So apparently the Apocalypse has come forth, and the world is toast... completely, Heaven lost this card game and now yeah... human are extinct, demons run ramped and every one is pissed.

Every one blames one of the four hoursmen, War. War had nothing to do with it, and tells his captors, "Send me back to earth so that I may prove my self innocent."

And thats were the games begins. You play as one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse... and my god is it sexy. Q_Q

Looks neat enough, good voice acting casting thats for sure. The art style is also rather well done.... The gameplay looks a bit stale though, we will have to see.

[Xiphus]

So you get to play as WAR?

Do we get to encounter Plague, Famine and Death too?

[Nazshakul]

I always thought the White Horseman represented Conquest. He was given a crown and a bow after all. Conquest, War, Famine, Death.

[Xiphus]

Oh, wait, isn't Plague supposed to be Pestilence instead? I remember there's Pestilence. Four Horsemen: War, Pestilence, Famine and Death.

[Nazshakul]

Well I think it goes:

Red: War
Pale/Green: Death
Black: Famine
White: Pestilence(?)

Are you sure white is pestilence and not conquest? Why am I thinking that it is then? O.o

[Xiphus]

I stand corrected. Biblical references apparently started with Conquest, then War, followed by Famine and ending with Death.

However, there is an alternate take on the concept and replaces Conquest with Pestilence. And then there is yet another take that states that it was Jesus on the White Horse. If it were Jesus, Conquest would make sense. And another another take that places the Holy Spirit in that position.

[Swerto]

Post apocalyptic fantasy?


Fucking awesome.


Looks like a God Of War style game, which is really effing awesome.

Hack and slash, beat the fuck out of everything, WOOT!

[Xiphus]

Better still, this time, you ain't a God of War, you ARE WAR personified.

[Agnarr]

I'd rather play Death.

[Gorvena]

WOULD YOU TALK IN ALL CAPS?

[Nazshakul]

I think they also have it wrong, the red horseman was the 2nd one unleashed, not the first. :P Silly game developers.

[Okhu]

Its a fantasy game.

[Yichimet]

Our culture is obsessed with a God who wants to kill us.

I believe you do encounter the other horsemen... ^.^

[Okhu]

Pretty sure the other three are bosses.

[Swerto]

I believe you do encounter the other horsemen... ^.^
They explain that in the game video, along with how they stupidly renamed Pesitlence and Famine.

Also God of War was COMPLETELY inaccurate to Greek Mythology, but it was still fucking AWESOME. This game looks fun, and it looks like a good story, somewhere between Devil May Cry and God of War gameplay.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED, ALBERT, BUT THAT WAS AN WISECRACK.

[Ulroci]

I am reserving judgment on this game, but at the same time am looking forward to it and hope that it is well done.
