There are nine hearts in the game, though Lucia is the only one who can make use of all of them (since she’s the only one with a water level).Īlong with the Devil Hearts, there are also new weapons available. The Devil Hearts grant you new abilities such as flight, enhanced speed, or augment your attacks with elemental damage.
Devil Hearts are a new feature that augment your Devil Trigger, and can be used by either Dante or Lucia. Having multiple characters to play as isn’t the only new thing in DMC 2. Regardless of who you choose to play as, the characters do meet up along their respective journeys at certain points, and also share stages.
Still, as a trade-off, Lucia’s speed can help with juggling foes during your combos (and netting more of those red gems as a result). Playing almost exactly like Dante, Lucia is quicker than the Son of Sparda, but also deals less damage. Dante sets off to stop Arius, while Lucia seeks to gather the Arcanas, holy relics that are found throughout Vie de Marli that Arius needs to summon Argosax.Īs you might have guessed, rather than only having Dante to play as this time around, in Devil May Cry 2, players can also choose to play as newcomer Lucia, who wields dual swords and throwing knives. In reality Uroboros is headed by a man named Arius who seeks to absorb the power of a demon named Argosax for his own purposes. There, the Uroboros corporation has installed itself, looking to harness “special ores” found on the island. In the years since the release of Devil May Cry 2, Capcom, much like the fans, has acted as if the first sequel never happened.Īnd really, looking back at the game now, it’s plain to see why.Īfter battling demons at a museum with the aid of a mysterious woman named Lucia, Dante is invited to Lucia’s homeland of Vie de Marli, an island sanctuary. Gone were Trish and Dante’s iconic one-liners and attitude, and in their place we had Lucia and a Dante that was more concerned with coin flips than cracking smart. To say that the sequel didn’t exactly live up to expectations was an understatement. After Capcom’s Devil May Cry hit the scene with its stylish action and cool-as-hell protagonist, fans were hungry for more from Dante and company.
