Once he has been found, he plunges the Spear of Destiny, having been used to contain Jackies dark essence following his capture, into his chest transforming himself into a flying hell beast, very dragon-like in appearance. The first mission requires you to find and bring Johnny Powell to the Mansion, and as artifacts are uncovered the player(s) have to look for the Spear of Destiny at a heavily armed business facility owned by a millionaire named David Graves. The player(s) are tasked to assault settlements belonging to the Brotherhood to gain information, eliminate a target, or obtain an artifact.

Each character has two unique upgrade trees corresponding to their unique weapon and darkness power, and a third tree improves the characters skill with guns. There is also a Hit List option where players can replay specific missions from the Vendettas campaign as well as new ones specific to the Hit List mode. The campaign has both single player and online co-operative play options. The Vendettas campaign happens at the same time as the game's main campaign and focuses on securing dark relics from Brotherhood agents. Vendettas is a mode where the player plays as one of four hit men who each have specific Darkness powers and go on missions for Jackie. Light will be more of a physical threat as well with there having a 'light vs darkness' feel. The character and player feel more uncomfortable in light, with exposure to light resulting in blurring of vision occupied with a high pitched ringing. The Darkness only disappears while in the light or for story purposes.Įach 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 an 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. Unlike in the first game, Jackie can use both his weaponry and The Darkness in public places. Jackie can use the environment to his advantage, by using car doors as shields and parking meters to kill enemies.

The Darkling is able to interact with the environment by using items such as a worker drills to attack and torture Jackie's enemies and he can also use standard weaponry such as pistols to attack or threaten them. 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 to go into hard-to-reach areas and kill enemies at a distance, while looking through the Darkling's eyes. 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.
