Arksiders III departs somewhat from the beat-em-up gameplay of the previous entries and incorporates more elements from Metroidvanias and Soulslikes. Taking place parallel to the first Darksiders game, the player controls Fury, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in her quest to capture the seven deadly sins which have taken corporeal form and escaped imprisonment. In their quest, players can use a variety of melee and magical weapons and gain experience points and currency to upgrade Fury's powers and weapons.
