Developed by Vigil Games
- Role-playing (RPG), Hack and slash/Beat 'em up, Adventure, Action
Apocalyptic power of War: Unleash the wrath of War, combining brutal attacks and supernatural abilities to decimate all who stand in your way. Epic quest: Battle across the wastelands and demon-infested dungeons of the decimated Earth in your quest for vengeance and redemption. Character progression: Uncover powerful ancient relics, upgrade your weapons, unlock new abilities, and customize your gameplay style. Battle Heaven and Hell: Battle against all who stand in your way—from war-weary angelic forces to Hell's hideous demon hordes. Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. In the ensuing slaughter, demonic forces defeated the Heavenly Hosts and laid claim to the Earth. Brought before the sacred Charred Council, War is indicted for his crimes and stripped of his powers. Dishonored and facing his own demise, War is given the opportunity to find redemption by returning to Earth to search for the truth—and to punish those responsible. Hunted by vengeful Angels, War must forge uneasy alliances with the very demons he hunts as he journeys across the ravaged remains of Earth on his quest for vindication.
