About this game
Darksiders III follows Fury through an Earth scarred by the apocalypse. You fight the Seven Deadly Sins and their servants using her whip and magic, then explore the environments between confrontations. Magical forms expand her weapons, moves and traversal abilities, giving you different tools for combat and movement. Progress also involves revisiting environments to uncover secrets while continuing the story. War-damaged places overtaken by nature form the backdrop to this journey. The Nintendo Switch release includes The Crucible, which concentrates on waves of arena combat, and Keepers of the Void, which adds locations with puzzles and enemies. These additions extend the adventure through distinct combat and exploration activities.
