Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition

Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition is a port for Switch of the hack and slash game that was originally released in 2005. Set a decade before the events of the first Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition introduces us to a young Dante in his as-yet-unnamed business. When he is attacked by demons, our hero has to set off for a massive tower, shrouded in clouds, to fight his twin brother Vergil, who has plans to unlock a gate to the demonic realm to which Dante himself holds the key. Over the course of his adventure, he’ll beat up a jester, confront his twin and hack-and-slash through hordes of demons using a small arsenal of weapons and a suite of ability-granting combat styles. Trickster style grants Dante a very useful dodge. Swordmaster gives him a second attack. Gunslinger brings in another ranged move. Royalguard lets him block. All of these can be upgraded, so to have the right playstyle for every occasion, you’ll need to keep each of them leveled up as you progress.

Style-switching, which allows Dante to move seamlessly between Trickster, Swordmaster, Gunslinger, and Royalguard, was first introduced in 2008’s Devil May Cry 4. Now, Capcom has officially added it as an option in Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. Once you’ve completed the campaign, you can replay it — with additional story content — as Vergil, who has an entirely different set of moves.

This edition comes with all of the Special Edition content, including extra bonus features exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.
