My issues really started as soon as I encountered Envy, the first boss.

At first glance, despite the obvious downgrade in graphical quality which is almost expected for most Switch ports, the game certainly benefits from taking it on the go… Until the performance issues pop up. The biggest advantage of playing Darksiders III on the Nintendo Switch is its portability. The story is also intriguing, especially with the deep lore they’ve provided with the horsemen and their current adversaries, the Seven Deadly Sins. This time, there are more interactions with other NPC’s, not giving the world a desolate and lonely look like the previous games. What makes Darksiders III enjoyable though is that it still follows the same Darksiders Zelda-like loop, where you get stronger with every boss you defeat and open up new areas with the new tools you have collected. That said, that game is still quite difficult, magnified due to a sloppy port. I’d like to propose to call the game a Souls-lite as it has some mechanics of the game to a Soulslike, but it doesn’t have the crushing difficulty that comes along with it.
DARKSIDERS 3 RELEASE DATE SERIES
This alone may turn off fans of the series who have been spoiled by the more action-oriented combat implementation of the first 2 games. The main difference that Darksiders III has over its predecessors is its change in combat mechanics, which sees this latest entry adopt a more strategic and deliberate take, hence its comparison to Souls titles when it was first released back in 2018. With its release on the Switch, Darksiders III gets a new lease on life, one that can now be played on the go. Observed by a Watcher and requested by one of the Makers to save what’s left of humanity, Fury is now given a choice on whether to maintain the status quo or to restore balance to the shattered world. Bored after centuries of being sidelined, Fury accepts the task as she travels to Earth. Fury, one of the horsemen, has been tasked by the Council to banish the Seven Deadly Sins that roam post-apocalyptic Earth. The Switch hasn’t been the best place to play popular multi-console releases due to some compromises, so it would be interesting to see how this entry fares.ĭarksiders III‘s story continues from when we left off.
DARKSIDERS 3 RELEASE DATE PORTABLE
I’ve long skipped the series until this most recent release where Darksiders III takes its adventure, warts and all, to Nintendo’s portable machine.

It’s been a decade since I played Darksiders on the Xbox 360, and I have to say, I enjoyed that experience.
