About
Darksiders Genesis (2019) brings the action RPG series to a fresh isometric perspective as you play Strife, the fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse. The game delivers intense combat encounters, environmental puzzles, exploration, and epic boss battles across heavenly and infernal realms. This top-down spin-off maintains the franchise's signature blend of action and adventure while offering a different take on the classic Darksiders formula.
Running Darksiders Genesis is quite accessible for most gaming PCs. You'll need at least an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 6138 and a CPU scoring approximately 5127, along with 4 GB of RAM. The game scales well across different graphics settings, making it easy to achieve smooth 60+ FPS on modest hardware, while higher-end GPUs can push performance even further for enhanced visual fidelity.
If you enjoy action RPGs with challenging combat and don't mind the isometric viewpoint, Darksiders Genesis is worth playing. With a solid 70/100 rating, it offers a compelling adventure that shouldn't tax your system too heavily.
Performance profile
December 2019 release. Darksiders Genesis was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
Darksiders Genesis is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Darksiders Genesis. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
Storyline
From the dawn of creation, the council has maintained the Balance across existence. Carrying out their orders are the Horsemen, Nephilim (powerful beings spawned from the unnatural union of angels and demons) who have pledged themselves to the Council and been granted immense power. However, this power came at a tragic cost: the Horsemen were ordered to use their newfound strength to wipe out the rest of their kind. What followed was a bloody battle on Eden where the Horsemen, obeying the will of the Council, annihilated the Nephilim.
