Experience the definitive way to play the legendary trilogy that defined a genre with the Devil May Cry HD Collection. This massive compilation brings together three iconic entries in the stylish action series—Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition—all remastered in glorious 1080p and running at a silky smooth 60fps. As Dante, the ultimate devil hunter, players can engage in high-octane, fast-paced combat that remains as addictive today as it was upon its original release.

A Trilogy of Stylish Action

The collection provides a comprehensive look at the origins of Dante’s crusade against the underworld. While the games vary in tone and mechanical complexity, they are united by a dark, humorous theme and a cast of likable characters that have become staples of the action genre.

  • Devil May Cry: The journey begins with the first appearance of Dante. Carrying the blood of a legendary demon warrior, Dante must face off against Mundus, the king of the underworld. This entry features the iconic acquisition of Dante's signature pistols, Ebony and Ivory, and offers a challenging experience where even difficulty settings can prove demanding for the uninitiated.
  • Devil May Cry 2: Set decades after the original, this sequel introduces new movement mechanics such as wall running and the "Rain Storm" technique. While it features larger environments and expanded devil powers, including mid-jump dodges, it also debuts the intense "Bloody Palace" bonus mode.
  • Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition: Serving as a prequel to the first game, this entry introduces Vergil, Dante's twin brother. This title offers deep customization through various "styles" that players can level up to gain new moves and abilities, significantly expanding the combat toolkit.

Mastering the Combat Mechanics

The gameplay in the Devil May Cry HD Collection revolves around the "hack-and-slash" loop of unleashing devastating combos. Players must master the art of smashing enemy variants into the air, following up with chains of bullets and melee strikes to achieve high-ranking S-ranks. While the combat is incredibly rewarding and fast-paced, players should be prepared for a challenge; the original titles are known for their difficulty and can be unforgiving during intense encounters.

The remaster focuses on visual refinement, particularly improving character models to make enemies appear even more menacing. However, players should note that due to the series' dark, gothic aesthetic, much of the environment utilizes a muted palette of grays and browns. Despite the age of the original assets, the collection remains sharp, concise, and visually impressive at 60fps.

Who is this Collection for?

This collection appeals to a wide range of players:

  • Series Veterans: For those who played these titles in the early 2000s, the HD Collection offers a chance to revisit classic combat with modern technical fidelity.
  • Newcomers: Fans of modern action games will find a wealth of content here. While some may find the controls or camera angles more traditional than modern titles, the foundational gameplay remains top-tier.
  • Genre Enthusiasts: If you enjoy high-difficulty action and character-driven storytelling, this collection is an essential piece of gaming history.

Whether you choose to play through the timeline chronologically—starting with the prequel Devil May Cry 3—or dive straight into the original's legendary battle against Mundus, the Devil May Cry HD Collection delivers a high-value package of pure, stylish action.
