While some critics have been giving
Darksiders III the lowest scores possible, the vast majority of critics seem to agree that it's an extremely flawed, but also quite fun and rewarding game. There's no denying that the slasher title's art direction (and overall design) is one of its best parts, just like Fury's comic-booky superpowers that allows her to easily channel four totally different Hallow forms.
THQ Nordic has released a new trailer for
Darksiders III that spotlights Fury's super-saiyan powers. First of them, the Stasis Hollow enables Fury use a Stasis Wall Grab jump near walls that carry a stasis aura. Like X-Men's Iceman, Fury is able to walk on the surface of water and kill enemies with Scorn, a perfectly balanced weapon capable of splitting into two blades at will while the Stasis Hollow is active.
Another form, the Flame Hollow envelops Fury in a brilliant orange blaze. Inspired by the burning power of the Fire Hollow, Scorn, the hilt that Fury carries with her at all times, takes the form of two blazing flails. Fury uses the flails to dispatch enemies with violent elegance. The third, Storm Hollow sends surges of calamitous electricity through her hilt Scorn, now a spear, as it shocks nearby enemies into submission. Fury can also charge and throw the useful spear to hit targets at range.
Finally, the Force Hollow allows Fury the collection and precise focusing of energy into concentrated attacks. With Scorn, Fury’s hilt, taking on the appearance of a giant hammer, Fury can shatter her enemy’s defenses and inflict severe damage. Scorn can also act as a focal point for magnetic attraction allowing Fury to draw in energy, rubble, and even enemies, before releasing it all in a single explosive burst. With great effort, Fury can even maintain this magnetic sphere to traverse walls and ceilings.
Take a look:
Return to an apocalyptic Earth in Darksiders III, a hack-n-slash Action Adventure where players assume the role of FURY in her quest to hunt down and dispose of the Seven Deadly Sins. The most unpredictable and enigmatic of the Four Horsemen, FURY must succeed where many have failed – to bring balance to the forces that now ravage Earth. Darksiders III is the long-anticipated, third chapter in the critically-acclaimed Darksiders franchise.
Darksiders III is available on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One NOW!
