that! Once Vulgrim is reached, the game blooms into a classic well-done ARPG with secrets, leveling, traversing the architecture, finding items and stuff.

Indeed, Darksiders 1 is criminally underrated. It boogles my mind that they chose to change the formula so much in part two which was pure decline.

Part 2 was alright, it was still in the similar genre. Part 3 was the real decline.

You're right, it just omitted part 3 because it wasn't done by the original studio.
