Darksiders III is the latest in the Darksiders series, bringing you back to an apocalyptic Earth where everything has really gone to hell. Darksiders has aIways reminded me of a more adult Zelda with a hack-n-slash bend to it, where players assume the role of one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. In the past, you take on the role of War and Death, but in Darksiders III you become the female Fury, wielding a sweet whip as she hunts down and eliminates of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The Crucible basically looks like a wave based challenge mode that you would find for free in a lot of other games, but it does have a lot of content, in the form of 101 waves. There's also new armor sets, new enchantments and rare crafting materials to improve your weapons and enhancements. Here's the official breakdown:
Only the strongest warriors throughout history gained access to the Crucible. To prove you are worthy, capture the first of the Deadly Sins once and for all. Do that and Vulgrim will show you the way. The more Sins you defeat, the further into the Crucible you may pass.
Once you have entered the Crucible, enemies will come at you in 25 waves. If you survive a set of five, you are given a choice: take your reward and leave or proceed and risk losing everything. Endure all one hundred waves in one go, and you will face the final challenge.
The Crucible is out now for PC, PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One for $6.99.
