It is then we are introduced to Dante’s Angel and Demon forms, which brings to mind Castlevania: Lords of Shadows and even inFAMOUS with the familiar red and blue colours. Eventually, Vergil also assists Dante to come to terms with his untapped power, which is good because sword-fights and guns can only take you so far.

Dante remains ignorant about his hidden past until he meets up with the leader of “The Order”, his brother Vergil, who seeks his help to destroy Mundus’ grip on the city. But I guess you can’t blame the guy.Īnd Dante finds himself around demons in the alternate world of Limbo and was helped out by psychic medium girl Kat, a member of “The Order”. Mundus now controls the people of the city in human form lying in wait, until Dante draws too much attention to himself. New Dante’s dystopian future is heralded by the reign of Mundus, the demon emperor, who seeks the sons of Sparda as revenge for his betrayal as Mundus’ right-hand man when he fell in love with an angel who gave Sparda Dante and Vergil.
