The series is set in a post-apocalyptic world where players control one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, primarily focusing on War, Death, Strife, and Fury. Each game combines elements of combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration, featuring a rich narrative inspired by biblical themes and mythology. The first game, released in 2010, introduced players to War, who is falsely accused of triggering the apocalypse. Subsequent titles explore the stories of the other Horsemen, expanding the lore and gameplay mechanics. The series is known for its distinctive art style, engaging combat, and deep storytelling.
