The 'Devil May Cry' series has often offered a challenge not found in other series, and with 'DmC: Definitive Edition,' Capcom is letting players pick which aspects they want to be challenged by. Front and center is the 'Must Style' modifier. When turned on (and it can be combined with other modifiers, like Hardcore mode), enemies won't take damage until Dante has achieved S style rank and higher.
Since 'Must Style' can be used on any difficulty, players have the opportunity to work into playing the game at its max intensity.
