As Dante, you can freely switch between 4 (and later 5) styles that allow you do different things with the action button, as well as a few other weapons that are unlocked as the game progresses. Afterwards you get to play as Dante armed with The Rebellion, a claymore-style sword, and his two modified M1911s, Ebony and Ivory. The Blue Rose: A double-barrelled revolver (yeah I have no idea how the fuck that works either), as well as his demonic arm, Devil Bringer, which you can use to grab, slam, throw, etc enemies. As Nero you use things such as The Red Queen: part sword, part motorcycle, part industrial-size Iron ingot.
Playing through the Nero and Dante campaign, you will start off as the former of course. You now have the ability to play through it as Vergil, Dante’s twin brother and polar opposite, or as Lady and Trish in Nero and Dante’s sections, respectively. There's not a whole lot new, but what there is will definitely be worth your time. I feel like an opportunity was missed when the developers chose not to entirely revamp the game and make it more of a “director's cut” rather than a “special edition.” Instead they chose to add a few new bosses and levels to give the game the boost it so desperately needed. This is to the game’s detriment as these only serve to pad out the game.
However, at the same time it feels like the level designers made enough levels for half of a game and then decided (or more likely were forced to, due to time constraints) make the rest of the game those same levels in reverse order with very minor differences. It’s combat allows for a ridiculously high skill ceiling, where veterans of the genre can rack up style points in a flurry of moves and combos that you could miss if you happen to blink. Thankfully, once you’re given control of Dante again the cheesiness goes up to 11.ĭMC4 is a game that is simultaneously repetitive and hugely replayable. Devil May Cry 4 retains most of that, but starts you off as as Nero for half of the game, a whiny pretty boy who also has the power of Sparda.

The entire series is filled with over the top gameplay, cutscenes to match and a certain level of cheesiness that really makes it an enjoyable experience. The questions that remains now is “Does the Special Edition meet that same level of quality while also improving on it” and “Was Devil May Cry 4 good gameplay-wise to begin with?” The Trialĭiscounting the abomination that was DmC: Devil May Cry, The Devil May Cry series follows the exploits of Dante, son of a human and The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, a demon who sealed off Hell from the human world.

On top of that, the PC version had two features that really took advantage of the hardware: “Turbo mode” which sped the game up 20%, making it much faster paced, as well as the “Legendary Dark Knight” difficulty mode, which upped enemy spawning to an amount that would probably make the processors of The Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 explode. If I was ever asked the question “What is the Gold Standard of PC ports when it comes to multiplatform games?” the answer would most certainly be “ Devil May Cry 4.” The MT Framework really shined with absolutely amazing optimization, having been built on PC first and then scaled down for the console release.
