Q: What other new content is being added to the PC port of the game?
A: One of the first things you'll notice is the high resolution graphics and the stunning new visual effects that simply weren't possible before. One of our biggest development goals was to produce a great keyboard and mouse control system, and we've been fine-tuning that since a very early development stage. We also allow the players to re-define the controls to suit their own preferences.
Extra content has been added, including two new combat styles: Viper and Iron Palm. Iron Palm delivers slow but devastating damage, while Viper attacks with lethal poison that slowly kills your enemies over time. There will be new monsters and big demons to fight, as well as new weapon upgrades and a new playable character. We're also introducing a new difficulty level which is super hard and offers quite a challenge even to experienced players.
Gameplay has been enhanced to include better AI, meaning the fights will be a lot more dynamic. Enemies evade, block and fight smarter so you'll really have to use tactics and a combination of your fighting styles a lot more in the PC version.
