About the game
Darksiders 3 is a hack-n-slash action adventure-game where players play as FURY, sister of War and Death, who is the most enigmatic of the Four Horsemen, in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Fury mainly relies on whips, swords, flails, daggers and magic in combat. She can take on multiple different elemental forms in order to enhance her combat capabilities by granting her new weapons, attacks and traversal abilities. It is a sequel to Darksiders II and the third entry in the Darksiders series.
Features:
- Play as FURY – a mage who must rely on her whip and magic to restore the balance between good and evil on Earth!
- Harness FURY’s magic to unleash her various forms – each granting her access to new weapons, moves and traversal abilities.
- Explore an open-ended, living, free-form game world in which FURY moves back and forth between environments to uncover secrets while advancing the story.
- Defeat the Seven Deadly Sins and their servants who range from mystical creatures to degenerated beings.
- Sit in awe of Darksiders signature art style – expansive post-apocalyptic environments that take the player from the heights of heaven to the depths of hell, dilapidated by war and decay and overrun by nature.
