Ben Cureton, Darksiders II’s combat designer, was asked about which games inspired him and his team. Cureton revealed that The Legend of Zelda series was an inspiration for the “puzzles and stuff” within Darksiders II. When asked about when the game will come out for Wii U, Cureton said Darksiders II should be a launch window title.
Some of the mechanics feel comparable to Devil May Cry or Castlevania: Lord of Shadows. What games inspired you?
“Well, we definitely played every combat game. It doesn’t matter if it’s considered the best game of all time or the worst game of all time. We play ‘em all. Obviously, we had the Zelda inspiration with the puzzles and stuff. But for combat, we are hugeDMC and Bayonetta fans.”
Is it still coming out as a launch window title?
“Right now, I would say yes, but I’m not anybody who has anything to do with that.”
To the rescue!
Cool
Yes, because when I think Zelda, I think Skull man on horse in Hell…… Actually reminds me of OoT.
Or when Skull Kid steals Epona and rides away in MM :P
LOL
Its not in Hell, its on post apocalyptic Earth and at one point, Heaven. You play as War, the first Horseman of the Apocalypse, and fight demons AND angels, you take no sides.
yay
got this on the pc as a gift, and i have to say this game is pretty damn fun. its like devil may cry, diablo and zelda put together. i’ll probably buy it for the wii u if it has enough features.
Got the first one as a gift or the second one?
second one. a friend of mine preordered it for me on steam on my birthday back in february.
Darksiders is ok but nothing more than a button basher that requires the skill of a child on life support.
This pretty much.
I played the demo and I got so bored that I just stop playing it.
It lacks the charm that Zelda games has.
that’s nice to hear, not like blockshift that they rip pushmo like crazy.
I downloaded it free. Least am not wasting my money on a very simple tech game :p
Pushmo is a rip off ironically. Like most 3ds ware games
aww its that the best you can come up with?
your thinking to hard.
You’re*
And that is the best… I get the SAME game FREE :P I save money for something worthwhile (not game related)
Do you actually want a game to be free to play or you want to pay for it? are you that dumb? Anyone with half a brain cell would go for the cheaper alternative… despite the game playing the same. Gamers especially those that play on mobile dont give two shits if its a copy or not… only developers care because they are ripping off their ideas.
How is super mario bros 2? (NES game) realised that it was a complete rip off of Doki Doki Panic but with Mario characters instead as playable characters?
How is super mario bros 2 a rip off of Doki Doki Panic when both where created by the same person.
Again you’re thinking too hard. Is this the best you can do?
^
that whole thing you said can be summed up with “SELF ENTITLEMENT”
so there’s a problem with making purchases to support them for more and better games down the road?
What’s Pushmo a rip-off of…?
Nothing.
Kind of ironic that the ex-darksiders developer bashed on Nintendo’s Wii U console yet their game is basically inspired by a Nintendo franchise.. lol!
“Ex-darksiders developer” means: Nobody
this wills be no guds cos they is likes dah sony and is thieves from nintendo.
I forgot that the first Darksiders didn’t come to a Nintendo console, otherwise this would have been old news.
Its like Zelda cross DMC, its awesome
LOL now u nintenfags are going to bash it and say its a clone … darksiders is way better than zelda ..
I like how no-one bashed. Fail troll. And you’re too bad at games to play Darksiders
how is darksiders a clone when the game is not base on saving a princess.
Have you even play the first one?
i played the 1st one .. i know you havnt coz ur were to busy playing ur shitty wii
Wow, I never heard this game but once he mentioned “Legend of Zelda” and Bayonetta” I am sold! I might have to pick this game up.
Except that Zelda isn’t a glitched, lame hack n’ slack pile of weak-sauce. Piss off with your Darksiders, American made filth.
I might pick it up.
I’m not sure if I’m comfortable playing as one of the apocalypse horsemen, though….I mean, is he a good guy or bad guy in the end, or what?
Its a great game, and its all based in its own universe, with its own take on the Apocalypse. Basically, darksiders 1 was about how the great war between demons and angels would eventually take place, and it guarded by seven seals, which if broken bring on the war. But theres supreme beings known as the council, who created the 4 horseman, to punish the wicked, no matter what side they be on. The first game is about War, the first horseman being betrayed and called down when he wasnt supposed to, and thus gets his powers taken away, and he seeks out whoever betrayed him. The 2nd game is about Death, avenging his brother and unravelling the mystery.
So, yeah, you are the good guy, but more of the sense that you have no leigance with a side, just honour and to punish the wicked.
Death is definitely the protagonist, but I wouldn’t say he’s a “good” guy. More like a neutral standing, given he’ll fight angel and demon. And War has honor. He served his time after being convicted. Death is more of the “taking action” type, such as he would say, “This is bull****! I’m gonna find out who framed my bro!”
I’m definitely picking this game up at launch. The first two games I’m gonna buy for my Wii U are LoZ: Skyward sword and Darksiders 2. Leave luck to heaven.
The first darksiders was great and the second one looks like its even better. Definitely one of the first games I’m picking up for the Wii U

Darksiders is an American made filth.
It isn’t worth buying at all.
Hell Western gaming is boring, stale and lack the replay value.
Hella looking forward to this. It’s a mix of The Legend of Zelda and Devil May Cry, two of my favorite franchises. So far I see mostly postive reviews of Darksiders 2. That’s a good sign. Can’t wait to be Death.
