So, what I found myself doing is going back and re-farming from the beginning over and over again. Now not only will you spawn at the last Vulgrim location, but your lurcher (currency) count will reset to 0, and as such, EVERY ENEMY you killed will also respawn. Say you're wandering around and slaughtering enemies left and right for over an hour, but then you get caught and you end up dying. One of the most notable downfalls has to be with their lurcher currency and how it's lost upon death. This sense of grinding has been at the forefront of Darksiders since its inception, however, it's taken to a new extreme level in this latest release.

Going back to the beginning and finding new areas to explore that were once unreachable for you. It goes without saying that these new abilities mean one thing. One of them is based off the selected element she is currently using, which is activated with LB+RT, and the other one is her wrath form where she becomes an unrelenting powerful force of pure aggression but only does Arcane damage (you’ll hear more about Arcane damage later), and it only lasts for a short while. As Fury also eliminates enemies, she will be able to call upon 2 additional forms of attack. These new elemental powers are mapped to your A, B, X, and Y buttons, and can be called upon instantly with just a simple button combination such as LB + A. The flame enchantment will allow her to a propelled jump to reach new heights, the lightning enchantment will allow her to perform a glide move at the height of her double jump and can make use of wind vents to help propel her into the air and cross greater distances.

Think of these new powers almost as elemental enhancements. As Fury is tested, and passes, she will obtain new powers. While you play a rider of the apocalypse, you are without the necessary powers to complete your mission. Now the same principal background of obtaining new powers throughout the story also applies as well to this latest Darksiders entry. There is one character that thankfully makes their return to the game, the merchant Vulgrim a humble merchant of trinkets, consumables and artifacts for Fury. Each sin is represented in a manner that suits each representation: Wrath is a juggernaut of vengeance and power, Sloth is a lazy overweight character that would rather sacrifice his minions to do its work than exert force of his own and Lust is an enchantress of desire that will make you obtain everything you ever wanted for a price. Describing the balance between Heaven and Hell with humanity locked in the middle, and thankfully this story keeps to the same grounds. The story is what primarily made Darksiders such an iconic tale. While the council deliberates and investigates War's actions, Fury's job is to track down the Seven Deadly Sins who have broken loose from the Council's grasp and return them to the council so that order may be restored to the precious balance so eagerly sought.

Should anything delay that, and Fury will annihilate anything preventing that from occurring. While War was tormented, and Death seemed arrogant, Fury wants it all and wants it now. This time though, the horseman you play isn't War or Death, but this time you tell Fury's story.įury is the female horseman who is quite literally the most impatient and conceited horseman we have experienced to date. THQ Nordic casually released Darksiders III, and it literally picks up right where we left off from the previous two titles. News came of Darksiders being picked up, and with THQ Nordic now being at the helm of the IP, and it seemed like everything was green lit to be moving forward with the tale, all while everyone was clamoring over their Red Dead Redemption 2's, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. While the stories were told for War and Death, there were two stories whose fate was now up in the air, until now. Dark times fell upon THQ and the company dissolved, and in doing so, caused uncertainty in the future of the Darksiders’ stories. With little to no advertisement, Darksiders descended upon the public, like the horseman that they are, and was so surprisingly good that it spawned its own cult following by being the literal definition of a sleeper hit. In the past, THQ (who is now THQ Nordic) has provided us such tales in the Darksiders series. One of the greatest sources of all story material relates to the eternal battle between Heaven and Hell, where Earth and humanity is caught in the middle.
