![]() Instead of obtaining new weapons with varying stats, you can upgrade each weapon ten times, using items you find throughout the world, as well as attach various ‘enhancements’ which can also be upgraded five times each. You have a ‘Barbs of Scorn’ which is your standard attack as you whip your enemies to death, as well as one secondary attack for each of Fury’s four ‘modes’ and also a throwing ‘Crossblade’ which is very similar to the weapon used in Dark Sector last gen. Darksiders III has six weapons in the whole game. We also say goodbye to the multitude of weapons you can pick up and buy from the dealer. If you attack as soon as you’ve performed this, you’ll jump in and hit your foe with unblockable critical hits, until they recover a few seconds later. R1 has you dashing and dodging, pushing it just before receiving a hit will put you in slow-motion as you shimmy to the side or backward, just like we saw in Star Ocean: The Last Hope. How do you counter this? Simple, with a counter-attack. You can still do this, but the enemies block, they’ll counter-attack, they will call on buddies to come behind you and then eventually slaughter you with a very small number of impactful attacks. As stated above, Darksiders III has taken a different approach to the franchise and tried to spin it a little to deliver a more strategic and time-based combat system over button bashing the attack over and over again and hoping for a kill. So, let’s take a detailed look at Darksiders III and see if it’s worth your time…įirst things first, the controls. Fortunately, as you progress further into the game and begin to upgrade your arsenal, things change and the game becomes more accessible and balanced. That’s right, the rumours were true – Darksiders III feels a bit like you’re playing a Dark Souls game in terms of its combat, especially in the beginning 5-10 hours where everything will take you down with a few hits. It’s made a shift from full-on slice and dice combat, such as the old God of War games, and opted for a more strategic and precise combat which we’ve seen in games like Vampyr – which clearly got inspiration from the Dark Souls games. However, fans of the initial two games may get a little shock at how Darksiders III plays in terms of its mechanics. Following a structure more akin to Darksiders II over Darksiders I, you’ll be faced with epic battles, lots of environmental puzzles, and some exploration within this Metroidvania-style 3D Action-Adventure game. Despite the title, Fury is a badass female who’ll stop at nothing to achieve her goal, even if it means slicing up giant creatures and multitudes of fallen angels! You’ve been sent to Earth in the wake of her brother’s previous visits in an attempt to defeat and capture all seven of the Deadly Sins for ‘The Council’ as a vague possibility to restore peace and order to the world. But is it fun? I’ve played the game for over 40 hours and beaten it last night, so let’s find out…ĭarksiders III has you take control of Fury, one of the Four Horsemen (as previous iterations have seen us play as both Death and War). Why am I bringing this up? Because Darksiders III is also buggy, contains glitches, has some rather unusual visual issues and performance problems. Gunfire Games were the team behind the impressive, yet technically flawed, Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition this generation – a game riddled with bugs, glitches, game-breaking moments and even save corruptions at one point. The originals were created by Vigil Games, which was owned by THQ back in the day until they went bust, at which point most of the staff moved over to Gunfire Games, a new studio set up by one of Vigil Games’ founders. Not only were Darksiders I and II released on the previous gen, but they were also both fully remastered on current gen systems along with new resolution bumps for the mid-gen consoles. Darksiders is a franchise which everyone has heard of yet a lot of people haven’t really taken the time to try out yet, which is a shame as it’s an interesting set of games.
