Dante Will Die In One Hit On "Hell and Hell" Difficulty

Posted on Thursday, November 1 @ 16:23:30 Eastern by


Capcom has revealed on their official blog several tiers of difficulty levels, four in fact, for their upcoming reboot DmC. The Devil May Cry series has never been a stranger to ridiculously high difficulty settings, particularly the third installment, Devil May Cry: Dante's Awakening. But this time, Capcom has raised the bar to extraordinary heights.

The first two, Son of Sparda and Dante Must Die, are nothing too out of line as they are essentially Hard and Very Hard, respectively. You know, enemies with much HP and attack power, better dodge strategies, and lots of demon friends to help make Dante's life a little more Hellish.

But they're nothing compared to "Heaven or Hell" and "Hell and Hell" (much of a choice there...) which directs the game with an all-or-nothing approach. "Heaven or Hell" makes every character sturdy enough to withstand one-hit, including Dante himself. "Hell and Hell" takes one masochistic step further by just making Dante a one-hit weakling and everyone else ready to molest him with finger pricks.

Capcom describes "Hell and Hell" as something "for serious contenders". I guess that means I'm not a serious gamer anymore.

    If something like that excites you, allow me to come over to your house and introduce your face to my fist. You'd probably enjoy that, too.

    I'm reminded of dead space 2's highest difficulty setting that gave you only 3 saves... Needless to say I spared myself the pain and did not try it.

    Dead Space 2's highest setting isn't that hard, I did it twice, and one of those times I only died once. DMC sounds astronomically harder.

    Devil May Cry isn't even fun unless you play it on Hard, seriously...there's no challenge.

    I love Dante's Awakening.

    Heaven or Hell was in DMC3 and 4. Hell and Hell was in 4.
    Nothing to see here, please move along... :P

    Sounds really hard.

    Enjoying DmC that is, not really the difficulty.

    I'll see your DmC and raise you...most PC games that are considered hard by genre enthusiasts...

    I Wanna Be the Guy (the easiest difficulty setting incorporates 1 hit kill, it just gets harder from there)
    Homeworld (remember how in the book of Exodus the pharaoh was chasing the Jews with that awesome army with chariots and such? Yeah, you're the Jews, and God's out to lunch so no miracles)
    ArmA II (with ACE 2 installed - remove all the concessions to fun that separate ArmA II from VBS, up the realism even more...more fun somehow pops out the other side)
    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (any of the trilogy, with AMK, playing it on harder difficulties actually makes it easier because a skilled player can make smart tactical decisions to give themselves an edge in gunfights)
    Dwarf Fortress (this game is harder to learn than Dark Souls is to beat, bring a geology textbook)

    Ahh, Dwarf Fortress. So much win once you figure it out. Even better with the graphic/isometric 3d packs
