Some of the early bosses were significant brick walls for people, even after the special edition adjusted the balance. (The campaign is mostly a repeat of Dante's story, though.)īe warned that DMC3 is the toughest game in the series on its lower difficulty levels. Since this port is based on Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, it also unlocks Vergil as a bonus character with his own move sets and campaign. He even unlocks more styles as the game progresses. Each one adds flexibility to Dante's arsenal, which contains more weapons than he's had in any other game in the franchise. Respectively, the attributes roughly translate to more ranged moves, ability to guard, more melee moves, and more mobility. Most notable are the Style skills, which allow Dante to focus on one of four attributes: Gunslinger, Royal Guard, Swordmaster and Trickster. Dante retains all his moves and abilities from the first game (though Alastor and Ifrit are replaced by other similar weapons) in addition to a boatload of new abilities.

For those playing the series for the first time on the Switch, DMC3 is where the franchise fully transitioned from RE-inspired action game to full-on crazy.
