14 DAY TRIAL // The Darksiders series of video games is available with big cuts in price on the Steam digital distribution service from Valve, with the offer set to expire on Thursday at 4 PM Pacific Standard Time.
Gamers can get Darksiders II for 16.99 dollars or Euro, while the first title in the franchise can be downloaded for less than 5 dollars or Euro.
The offer comes just after the demise of THQ, the company that originally worked with developer Vigil on the series, which was affected by financial issues.
Darksiders mixes platforming and adventure elements with action mechanics, allowing gamers to control Death and War, powerful horsemen of the Apocalypse, as they travel to Earth and other fantasy planes in order to stop a coming Apocalypse.
The titles were praised for their over-the-top character design and well-constructed combat sequences.
