Darksiders II is only $7.99 on the Wii U eShop

Darksiders 2 Wii U

Christmas is coming a bit early if you enjoy the Darksiders series. Darksiders II has received a temporary discount on the Wii U, bringing the price down to just $7.99. The action-adventure RPG mimics the Legend of Zelda formula, in which there are dungeon-style environments you must enter to solve and receive a new weapon for your journey. Whereas the first game saw players taking control of War, one of the horsemen of the apocalypse, players control Death, the elder horseman in this game.

This game also includes Argul’s Tomb, the Death Rides Pack and the Deadly Despair pack. That’s all pre-order content that was included in the bundled release for the Wii U version. Those who prefer to play their games untainted by UI options should be aware that this game utilizes the Wii U GamePad in order to manage Death’s inventory and abilities, as well as the map.

While I have not played the game on the Wii U verison, I highly recommend it at this price because the game is a fun romp, especially if you’ve already managed to play the original Darksiders on another console or PC.
