As well as having to fight hell's minions, War has to contend with a group of vengeful angels that are bent on bringing him to justice.
That way, not every important demon met in the game has to be defeated.
War can make alliances with some of them when there are mutual interests.
The game has third-person hack-and-slash gameplay with a large variety in weapons and combos.
These can be leveled up and are expanded with enhancements that provide active and passive abilities.
Other actions include dodging, blocking, finishing off enemies with a special move, double jumping and gliding using wings, climbing ledges, throwing objects in the environment, and a mix of ranged-weapon and melee attacks.
Defeating enemies provides blue souls.

Another important means of attack is Wrath.
Enemies leave behind yellow clouds of this material and it is used to fill up a meter to perform special actions.
Much of the game is spent fighting along with typical platform puzzle elements.

About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.
Gamevaro tracks Darksiders II for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Darksiders II to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2012.
