As much as I hate to say it since this comparison is made far too often, Darksiders III takes inspiration from the Souls series in several ways.

Vulgrim also sells armor, though it is very expensive and will require you to decide whether you wish to save souls for upgrade points, or purchase armor and other upgrades. Vulgrim now takes Souls from you and will either sell you items or if you feed him souls directly, he will give you attribute points.Īttribute points are essentially level-up points that you use to increase health, physical damage, or arcane damage.

More agile than her brother War from the original in the series, and having a different flow of combat from her brother Death in the sequel, traversal using her whip to swing around and more technique-driven combat are what drives this entry. Carrying on the story as the third of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, this time around you’ll be taking on the role of Fury, adding a little distinction for being the lone female of the bunch.
