Darksiders III

2018Role-playing (RPG)Hack and slash/Beat 'em upAdventure

Return to an apocalyptic planet Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash action adventure where players take on the role of FURY in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Charred Council calls upon Fury to battle from the heights of heaven down through the depths of hell in a quest to restore humanity and prove that she is the most powerful of the Horsemen. As a mage, FURY relies on her whip and magic to restore the balance between good and evil. The expansive, Darksiders III game world is presented as an open-ended, living, free-form planet Earth that is dilapidated by war and decay, and overrun by nature. FURY will move back and forth between environments to uncover secrets while advancing the Darksiders III story.

What it’s about — and how it feels

Darksiders III casts Fury, a whip-wielding Horseman, across a ruined Earth where nature has begun to reclaim the wreckage of war. Her hunt for the Seven Deadly Sins links mythic combat to a world built for backtracking and discovery, as she moves between battered landscapes, uncovers hidden routes and uses shifting magical powers to meet each threat.

More on your wavelength

Three titles that echo something distinctive in this one, with a quick note on the connection.

NieR: Automata poster

NieR: Automata

Like Darksiders III, NieR: Automata sets a capable fighter against a world overtaken by hostile forces, pairing close-quarters action with a post-apocalyptic landscape; NieR centers its story on androids and machines rather than a Horseman’s mythic quest.

Bayonetta poster

Bayonetta

Both games turn supernatural combat into spectacle: Bayonetta’s witch fights angels with balletic, extravagant moves, while Fury’s whip and magic shape a harsher trek through ruined terrain.

Darksiders II

Darksiders II shares the series’ ruined-world exploration, mythic Horseman premise and hack-and-slash combat, but follows Death through a broader open world with extensive equipment and skill customization.
