Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition

In the gothic coastal city of Fortuna, Nero—a young knight of the Order of the Sword—is sent to find Dante after he kills the Order’s leader. As demons appear across the city, Nero uncovers the motives behind Dante’s arrival and the Order’s plans.

Fight demons in fast third-person battles using sword strikes, firearms and character-specific moves. Nero’s Devil Bringer arm can seize enemies, while stylish combos reward varied attacks. Learn new abilities and weapons to expand your options in combat.

The Special Edition features five playable characters: Nero, Dante, Vergil, Lady and Trish, each with a distinct set of moves and weapons. It also includes Legendary Dark Knight mode, where you face large groups of enemies at once.

In the supplied reviews, players often praise the fast, combo-focused combat for rewarding practice and allowing expressive fights. Several also enjoy the different playable characters and their distinct movesets, and mention the soundtrack and cinematic action as highlights. These positives sit alongside frequent complaints about repeated stages and PC launch or crash problems.
