Recently Darksiders III developer Gunfire Games has released a patch for the hack and slash as 2018 which brings a list of fixes and improvements to the November launched title. One new feature alongside all the touch ups added is a classic combat mode to choose when playing the game’s main story campaign.

Similar to the standard combat mode from games prior, players will now be able to choose Classic atop of the already set Default mode when starting a game or loading a save with the new update downloaded. The patch reads that changing the combat at anytime “has no other effects on difficulty or achievements.”

Amid the addition of the new combat mode, some fixes listed in the patch notes when naming a few like improved ledge grab detection for Fury, increased the level cap to 200, more checkpoints, and a handful of increases for certain enhancements to better balance gameplay. For the full list of changes for all platforms, you can read that here.

Rectify’s Dave Rodriquez ranked Darksiders III a 9/10, stating the latest iteration to be “a return to the tightly designed action-adventure games that recent AAA titles have sorely missed.” For the full review, click here to read up on his decision for the title’s high reception.
