We have good news for those of you who like action-adventure hack and slash games as we have a neat screenshot of Darksiders running on Linux!
Leszek Godlewski, a developer for Nordic Games who has worked on Deadfall Adventures, tweeted a picture showing Darksiders running on Linux. Seeing those KDE window decorations is surely a good sign coming from any developer. For now there isn't much info about the port, but we will keep you informed when we find out more about it.

Darksiders is a third-person action-adventure hack and slash game set into a realm divided into three kingdoms: Kingdom of Hell, Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Man. Heaven and Hell have waged war with each other since the dawn of the ages and their conflict has proven to be harmful to the stability of the realm. A mediator group called The Charred Council is trying to maintain the balance and thus they created the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, which consists of War, Death, Strife and Fury.
You play as Horseman War, who goes out to bring order into the chaos the conflict is causing to the realm. You need to explore the land, complete puzzles and engage in combat with your foes using your two-handed sword or the weapons you find throughout the game.
Something to note is that yes it is a native port:

this is all nice and stuff, but do please remember Deathfall Adventure, same publisher (nordic), with many bugs still standing the porter (same as on this game) got pulled and is now thus working on darksiders, not his fault he got pulled but would be nice if nordic stuck to their ports till they sort of bug free.

Since he's actually properly employed I hope they keep him on to tune performance and fix bugs once it's out, as his port of Painkiller was terribly slow to load.

Right now they have corrected some errors in loads and in some textures. The slow loads is a problem with the Unreal Engine. The wrote this two days ago:

Hello,
We just set a patch live that should fix the texture issue and a couple of other things related to shadercache.
We are happy to hear your feedback.
Thanks!

Darksiders? Thought that was a Microsoft published one...
It does not make a great difference. Most of Klei Entertainment's games were published by Microsoft as well, and we still got Linux ports of those.
The game came out in 2010 for crying out loud! Marvellous! Love this sort of effort.
I still fail to see how a game that came out only four years ago can really be considered old.

Same, but that is what CD Projekt RED apologists will have you believe, and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is only 3 years old at that. Darksiders must be ancient in comparison.The game came out in 2010 for crying out loud! Marvellous! Love this sort of effort.I still fail to see how a game that came out only four years ago can really be considered old.

I am glad to see more games coming to Linux but I found Darksiders to be boring and just a bad game. Dated graphics, poor PC port with limited graphics options and poor mouse/keyboard support. Unless they plan to fix some of the overall issues with the PC version than I can't see myself getting excited for this.
