Gameplay

The Darkness II follows a similar combat template as the first game with the introduction of new features, such as a tactic dubbed "quad wielding," a technique which allows the protagonist Jackie Estacado to use both The Darkness and firearms simultaneously. There is a greater emphasis on the aspect of Darklings, with there now being only one primary Darkling who holds greater importance and is more involved in the storyline and who is useful in all situations; able to go to and lead Jackie to certain waypoints and show him important items during boss fights, and allow Jackie to use him in the same manner as "creeping dark" in the first game to go into hard-to-reach areas and kill enemies from across distances all the while looking through the Darkling's eyes. The Darkling will be able to interact with the environment by using items such as a worker drills to attack and torture Jackie's enemies and he will also be able to use standard weaponry such as pistols to attack or threaten them. Jackie can use the environment to his advantage, such as using car doors as shields and parking meters to eviscerate or impale enemies.[3] Unlike in the first game, Jackie can use both his weaponry and The Darkness in public places. The Darkness only disappears while in the light or for story purposes.

Visually, the game's textures are designed using a cel-shading technique, emulating the aesthetic of its graphic novel namesake. The style was achieved with the development artists hand painting the majority of the game assets, instead of relying on digital methods to create a comic book style.[4] Jackie can also use his demon arms for finishing moves in which the player can execute enemies in various gruesome ways; the Darkling can similarly use special attacks, such as urinating acid on enemies, poking out eyes with his thumbs, or ripping out throats. There's a new feature whereas each kill, heart collected and enemy urinated on add towards Jackie's 'dark essence'. a substance that clings to people and objects that have come in contact with The Darkness, which can be used to make purchases from a tree of abilities from 'talent shrines', such as 'black hole' which allows Jackie to charge a enemies' heart with energy and throw it to create a void of vacuum encased in darkness, the ability to see and attack through walls, 'swarm' which allows Jackie to summon a swarm of flies to disable and stun multiple enemies at once, and 'gun channeling' which gives Jackie unlimited ammunition and deals supernatural damage for a short period of time. The character and player feel more uncomfortable in light, with exposure to light resulting in blurring of vision occupied with a high pitched ringing.[5] Light will be more of a physical threat as well with there having a 'light vs darkness' feel.

Musician Mike Patton reprises his role as the voice of The Darkness, however Kirk Acevedo, who provided the voice of Jackie Estacado in the former game, will not be returning. In his place will be actor Brian Bloom.[6]

Plot

The Darkness II takes place two years after the events of the first game. Jackie Estacado, the current wielder of The Darkness has used his powers to become the Don of the Franchetti crime family. He has been unable to shake the thoughts of his dead girlfriend Jenny Romano and has since, with the help of estranged occultist Johnny Powell and his study into dark essence, contained his supernatural powers, and now The Darkness "wants out in the worst way". Just as Jackie lives the nice mafia life, he is hunted by the mysterious Victor Valente who wants the power for himself and for the old clan known as The Brotherhood who want The Darkness for themselves. Jackie is challenged to stop Valente and The Brotherhood who have also captured his Aunt Sara. In the way is the uncontrollable power of the Darkness and the haunting vision of Jenny who begins to stalk Jackie.

The game starts with Jackie talking to the player about his life and about The Darkness while sitting alone in a chair in a dark, seemingly endless room. Jackie pulls out a pendant with a small picture of his dead girlfriend Jenny and the scene shifts to Jackie getting out of a car and entering a luxurious restaurant. Jackie sits with two twins until one is shot in the head and a van crashes through the window, killing the other twin and heralding the start of a full-scale mob war, which has clearly been orchestrated by some outside force. The assassination attempt leaves Jackie on the verge of death and with no choice but to release The Darkness, sending him on a mission to discover the mystery of the attack and the motivations of The Darkness itself. This quest brings Jackie to an abandoned carnival and into a confrontation with Victor Valente, a mysterious figure who knows what The Darkness is and wants this power for himself. Victor is the head of an ancient secret society known as The Brotherhood, formed thousands of years ago by a saint for the sole purpose of protecting the world from The Darkness. However the saint became corrupted and now The Brotherhood wants The Darkness for themselves.

So far there have been two demos that have been released exclusively to game critics and have been received with high praise. The first depicts Jackie being crucified and tortured by a mob who want him to give up his powers. The second one shows Jackie experiencing an unexpected attack in a restaurant and then ultimately having a gun fight on the railway lines before being struck by an oncoming train.
