* MorphWeapon: Scorn, fury's main weapon, is technically only a magical hilt. By default, it manifests as a WhipSword. Depending on Fury's current form, it can also take the form of a [[EpicFlail pair of flails]], a lance, [[DropTheHammer a massive hammer]], and a combination [[BifurcatedWeapon broadsword and twin swords]].

->''Famine is probably the biggest cock of them all ... He's like Wrestling/ArnAnderson in the sense that he's the craftiest and most diabolical of the Horsemen.''

* BonusBoss: Scattered across the game world you will stumble across the Chosen, which are palette swaps of some of the game's nastier enemies. They are generally fairly scary and don't drop any spirits, but their arenas have good loot and they drop Essence of a Chosen, which you need to enhance your weapon upgrades to their final tier..

** When confronting [[BonusBoss Abraxis]], one of his lines of dialogue is thus:

* {{Bookends}}: [[spoiler:From the start Fury defeats the StarterVillain, Envy. And cue her Watcher's betrayal after revealing her true form, Fury fights Envy as the FinalBoss near the end of the game.]]

---> '''Abraxis''': "[[spoiler:The meek always [[{{Troll}} envy]] the strong. Isn't that right, [[MeaningfulLook Watcher]]?]]"
* GiantEnemyCrab: Sloth, who is carried by a giant crab who fights in his stead

-->'''[[spoiler: The Destroyer]]''': ''[[spoiler:(commanding its demon army to attack)]]'' [[spoiler: CHARGE! [[KillEmAll Let the armies of Hell eliminate ALL that is human]]! Once and for all, we will raze this planet!]]

* {{Prequel}}: While the game happens at the same time Death sets off on his adventure in ''Darksiders II'', ''Darksiders III'' explicitly takes place during the time of War's imprisonment by the Charred Council for falsely triggering the End War.

* WalkOnWater: Fury can freeze the top of waters and lakes if she equips the Statis Hollow.
* WhamLine: Courtesy of [[spoiler:the Watcher/Envy]]

* VideoGameCaringPotential: Ulthane asks Fury to find and send any human survivors she comes across back to the sanctuary, which she reluctantly agrees to in return for equipment upgrade services. Not only do they tend to be located in spots with upgrade materials, saving enough of them and talking to Ulthane will have him give Fury a talisman that raises the amount of Lurchers each enemy killed drops.

* EquipmentBasedProgression: While there is a leveling system for Fury, the best way to increase damage is by forging the weapons and upgrading enhancements to their Balanced form
* ExpositionFairy: Fury is accompanied by a female Watcher. Unlike the one that followed War, this one is decidedly less antagonistic towards her Horseman.

* Funny: The ending with Lucifer saying that everything is going to plan with Abaddon and heaven and hell is funny because we know that in the previous games [[spoiler: that War is going to kill Abaddon, and Death is not going to give him his army of Nephilim, so saying that things are going according to plan seems a bit premature for Lucifer.]]

* SoulsLikeRPG: The game breaks away from the trends of the previous titles by modeling itself into this genre - hard-to-kill enemies, a fragile protagonist, reliance on avoiding damage with the invincibility frames of a dodge, a reusable healing item that recovers over time, save points players can teleport between, strong bosses that require pattern recognition to beat, collecting souls from dead enemeies to spend as ExperiencePoints to level-up, and upgrading equipment having more impact on player character power than the level-ups themselves.
