The main story is still split in half with early missions specific to Nero and later missions for series protagonist, Dante.

This Special Edition ups the ante with access to three new playable characters, bringing the grand total to five. The franchise has always been in the top tier when it comes to action games (alongside Platinum Games’ Bayonetta series) and Devil May Cry 4 showcases that dedication to beautiful combat.

The Devil May Cry series is built around solving simple puzzles, collecting items to purchase new abilities, and fighting enemies in the most stylish ways imaginable. Likewise, there are no new bosses or enemies to fight and there are no new areas to explore. Even though there are a few extra scenes tailor-made for the newly playable characters, whose amusing interactions really highlight how lighthearted and fun a series like this can be, it’s best not to expect anything riveting in terms of narrative additions in this rerelease. It centers on Nero discovering himself through his interactions with Dante – who serves as a wise mentor of sorts for the brash newcomer – while he searches for his kidnapped love. The story of Devil May Cry 4 focuses on a much simpler and much more relatable tale compared to the one found in DmC.

The initial version of Devil May Cry 4 released way back in 2008 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Luckily, the unexpected digital release of Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition highlights pretty much everything that made the original series so great. This isn’t meant to serve as a criticism of the reboot – the Definitive Edition that released earlier this year is actually a hoot – but rather as a reference point for how entertaining and fun the original portrayal of the cast is. Admittedly, the oddly-named DmC: Devil May Cry did contain some smooth combat that allowed players to switch styles and mechanics on the fly, but the narrative was poorly executed and the changes made to the main character’s personality were off-putting, making it incredibly difficult to care about how the game progressed. You can count me among those who didn’t particularly care for the direction the Devil May Cry series took when Capcom handed development over to Ninja Theory in order to better cater to Western audiences.
