In regards to the stages themselves, like all Devil May Cry titles, there are a total of twenty stages. Perhaps Ninja Theory’s approach wasn’t right for the series, but more can be done – just look at how effective Bayonetta is at building its lore around a very similar sense of action. I appreciate that DMC is all about the stylish, visceral combat, and its humour and irreverence, but at the same time, Capcom has got a fascinating bunch of characters, and the tantilising potential to build on its world. There’s very little of interest outside of the enemies, and the puzzles are less puzzling than they are momentary roadblocks. As with its predecessors, DMC 5’s levels almost feel like they were an irritating imposition that the developers had to deal with, when all they wanted to do was throw another wave of enemies at you. Where DMC5 feels like it falls short is the quiet moments, when Dante, Nero or V are exploring their environments. It’s hard – very hard – to master, but once you have, nothing feels quite as good as feeling like you can pull off an unlimited, flowing, varied combo. Much of this will be familiar to action fans DMC did kick so much of the genre off, but the rich combo system is really what sets this one apart. And, of course, getting hit drops the grade down substantially.

Once you’ve got a combo going, you then need to also mix up the moves that you’re doing, else the score starts to drop. Putting combos together is more complicated than simply hacking at an enemy. Combat itself is fast paced, and in regards to the grading system that becomes the all-consuming goal, unforgiving. Completing either of these kinds of activities will net you orbs, which act as a currency in order to buy items and upgrades to skills or equipment that you receive along the journey.

It’s about the moment-to-moment, and allowing the humorous, charismatic characters to play, and DMC 5 gets this right from start to finish.Įach stage leading up to the eighteenth, (the last two stages are basically your final boss fights, and not really “stages” as such), are a mix of heavy combat with some light puzzle solving.

Devil May Cry has never been there to dig deep into the psyche or present a grand world-vision. Devil May Cry 5 does a much better job with the way it treats its three separate playable characters each either takes their turn in the limelight, and at times you can choose which one you want to take into particular parts of the adventure.įollowing a standard demon invasion story (I told you DMC 5 sticks to tradition), a particularly nasty demon has set off an apocalypse and it’s up to our protagonists to hack them down, throwing witty banter and sharp one-liners in there just to make sure the demons know they weren’t just defeated, they were insulted on the way down. The narrative was built around it fine, but mechanically that particular trick felt like a cheap way of padding out the length of the game, even if it was enjoyable to play as two distinct protagonists. You then had to re-tread too much ground, including re-fighting bosses. My biggest complaint with Devil May Cry 4 was that you spent more than half the game with Nero, a brand new protagonist, only to then have to take control of Dante midway through. The good news for those fans is that DMC 5 is the genuine sequel and continuation of what original fans wanted – and it absolutely nails both the series’ infamous sense of style, and its quality action mechanics underneath. I actually thought that one was well done, though I certainly appreciate that many wanted a continuation of the series, rather than an attempted reboot.

#DEVIL MAY CRY 5 CAST SERIES#
While series fans never seem to agree on anything, the general consensus is that most that Devil May Cry 3 is the best in the series and Ninja Theory’s DMC is the weakest – if only because Ninja Theory had the audacity to have a different vision for Dante. Returning once again to fight the demonic forces of hell and those that control them, series mainstays Dante and Nero have an extra pair of hands in support this time, with the newcomer V, but even with that help, humanity’s latest threat may be just too much for them to handle. While it has “only” been six years since Ninja Theory’s DMC, it has been over a decade since Capcom’s last numerical release of the series, in Devil May Cry 4.
