Proud Souls can also be regained by 'selling' abilities that have already been bought, giving the player much more freedom for what they choose to add or not to add to their arsenal. The game opens with Nero hurrying towards the Opera House where the Order of the Sword is conducting a ceremony, with his right arm in a sling. She begins her song nonetheless as Nero encounters several Scarecrow demons on his way to the Opera House. Following this, Kyrie joins Nero in the audience where she finds that Nero has left a present for her, a golden necklace.
At this moment, Dante bursts through the ceiling and assassinates Sanctus. Nero, under the impression that Kyrie is in danger, attacks Dante to initiate a fight. As Dante gains the upper hand, Nero's right arm, the Devil Bringer, awakens and uses its power to seemingly kill Dante by impaling him with his own sword upon the statue of Sparda. Dante responds by saying that Nero is "getting better", and then pushes himself off the statue.
As Dante removes the sword from his chest, Nero asks, "You're not human, are you? Nero looks and it is revealed that the knight was possessed with a demonic appearance. Nero looks up to see that Dante is already resting on the hole in the ceiling from which he came.
Dante states that he suspects Nero "carries something different from the others", and then swoops out of view just as the knight reinforcements arrive. Upon leaving the Opera House, however, a demonic horde begins to lay waste to the city. Nero and Kyrie are separated as Nero begins to slay the demons. Whilst journeying to Fortuna Castle he meets Gloria, a new member to the Order. Nero fights his way into the depths of Fortuna Castle. On the way, it is revealed that Sanctus has been infused with the soul of a demon to be revived.
Agnus, the stuttering scientist and mastermind of the Order's demonic power manipulation, is also introduced. Nero finally reaches Agnus's facility where he is ambushed by several white knights and is injured. Vergil's broken katana, Yamato, responds to Nero and mends itself before flying into his hand. Nero fends off Agnus' attacks with the aid of a spectral blue demon hovering behind him; after the battle, Nero collapses in exhaustion.
Nero is confronted by Credo, who has also been infused with demonic power, giving him the characteristics of an Angel. He is defeated by Nero, however, Kyrie arrives in time to witness Nero with his demonic arm standing over her defeated brother. Credo postpones his feud with Nero until he can investigate the situation. Nero once more meets Dante, but his quest to capture him is long since forgotten; he wishes to simply pass Dante.
However, Dante wants Yamato, the sword used by his twin-brother Vergil, returned to him. Using Kyrie as a human shield, Sanctus is successful in detaining Nero. Sanctus reveals that the Savior requires the essence of Sparda to reach full power; he originally intended Dante to be used as the core, but accepts Nero as a suitable substitute, claiming that Nero is also a descendant of Sparda.
Credo attempts to rescue the two, but is mortally wounded by Sanctus. Dante arrives and tells Nero to give him his sword back.
Nero tells Dante to "come and get it". Nero is then absorbed into the Savior. Agnus uses Yamato to open the true Hellgate, releasing a multitude of demons onto the city.
Sanctus arrives with the Savior and begins to exterminate the demons. On his way, he destroys the three smaller Hellgates used to release the demons.
Dante arrives back at the Opera House and kills Agnus. He then retrieves Yamato and uses it to destroy the true Hellgate before confronting Sanctus and the Savior. The last boss battle was cool too!

Apparently your a cult leader now. Eventually, you'll have to get the hang of not only rolling out of the way of attacks, but grabbing enemies with the Devil Bringer to keep the stream of combo-increasing moves coming.
This is tough, but once you do it's incredibly satisfying, especially when you unlock the PC-only Legendary Dark Knight mode see 'The Dark Knight begins' and have to mince your way through gigantic crowds of enemies. Story-wise, as mentioned you now predominantly play as Nero. In fact Dante is introduced as a bad guy when he murders Sanctus, the High Priest of the Order of the Sword - a group of religious demon-hunters, of which Nero is a member.
After a brief tete-a-tete tutorial with the now antagonist Nero has to pursue Dante across all creation, through the city and its outskirts, killing demons and gigantic, absurd demonic entities. These range from your common-or-garden beasties to Devil May Cry 's trademark nutty-as-squirrel-shit bosses, such as the demon fire lord Berial. This boss is amazing - as you leap about grabbing onto him with your Devil Bringer, he smashes the town apart with his sword, eventually leaving it a smouldering pile of wood.
Aside from boss-bashing and creature-crushing, you'll find a series of jumping and puzzle sections to stave off any potential repetition. These are for the most part bearable in the sense that they're simple, from using the Devil Bringer to jump between gaps, to moving gigantic death Dreidels down hallways.
These are nice, inoffensive ways to split up the countless fighting sessions. However, occasionally they are dissonant, getting in between you and what you know is another brilliant boss encounter. The worst by far, are the two dice games, that depending on your luck can either be quickly completed or take an agonisingly painful amount of time see 'Rolling in our games' to slog your way through. These are bearable forays, though, if you consider how enjoyable the rest of the game is. Once you get the hang of the combo system, DMC4 lovingly opens up to let you buy more moves for Nero, ranging from the useful predictability of Air Hike double-jump to more obtuse abilities like Enemy Step, that lets you bounce happily across enemy's heads, which is invaluable when you're surrounded.
Later in the game you get to play as Dante, who has the same four styles he had in Devil May Cry 3: Trickster , for dodging; Royal Guard, for reverses and blocks; and Gunslinger and Swordmaster for amplifying your weapons. Dante can also use weapons other than his shotgun and handguns, the most awesome being Pandora - a suitcase of ordnance that has different forms depending on your style, and morphs into a gigantic, daft wheel of death when you use Gunslinger.
Though it's clearly signposted when the changes happen, it's a little annoying when you reach the outset of a Dante level just as you're just getting access to some of Nero's cooler abilities. Also, playing Dante unless you have Trickster at level three is a lot more challenging than playing with Nero, as you'll find yourself a lot further from enemies with the only means of bridging the gap being a Stinger attack - which knocks the opponent away, making combos harder.
The learning curve is steeper again if you try to mix up the styles to score bigger combos, especially Royal Guard. This style seems suicidal until you sit down and work out the timing of every enemy. If you have the patience for that it becomes a stylish comboproducing machine. There's a great deal of replayability in DMC4. For each successive playthrough, depending on the difficulty, you unlock extra modes, such as Legendary Dark Knight and the Bloody Palace survival mode, as well as the ridiculously hard Heaven or Hell Mode, where everything -you and monsters alike - dies in one hit.
The only issue is that it can be repetitive - you're doing what you've already done, just against larger, tougher and more numerous bad guys. There's not much more beyond that - the gameplay stays the same regardless of the character changes for the whole experience, only changing the vistas and introducing more enemies as you go.
