Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition is the updated version of the action–adventure hack and slash video game, and the fourth installment to the Devil May Cry series, Devil May Cry 4.

The Special Edition allows players to control one out of five playable characters, three of which are new ones. The three new playable characters are: Vergil – a strong technical character; Lady – specilaizes in powerful long-distance attacks; and Trish – a character who uses the demonic sword Sparda.

The game pretty much has the same plot as DMC4 as it follows the story of the new protagonist, Nero, a young demon hunter who works for The Order of the Sword – those that worship the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda as a god. He was given the task to find Dante, the assassin who murdered the leader of the Order of the Sword.

As more and more demons begin to appear throughout the city, Nero will soon discover the motives behind Dante’s appearance, as well as the truth behind the Order of the Sword’s intentions.

You will play as Nero most of the time throughout game, equipped with the Red Queen sword, Blue Rose revolver, and his Devil Bringer. Nero’s Red Queen is equipped with an Exceed Gauge which can be charged up to allow Nero to unleash subsequent attacks more powerful than regular ones until the gauge gets emptied.

The Devil Bringer can be used to pull Nero towards and away from enemies as well as throw attacks with high damage and various effects depending on which type of enemy he’s facing. The Devil Bringer also gains new abilities such as detecting secret missions. In some parts of the game, the player will also be able to control Dante.

In terms of gameplay, small adjustments have been made to improve the gameplay tempo and some features are here to make a comeback. Players will get to enjoy the game’s signature blend of guns and swordplay. Its combo system will reward players with stylish dispatching of enemies. All characters also have distinct set of weaponry and moves.
