DARKWATCH GAME POSTERS TRIAL
Except your trial by fire is a little more harsher you for human recruits seeing that you are. He is thrown in chains before Darkwatch commander Clay Cartwright and conscripted into the order. With her help, he reaches the Darkwatch Citadel and is received in the way you might expect when a vampire walks into the headquarters for a vampire-hunting organization. When all hope seems lost, he is guided by the ghost of Cassidy, who by this point on serves as Jericho's conscience and encourages him to do the right thing. Well, right after the tutorial is over, Cassidy Sharpe is murdered by Lazarus and Jericho is left on his own inside a abandoned mine.
Despite the small time they spend together, they made a good team You think this critical piece of the plot would be mentioned in the story itself, but it never happens. According to the Darkwatch timeline, they has been fighting vampires since the fall of the Roman Empire and Lazarus himself founded and leaded the organization up until he was possessed by a demon in a attempt to control the powers of darkness and became the Darkwatch's greatest enemy.
DARKWATCH GAME POSTERS MANUAL
What is pretty disappointing about the plot is that the most interesting bits of worldbuilding are featured in the manual or the (now defunct) website that you can check out on IGN. Whatever your decision to play as either a good guy or a bad guy, you still need to kill your sire no matter what. you were turned into a vampire and you are given a choice between cling to what is left of your humanity or embrace the monster within. Sounds pretty dull, huh? Well, the game features a morality system like in the Bioware games.
The plot goes in a very simplistic fashion as it was with many FPS games released at the time, there wasn't much depth or backstory to begin with, it was mostly go from point A to point B. Guided by Cassidy, he now must search for the Darkwatch, a secret organization devoted to fighting against the supernatural evil and helping them hunt down and destroy Lazarus, all while you can still cling to what is left to your humanity or descent into further darkness. As if that wasn't bad enough, Jericho is bitten in the process and turned into a bloodsucker. Though a mysterious woman called Cassidy Sharpe tries to stop Jericho from blowing the vault, he unwittingly releases the vampire from his prison cell and with him, a terrible curse that unleashes all kinds of undead horrors upon the West. But in fact, a 1000-year old vampire-demon named Lazarus Malkoth. Well you couldn't have a picked a worse train to rob, cause there is no gold aboard. Behind you lies a bloody trail of robbery and revenge. It's 1876, and an age of darkness has come upon The Wild West. Summary Seriously, who would not want to play this game? Unfortunately this game passed under the radar at the time, and now it's a underrated gem.
Gosh, how I wish someone revisited that game. Yeah, Darkwatch's ideas may not have been original, but they were quite neat and entertening, there was the chance of a sequel there was enough room to improve and bring out something awesome. What in the bloody hell is that? Well its a FPS game developed by High Moon Studios (also responsible for Transformers: War/Fall of Cybertron games and, recently, Deadpool) and released by Capcom on the US and Ubisoft in the UK. Way before John Marston was shooting zombies in the face looking for a cure to his undead wife and son on Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, Jericho Cross was shooting vampires in the face looking to curse himself on Darkwatch.
