Dante and his beloved Devil May Cry 3 have returned, and the fanfare has been extraordinary. After fourteen long years, the original incarnation of Capcom’s flagship action series has returned with a renewed energy, bringing the beloved hack-and-slash title to a wide variety of platforms. It has been met with thunderous applause, with critics and fans alike celebrating this classic title that continues to bring cutting-edge combat and mesmerizing visuals to the gaming world.
Devil May Cry 3 originally released for the PlayStation 2 back in 2005, but its influence had been far-reaching and iconic. The game was praised for its frantic and frenetic combat, challenging yet satisfying difficulty curve, and endlessly stylish mechanics. It truly set the tone for a whole generation of hack-and-slash games and its fan base has endured despite the passage of time.
The re-release of Devil May Cry 3 brings a myriad of improvements and enhancements. All of the lavish art direction and spellbinding visuals remain, but the game has been touched up and given a complete HD remaster. This upgrade is especially evident in the stunning spell effects and fluid animations, both of which have been given the modern makeover. Supporting a variety of platforms such as Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, this edition ensures that Devil May Cry 3 can be enjoyed regardless of the setup.
Improved gameplay is also among the promised goodies of the re-release. It features a fluid sixty frames-per-second framerate, allowing for responsive and precise movement and reactions. There have been a few tweaks to the game’s difficulty as well, making it more accessible for newcomers to the series. Devil Trigger—Dante’s superpowered state—has also been streamlined, making it more intuitive and exciting.
The re-release of Devil May Cry 3 brings the coveted Vergil’s Downfall DLC, which serves as a prequel to the main game. It sees Dante’s brother Vergil during his younger days while he fights against towering demons and participates in a number of side tasks. It provides a unique experience with its own set of abilities and combat style. It also has plenty of extra content such as various costumes and weapons, making it a worthy companion to the original game.

Capcom has exceeded expectations yet again and delivered an HD remaster that does justice to Dante’s marvelous adventure.
