The Darkness II

The Darkness II is a first-person shooter about Jackie Estacado, head of a New York crime family and wielder of an ancient force of chaos and destruction called The Darkness. Two years after using that power to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend Jenny’s murder, Jackie still cannot escape the memory of her death. He has kept his supernatural power bottled up, but The Darkness wants out.

A sudden attack by the Brotherhood, a mysterious organization, begins a full-scale war and opens the way for The Darkness to return. Jackie’s journey takes him through tragedy, modern crime drama and supernatural horror, into hell and worse. The story was written for the game by comic book author Paul Jenkins.

Fight with the Demon Arms

You can slash, grab and throw objects and enemies with the Demon Arms while firing two weapons at once. Mastering the arms and summoning The Darkness’s powers adds further attacks to your arsenal.

The Darkness’s powers work only in shadows, so you use the environment to your advantage and watch for enemies who wield light as a weapon. The game combines graphic-novel shading and color with film-noir lighting.

Co-op campaign

The campaign supports four-player co-op. Each player can choose one of four distinct characters, all capable of wielding weapons infused with Darkness powers.
