Of crazily-costumed samurai and big freaking swords: new Devil Kings 2 screenshots

If there’s anything to be said about Devil Kings 2: Heroes Gaiden, it certainly lets you kill a lot of people in a short amount of time.

But instead of the usual hack-and-slash moves found in other games of the same one-man-army genre, it lets you use incredibly-awesome powers to freeze time, have your way with your enemies with your sharp metal object of choice, and then watch as the bodies crumple to the ground.

In this screenshot update, however, we see more about the actual characters rather than the army-slaying you’ll be knee-deep in come the game’s release. From the screenshots, there’s certainly a lot of eye candy to savor in Capcom‘s Devil Kings 2: Heroes Gaiden, with colorful graphics.

The visual style is also striking, heavily influenced by anime – evident by the usage of overly-ornate costumes, and ridiculously-over-sized weapons. Everything looks solid, sharp, and very detailed, and from what we’ve seen in the game’s videos, it’s going to be a blast to play.

More screenshots after the jump!
