An 88 score from 134 devoted raters — the math of a game with a real following. Horror that commits, from Capcom — fantasy atmosphere, real dread, and scares that aren't cheap. Best experienced alone, preferably with nowhere to be.

About this game

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening - Special Edition is a re-release of Devil May Cry 3 with gameplay changes and additional content. Among them, there is the possibility to play as Vergil on a separate save file.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is a prequel to the first Devil May Cry. The game plays very differently from its predecessors, as it puts much more emphasis on style rather than simple demon slaying. As such, combat is much more intense and faster than before. An all-new Style system that allows you to select your fighting style has also been incorporated.

Set a decade before the events of the first Devil May Cry in an enchanted tower, Temen-ni-gru, the story centers on the dysfunctional relationship between Dante and his brother Vergil.
