The game follows the story of War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He is tasked with finding a way to prevent the destruction of humanity by finding the Seven Deadly Sins. War's quest takes him through various realms, each based on a different deadly sin, such as Pride and Lust. Along the way, he encounters other characters from the Darksiders universe, including Death and Death's sister, Fury.
The gameplay involves exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving. The game uses the GamePad as an inventory screen to quickly choose weapons, powers and protective outerwear instead of using the regular in-game menu. Optional control methods include jolting the GamePad to spur Death's horse or tilting it to roll around keys for puzzles in ancient temples. The game can also be played with the Pro Controller.
