Hate the Vergil in this one but it's a pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome game, just make sure Donte is a part of the cartel

This is a very good case that a game that doesn't fit to the geral/ public reviews. It is a solid game, nice mechanics and very good story parallel perspective about DMC universe!

好评给人设，可惜这版但丁大概率被雪藏了。

its sigma

the best DmC for western audience

The story is bad but everything else is peak

Overhated

Great game, beyond its age. It still has good graphics and a very good combat system. Works perfectly on modern systems.

DMC: Devil May Cry is a hack and slash game where you play as Dante, a half-demon, half-angel that has to defeat a full-demon to save humankind. This game on paper is terrible, the voice acting is awful, the writing and dialog is so cheesy it's borderline unbearable, all of the characters are pretty unlikable, and the story isn't anything that special. That being said, I couldn't get enough. The combat is incredibly fun, creating huge combos to clear out crowds of enemies is a blast. Every weapon feels different and interesting, and while I tend to like the lighter angel weapons the best, the standard sword and heavy demon weapons are fun to chain into bigger combos too. The level design is really interesting, the levels shift and break apart as you go along, creating some really interesting setpieces that are fun to traverse. While this game exemplifies the 2010 era of dude bro gaming to an eyerolling degree, the gameplay is so good that it inspired me to buy the entirety of the Devil May Cry franchise.

The story is ok, bit cliche but its a solid reboot in a classically Capcom way.
Thats not why its an excellent game - and it is an excellent game.

Mario or sonic do not have and immersive story yet they are infinitely playable.
Why? Because they know they are a game, they admit they are a game and they allow themselves to be a game. That's not to say its basic, its just the story is not why you should play this game - and you should play this game.

The game mechanics are in my opinion still amazing and it still somewhat holds up graphically in its own way.
I play this to unwind still, years on after my first run on the PS3.
In layman's terms:
To someone who's never played the genre, kind of tekkan meets dance dance fusion for the controller?
The controller mapping is well thought out and its fluid gameplay at high framerates.
As its all about the high combos and stylish points you can achieve through pushing yourself into weapons and skilled attacks that you tend not to use naturally.

Moderately difficult for new players but more accessible than 3 or 4 in my opinion. I prefer this to 5 which felt all over the place.

All is all... if you haven't played this game you probably should.
