After a break from the series, it’s time to continue it now that the long awaited sequel has arrived.
Devil May Cry 4 introduces me to Nero, a new anti hero character who gets betrayed by the holy order who use his girlfriend for malicious means. The Special Edition comes with bonus content including being able to play as Vergil, Trish and Lady, while the graphics and framerate are improved as well.
The core gameplay is the same, sword and gun play return, as does Devil Trigger and the various style sets, and this time, you will play both Nero and Dante during the main story.
This also has about 5 frigging difficulty modes, re-using bosses a la Wily Capsules and the style scoring system is pretty much at the center of the gameplay. It’s one of the better parts so far. Devil May Cry as a series is not one of my favorites, but it’s definitely stylish, cool, metal and CRAZY!

This long awaited sequel is everything the fans have been craving for, and that is more of the same gameplay, style, presentation and CURAAHZINESS!
Nero and Dante return as playable characters with their own movesets, while a new character named V spices things up by attacking more indirectly with his summons. The enemy design involves of course demons, and this time they offer an insect like theme.
Character models are graphically impressive, and on the RE Engine, the game runs beautifully at 60 frames per second. The heavy metal soundtrack genre is intact and continues to suit the series, and the stylish score system is also present.
It doesn't come off as a surprise to see Vergil returning, which is a fan favorite character. There are 2 plot twists revolving the plot, but I won't unfold them here. Meanwhile, Trish, Morrison and Lady act as supportive cast, while Nico is a geeky yet cute mechanical engineer with an accent to support Nero mainly.
Devil May Cry 5 is yet another healthy staple entry into not only the franchise itself, but Capcom's current momentum, and I praise them for this. I can't wait to see what they will reveal next from their magic hat!
