Argument

The story of Darksiders III takes place in parallel with the events of the two previous games, in what is described as a ruinous planet Earth destroyed by war. Follow the protagonist Fury, sister of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse in her quest to pursue and destroy the seven deadly sins.

Furia is summoned by the scorched Council and charged with finding one of the greatest dangers to the scorched council, the Seven Deadly Sins; even so the council distrusts the riders so one of the council watchers will accompany her in her search.

Upon reaching a post-apocalyptic Earth torn by war, Fury encounters the first of the sins, Envy. After the defeat of Envy, Fury steals a talisman and uses it as a prison to keep Envy along with the other sins it would encounter. Not long after, he finds his way to a tree called Haven, where he meets Ulthane, who is a previous character of Darksiders 1, and some human survivors of the apocalypse. Ulthane orders Fury to send any Human who finds Haven. Then he goes to find the next sin that is Wrath and Ulthane gives him the location. When he gets to fight against anger, he is dedicated to fight and kill the angels. When she almost kills Wrath, she summons her horse Rampage, who is killed by a mysterious angelic weapon. Out of anger, Fury loses focus and Wrath stabs her while he mocks her. With her dying breath, she takes the sword in her guts and uses it to stab Wrath in the face, but he does not die because he was not imprisoned in the Talisman of sin. While Fury was dying on the ground, a portal of fire takes her to the Lord of the Hollows. The Lord of the Hollows is a powerful entity within the Hollows that helps Fury in his quest to destroy the Seven Deadly Sins that wield the power that allows the Angels and Demons tired of endless war, to a liberation Complete of the cycle of life, Death and rebirth of the well of souls. The hollow Lord helps Fury, but his own goals remain unknown. Mr. Hollow tries to inform Fury that he is being mani[CENSORED]ted by the Charred Council for his machinations, even calling her ignorant and blind to her plans and lies. Although Furia denies it.

While Fury takes one sin after another, the Lord of Hollows continues to provide new gaps to help in his mission. When he arrives at the Abraxis fortress, Fury wants to know why the Lord of Hollows wants Abraxis to die. Abraxis tells Fury that a new dark lord is approaching and is only known as The Destroyer. The devil explains that the Lord of Hollows attempts to empty the mortal kingdom to install a new order. Since this is an option in history, if you decide to believe in Abraxis, the demon will thank you and welcome you to his master's house at any time. Once you return to the Lord of Hollows, you will still have the option of facing him in combat or choosing to believe him. If you follow through Abraxis, the Lord of Hollows will simply be killed. However, if he accepts to believe the Lord of Hollows and confronts Abraxis, I will kill him and take his soul as a reward. In which the first will reveal details of his own past and the corruption of the councils. How the Lord of Hollows was once a welcome delegate sitting at his table, but soon he became disillusioned with his obsessions and half measures to impose balance; it only monitors the first and second kingdoms, while leaving the third to fend for itself. Culminating in supplicating ignorance when in truth they let humanity be devastated by the premature apocalypse in its guard. Going to explain his soul gap and entrust his will to Fury was his way to repair the eternity of inaction before ending his own life, while leaving a new element for players to use in the future. I will reveal the details of your own past and the corruption tips.

Gameplay

Darksiders III is an action and adventure videogame. Players take control of Fury, War Sister and Death, two of the four riders of the Apocalypse, from a third-person perspective. Fury, is a magician who is described as the most unpredictable and enigmatic of the Four Horsemen, is based on whips, swords, daggers and magic in combat. Fury can adopt multiple different elemental forms to improve its combat capabilities by granting it new weapons, attacks and crossover skills. One of these many forms is a flame form.

The enemies are stronger than in the previous installments, but they appear in smaller numbers during the matches, to make the battles feel more personal. Some enemies of previous video games return, while other enemies are new. Closed combat is not a characteristic, in an attempt to contextualize and interconnect everything that is within the environment. The game takes place in a continuous open world environment where exploration plays an important role. While exploring, Fury must solve riddles and overcome platform obstacles, some of which make use of his whip. These puzzles include the use of bombs and the shape of a flame to blow up roads and obstructed materials in the environment.

Darksiders III has a leveling system and a processing system. Similar to War, but different from Death, Furia collects the souls of enemies and objects in the environment, as a form of currency or a dispensable resource. According to the developer, the threats of the videogame world will become stronger as the player progresses in history, equaling the power of Fury each time a mortal sin is defeated.
