The best way to describe this is that it's Zelda where you murder everything. The basis of the game is that you are the Horseman War and the Apocalypse has been unleashed but not totally. There was a problem and you have been stripped of your powers and turned into a unwilling slave as punishment. 
 
You have a multitude of weapons and tools from a Sword up to a hook shot that you can use to pull opponents closer to you or you closer to them (depending on the size). You can purchase new abilities and combos for War's weapons and you pay with the souls that are released from your targets. There are quite a few puzzles to solve adding to the challenge of the game (specially when you get the portal gun).  
 
This is a great game and I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I look forward to the release of a sequel.
