Devil May Cry HD Collection brings together three action games centered on Dante, a devil hunter whose demonic heritage draws him into battles against powerful foes. The first game pits him against Mundus, king of the underworld, while Devil May Cry 2 takes place decades later and adds new movement and combat options. The collection also includes Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition, a prequel that introduces Dante’s twin brother, Vergil.
Across the three entries, the design develops through distinct additions rather than presenting a single uniform adventure. Devil May Cry 2 adds wall running and Rain Storm, alongside the series’ Bloody Palace bonus mode. In Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition, players choose among styles and build them up to gain new moves and abilities. The games also bring in characters including Trish, Lady, and Lucia, while the collection describes its action as running at 60 frames per second.
Its appeal rests on following Dante’s story across those entries and engaging with their evolving combat ideas.
