Players lead their chosen hero to victory against all comers, in this Dynasty Warriors-styled game of medieval combat. Characters are based on the heroes and villains of ancient mythologies, and the fast-paced battles are full of explosive special moves and colorful magical effects. The game is set on a fantastical continent, broken into 15 smaller fiefdoms, and the ultimate goal is to unite the land under the rule of the player's chosen hero. As they progress through the adventure, individual heroes become more powerful and gain new special moves. With each victory over the continent, new playable characters can be unlocked. Devil Kings was produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi known for his work on previous Capcom hits such as Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 4, and Killer 7.
