This time the war between Heaven and Hell rages on and Fury must track down the Seven Deadly Sins to bring them to justice. As she travels the world she'll come face to face with tough foes, but thanks to an assortment of weapons at her disposal she can make quick work of them thanks to a fast paced combat system. Darksiders 3 also allows Fury to tap into her powers and access new areas that may hold secrets or upgrades.
Unlike previous entries in the Darksiders series, enemies are much tougher and will require players to learn the moves of each enemy in order to survive. On the flip side though you'll see less enemies at once which balances things out a little. As you defeat each foe you will gain currency that can be used to upgrade and craft various tools. By defeating the Seven Deadly Sins, Fury will grow in power and the world around you will adapt to match her level.

Like any good horsemen Fury has a trusty steed to aide her in her journey, and she'll be travel the world with her horse Rampage in order to move around the environments quicker. She also has the ability to use her whip to swing across gaps and use her traversal moves to find new areas.
