Dante can switch between four styles on the fly, changing the effect of his special attack in real-time. Each character has their own set of abilities and combos they’re far more than re-skins. On top of that though, are all the other playable characters.

Mix these up with Nero’s Buster (rock fingers) and pistol, and you’ve got enough ingredients for a whole bunch of recipes. As with other DMC games, the breadth of the action comes from timing your attacks with pauses between certain blows to execute more advanced combos. Unlockable combos and abilities supply a fairly extensive combat system. Nero knows a thing or two about cutting up weird sack-demons. If it’s wicked stylish sword fights with magic spikey-hands and shiny revolvers you’re after, you’re in the right place. How’d they get passed the three bosses I had to kill? It’s just not a well put together game narrative, but who cares? At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. You talk to someone at point A, spend hours slicing your way through demon hordes and solving environmental puzzles to get to point B, and find the same person waiting to talk to you there. These emissions weren’t the only things that bugged me about this game’s story, either. Nero is a descendant of Sparda, so that makes him related to Dante and Vergil, but how? If he’s the son of either, how on Earth did he end up with the order? I even turned to the DMC wiki in case I missed something from the previous games, but it seems I didn’t. When Dante attacks the Order, Nero is sent after him, and the adventure begins. Kyrie isn’t just a name that Nero emotionally screams regularly, but also his love interest. The fact that Nero himself has a crazy demon arm and expresses his disinterest in the Order’s preachings makes me question his reasoning in working with them, but maybe he’s just here for Kyrie. This Order worships The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, with the goal of eliminating demons in his name. Players assume control of Nero a Holy Knight of the Order of the Sword. This is certainly the definitive version of DMC4, but that’s not to say that everything ages as well as I might have liked. As well as all of the original content, Special Edition introduces new difficulty settings, costumes, and three new playable characters. Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition doesn’t make an old game fresh again, but it does what it can to bring along some new with the old. Games have come a long way since Devil May Cry 4 first launched back in 2008.
