They had me at "Devil May Cry inspired combat".
This game will be a great addition to the Hack n Slash genre.
From Wikipedia:
"The player takes on the role of War, one of the four legendary Horsemen
of the apocalypse; the apocalypse has just taken place prematurely, and
the world destroyed, and War finds himself tasked to find out who was
behind this; caught in a battle between angels and demons, he has lost
much of his power, and must find out where the other horsemen are, and
who misled them into starting the final battle."
With God Of War and Devil May Cry inspired combat and puzzles and Zelda style levels and dungeon, you wield a multitude of weapons, including Chaoseater, War's sword, and special powers, such as War's Chaos form. When you're not using those, you're riding atop Ruin, your steed of fire and destruction.
The game is more free range than either Devil May Cry or God Of War, so enjoy the freedom. With item enhancement, skill upgrades, and armor customization features, it truly lets you make War YOUR OWN.
Preview/Full Rundown:
Fun little fact: War is voiced by Liam O'Brien, the voice of Gaara in Naruto [english dub].
