Darksiders III | Xbox One

About the Game

Darksiders III is an action role-playing game in which players return to an apocalyptic Earth assuming the role of Fury, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. From a behind view, she fights enemies using her whip and Hollow weapons acquired throughout the game. The combat is no longer combo-focused with varied ground and aerial moves, rooms full of enemies and a hit counter.

Gameplay & Core Systems

Combat scenarios are not "gated" anymore, so players can choose between eliminating enemies spread throughout the map, or simply passing them. The leveling system and buffs are now a central part of the gameplay. Enemies drop Souls when they are killed, just as in the first Darksiders , but now the Souls are dropped every time players dies. Souls are used as a form of currency, but are also an integral part of the leveling system. Upon reaching a checkpoint, players can talk to Vulgrim and trade them for points to be spent in either health, damage, or arcane damage upgrades.

Standout Features

• They then take the form of a glowing blue sphere which can be recovered by hitting it, and are placed somewhere near the point of of the last death.
• Weapons can be given perks by equipping them with Runes.
• These can be upgraded upon talking to Ulthane and providing him with the proper materials that can be collected by exploring different areas in the game.
• Fury: The game's difficulty is scaled every time Fury defeats one of the Sins, and all enemies in the game are buffed to match her level.
