TUAW's Daily App: Devil May Cry 4 refrain

This is part of Capcom's holiday sale for Valentine's Day (which is probably also intended to target some new Verizon customers), but Devil May Cry 4 refrain is a pretty good port of the console action game anyway. It features a character named Nero fighting with both guns and a big sword through all kinds of demonic baddies, with the standard Devil May Cry action combos building up as you play along. Unfortunately, like most of these games, buttons are merely overlays on the touchscreen, so really dedicated action gamers may not enjoy the lack of tactile controls. But if you like this action genre at all, DMC4 refrain is a pretty solid version, albeit obviously scaled down for Apple's platform.

The fact that it's on sale for US$0.99 will probably help seal the deal. Devil May Cry 4 refrain also has Retina Display graphics and full Game Center integration, so it's a full-fledged title to play through. If this doesn't float your boat, don't forget about all of the other sales going on. There are lots of high-end titles out there that you can buy for just a buck right now.

The only thing retina about this game is the 3D rendering. All the raster graphics are not and aren't the most polished either. For $99 I suppose it aint bad, but the game is just a boring precession of screen tapping.

My main complaint about some of the games is their size as I've put a ban on anything over 500MB FiFA is 1GB and its not that good!!! The developers are going down the same road as the early PC games and that ain't good.

When I saw DMC4 show up in the App Store, I immediately had to buy it. The whole series is one of the best on Playstation 2/3 and I'm really happy with the iOS port. Plus, for .99 I was able to pickup this and Street Fighter IV for less than $2.
