Darksiders III is an action role-playing game where the player controls Fury, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as she hunts down and defeats the Seven Deadly Sins. From a behind-view perspective, Fury fights enemies using her whip and Hollow weapons acquired throughout the game.
The combat system has changed from combo-focused to a slower, more methodical approach, focusing on Fury's dodge and counter abilities. The player can choose to eliminate or ignore enemies, adding to the game's flexibility.
The leveling system plays a central role in the gameplay, with enemies dropping Souls that can be recovered and used as currency or upgraded through the character's skills.
Weapons can be enhanced with Runes, which can be upgraded by providing materials collected during exploration. The game's difficulty level increases after defeating each of the Sins, making the challenges more formidable.
