Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition

An HD remaster of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening - Special Edition. This edition includes all of the Special Edition content, including the ability to play as Vergil, and even includes extra bonus features exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, such as "Free Style mode," which enables you to switch freely between fighting styles; the abilty to switch between all unlocked weapons at any time; and finally, play "Bloody Palace mode" in local co-op. Set before the events of the original Devil May Cry, this action classic sees Dante facing off against his twin brother, Vergil, who has designs on unlocking a gate to the demonic realm, to which Dante himself holds the key.

Review coverage

Critic signal strength

Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
