ĭarksiders III focuses on its leveling system in which Fury's damage, health, and arcane damage can be upgraded. Gated combat is not a feature, in an attempt to make everything within the setting contextualized and interconnected like the Souls series. Some enemies from previous games return, while other foes are new. Enemies are stronger than in previous installments but appear in smaller numbers during encounters, so as to make battles feel more personal. The combat is described as more methodical and straight forward not focusing on large crowds of enemies like the previous games and removing the hit counter. Fury can take on multiple different elemental forms in order to enhance her combat capabilities by granting her new weapons, attacks and traversal abilities. Fury, a mage who is described as the most unpredictable and enigmatic of the Four Horsemen, relies on whips, swords, flails, daggers and magic in combat. Players take control of Fury, sister of War and Death, two of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, from a third-person perspective.
