Good game but can't reccomend as the game doesn't launch atm

I was HUGE into this series back on PS2. Back then when DMC4 came out I still found DMC3 peak. I didn't hate this game but some of the bosses are not great compared. Story is ok. Level design is meh also compared to the previous title. BUT, it's still a great DMC game. Gameplay is super fun and you get to see Nero's first appearance. I always thought this game could had been DMC5 levels if it wasn't rushed in …

10 / 10. Absolute peak. And one of my favourites. This game is excellent. Every single moment in this game is masterfully crafted experience. If you never touch this game , please play this masterpiece then because i gurantee that you will have amazing experience.

The first half of this game is genuinely fire. Nero is great fun to play as and is honestly probably a better protagonist than Dante as he seems to have actual goals and emotions. The game falls apart after the playable character switches to Dante for the second half of the game. First off, all you do is run through the game again as Dante, except this time you do it backwards! All the same bosses, enemies, etc. The …

very good from start to half way but other half so ♥♥♥♥ u legit replay the same areas as nero but as dante, also last boss is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

72% of the 253 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition. The complaint that keeps coming up: second half reuses areas and bosses as Dante. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The PS4 and Xbox One version of Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition were met with favorable reviews on Metacritic but the PC version got average reviews. The inclusion of the three new characters prompted a positive response, which also complemented their individual fighting styles. Gaming Union called the game a far-more complete package than the one Capcom released in 2008, while favourably comparing it to the re-released version of Devil May Cry 3. Game Informer said the game's visuals and combat had aged well. Some video game journalists, however, lamented that Capcom did not fix backtracking issues that were now more apparent because Trish's and Lady's stages are reruns of Dante's and…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The application fails to run on my Gaming PC, despite functioning without issues on both my Steam Deck and Gaming Laptop. An update appears necessary to resolve this compatibility issue. Updated review: After the August 2026 update, it boots up fine but still crashes when running a PC benchmark, opening the upgrade screen, or starting a mission. I’m doing a fresh reinstall to see if that fixes the problem.

neutral · AI labelView post →The game is unplayable. It crashes on launch for pretty much everybody. There is a fix but it has a lot of steps and without a proper youtube guide it feels downright hopeless. Do not buy this game. That being said I did manage to fix the game there is a custom exe you can download WHICH IS EXTREMELY RISKY. FIX YOUR GAME CAPCOM
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dope game, terrible PC port. Had to spend a few hours researching just how to get it to be able to boot and the other various issues this port has, such as the super aggressive blur that covers your character like Vaseline. Would recommend, but not for PC

neutral · AI labelView post →The game is great and a direct upgrade to dmc3. Unfortunately, Capcom forgot that in order to play a game, you have to open it. You have to search on internet and download an external program, following a guide just to play the game. The game is really good but I can't recommend a game you can't open by default.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just so you know, the game doesn't start on modern systems and higher resolutions. As of yet, Capcom still hasn't fixed this issue, so you would need to download some additional stuff from the internet or rely on an older gaming setup. Big L for Capcom. Now for the game : it has very decent combat, a nice story, and very beautiful art style. In the second half of the game you will mostly replay the same missions and bosses but as Dante. The game was rushed, and it feels like some plot…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bonkers that they sell this in this state. depending on your luck you may enjoying downloading hex editor, exe files, replacing files, creating a config file, editing settings in the config file just for ur game to launch and launch in something bigger than a tiny window. the game is cool tho but everyone already knows that
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its good, and the combat is very fun, but because nowadays we have monitors that can go from 1080p to even 4k, when you first launch the game you need to install a few things which is annoying but it basically fixes the resolution and crashing problem. Personally I fixed it with a youtube tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvJEn1FzF6Q But overall it's a good game and the fighting is smooth and combos are easy to learn

neutral · AI labelView post →I downloaded Futa May Cry 4 SE just to test things around, and wehn I did play it I did enjoy my time even though for a while, sadly Dante cannot get impregnated.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this game in its current state. It is broken and crashes on start up, requiring you to follow a 20 minute guide to get it working. Even if you get it working, you still have to face other issues such as game not being full screen, or cutscenes being wonky, I would've refunded this game but the 2 week window elapsed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a strange feeling. I want to criticize it, but I can't. My love for this series won't allow me to. All of CAPCOM's add-ons are not worth a full-fledged game (3 additional characters, a couple of costumes, four new cutscenes, and achievements; they've also introduced microtransactions). It looks and plays like a large DLC pack for the regular edition of DMC4. BUT, I'll say that even the original DMC4 still plays and looks great, and they couldn't ruin it in the re-release, which is already…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game itself is pretty good and all but I can't recommend buying it since its broken. The game will crash when you attempt to launch it and to actually get to play, you have to do some messing with files and stuff (guide can be found in the community hub)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You have to go through quite the song and dance to get it working in the first place and that's primarily why I wouldn't recommend buying it. Personally, I think it's got good gameplay (minus some of the platforming segments and a few tedious puzzles) but I didn't enjoy it as much as DMC1 & DMC3.

neutral · AI labelView post →Another great example of Capcom's abandonware. It won't launch on windows 11 unless modded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game but unfortunately the port, in the current status, doesn't launch properly with (what I presume) Windows 11 on 4K monitors or for whatever other possible reason. That's all I can guess since until few months ago I played it on the same exact PC and it worked perfectly fine. A huge shame. At the moment of this review the game was discounted for 5 bucks to promote the Netflix show. But it's best to avoid buying it in these conditions. Fix it, Capcom.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The PC port was made by people who sincerely despise the computer mouse. Out of the box, the game expects you to play Rush E on the keyboard: attacks on IJKL, lock-on on Q, and the interact button on Enter. The issue was solved with a single crutch — rebinding the buttons in the mouse software itself. Technically, the game is way better than all the previous installments in the series. I didn't even have to download any third-party fixes Nero plays way better than in DMC5. His demonic arm is…

neutral · AI labelView post →Had Potential 5/10 I was really enjoying a DMC game for the first time. Everything was going great. A captivating story with interesting characters for the first time in the series. Nero's gameplay was also very smooth and enjoyable. Everything was going great. And then you take control of Dante in the twelfth mission, and everything falls apart. From mission twelve, all the way to the last mission, mission twenty, literally nothing happens. You just backtrack all the way to the beginning of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This version of this game is broken. If you're running Win11 you'll need to download and use a hex editor to get it running. Even then, you need to make further changes to alter the resolution. Even then, the game tends to hang up at loading points, basically luck of the draw. You'll notice my astronomical hours in the game, that's because I don't dare shut it down because it often doesn't start back up so until I'm done I've been leaving it running in the background. The game tends to go to an…

positive · AI labelView post →Story (1/5) The story is simply trash. I wouldn't even call it basic, it is in fact below that. You play as Nero, a half demon, half human type of character who works for the Order and hunts down demons. Suddenly, an Assassin (Dante) shows up and kills His Holiness (the pope), and this sets off the events of the game. Nero is tasked with chasing Dante, while the Order activates their evil plan. Basically, the Order planned all of this cuz they need Dante, Kyrie (Nero's love interest), Yamato,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Initial Review: The game is unplayable. It's not a good port by any mean. For me the game crashes on the 'Now Loading...' screen, which means that I can't either Load In, nor Performance Test. Update: After a lot of researching, I managed to get the game working by creating a VHDX of 30GB at 512k LBpS exclusively dedicated for this, which I find a ridiculous requirement just to relive some nostalgia. I won't dignify this game of an actual review until Capcom fixes this issue and many more,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The combat still bangs, but everything else feels so shoestring attached, like a ton of ductape and gorilla glue everywhere to still make the most of a project that clearly deserved more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is unplayable for most people as of 1/7/26. So do not buy the game it does not work.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →> You can still buy Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition, from 2015, and Devil May Cry 3 is included as part of the HD Collection triple pack, which contains the first three games. I'm guessing they're going to offer another bundle pack that includes DMC4 or release some other updated version of these. Hard to care though, the Enigma DRM BS has strongly turned me off from Capcom. I'll support companies that don't actively screw over paid customers, thanks.

Nero is great fun to play as and is honestly probably a better protagonist than Dante as he seems to have actual goals and emotions. The game falls apart after the playable character switches to Dante for the second half of the game.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While certain parts of this game definitely feel rushed, after 11 playthroughs I can for sure say that this game has some of the best replay value in the genre. While at first certain enemies can feel daunting and unfair, after figuring out how best to use each of the 5 playable characters' movesets, the game becomes not only a fun and balanced action experience, but also a sandbox, where you are free to perform stylish combos no matter how difficult the game gets.
