As the player acts as Nero, one would notice that the mechanics is easier, more inviting, and more streamlined for new players. Nero has the "devil bringer" – an enchanted hand that allows the character to pull the enemies closer before tossing them away. The character also has a new mechanic for the Red Queen sword, which can be recharged to improve the attack power. However, charging the sword makes the character susceptible to attacks of the enemy.
The new title will give more depth to Dante's character compared to previous versions of the series. Dante is much more complex to control. For instance, in the Swordsmaster style, the character can carry out a number of combos, and then swap to Trickster that allows him to move around the battlefield and eventually teleport away.
Another style, the Gunslinger, the character has a melee of options, which can utilize a whole arsenal of weapons. Royal Guard style, on the other hand, concentrates on defense – a perfect block of incoming attacks builds up power for a massive counterattack.
"Devil May Cry 4" also has the Dark Slayer style where Dante can use Vergil's Yamato.
"Devil May Cry 4" special edition is expected this summer.
