About This Game

In this retelling of Dante's origin story which is set against a contemporary backdrop, DmC Devil May Cry™ retains the stylish action, fluid combat and self-assured protagonist that have defined the iconic series but inject a more brutal and visceral edge.

The Dante of DmC is a young man who has no respect for authority or indeed society in general. Dante knows that he is not human, but also that he is not like the demons that have tormented him throughout his life. Caught between worlds, he feels like an outcast.
Thanks to his twin brother Vergil, leader of the anti-establishment group called “The Order”, Dante is now discovering and coming to terms with what it means to be the child of a demon and an angel. This split personality has a real impact on gameplay with Dante being able to call upon angel and demon abilities at will, transforming his Rebellion sword on the fly to dramatically affect both combat and movement.

For DmC Capcom has teamed up with UK development studio, Ninja Theory, renown for delivering action titles with compelling characters and narrative coupled with high production values. The combination of Ninja Theory’s expertise and Capcom’s unrivalled heritage in producing combat focused action titles will ensure that this latest addition to the over 11-million selling series will remain true to the Devil May Cry DNA so cherished by the fans, while bringing a new level of cinematic quality to the title.

Key Features

  • Survive Limbo - The world of Limbo is a living and breathing entity, out to kill Dante. The world will transform in real-time and try to block off and even kill our hero. Our protagonist will have to master demonic powers to shape Limbo the way he sees fit, while perfecting his angelic skills to traverse this hazardous, twisted world.
  • Who is Dante? – Explore a retelling of Dante’s origin story in a gripping narrative featuring familiar faces from the series alongside all new characters, including Vergil, Dante’s twin brother.
  • Unbridled action – The intense and iconic sword and gun based combat returns with the addition of new Angel and Demon weapons and abilities, all designed to dispatch the demonic spawn back to hell with style and panache. Weapons include:
    • “Rebellion”: Dante’s trusted sword, given by his father Sparda, provides a great mix of combos and attacks, great for sending enemies skyward.
    • “Ebony & Ivory”: These guns are good for keeping enemies at bay, maintaining combos and juggling enemies in the air.
    • “Arbiter”: a demonic axe that can deliver massive blows and break through enemy shields.
    • “Osiris”: an angelic scythe with fast attacks and great for crowd control.
    • “Eryx”: powerful demonic gauntlets that pack enough punch to parry even the strongest attacks and juggle the heaviest enemies.
  • Retaining the Devil May Cry DNA – Capcom staff, including team members from previous Devil May Cry titles, have been assigned to the project from the outset to ensure DmC is a true addition to the Devil May Cry franchise.
  • Unrivalled production values - Ninja Theory will take advantage of the latest performance capture technology to deliver a level of character design, story-telling and cinematics that perfectly complements DmC’s high-octane combat.

I played this game last after playing all the other DMC games because I heard it sucks. I am furious with the community right now. This game was not even bad, like at all. The story was really good, Dante wasn't even that different behavior wise either. I didn't like his new design but there is a DmC 3 skin that solved that problem. I think this game has the best combat and movement out of all of them. come at me, I don't care. DmC 5 is perfect but I didn't get good at the characters until the game was basically over. This game was so easy to pick up and play, the combat is simple but feels incredible. Play this game, don't listen to other people. Form your own opinion. It's a 10/10 from me, it's a shame it didn't perform well enough to be continued.

First DMC I've ever played. The story is kinda short but good, and the combat is damn awesome especially when it comes to parrying which is somehow the hardest thing to do. It's also mad fun to pull off a bunch of combos using Ebony & Ivory along with the four weapons. Definitely an 8/10 if you get it on sale.

Сейчас, спустя 12 лет после выхода и посреди сплошных соулзлайков эта игра воспринимается как глоток свежего воздуха. Стильно, мощно, дерзко, и, конечно, модно и молодежно. Жаль, что Ninja Theory не дали сделать сиквел, очень бы было любопытно посмотреть, что бы у них получилось. А так это прекрасно сохранившийся, приятно играющийся эксперимент с сочнейшей боевкой, кучей отсылок на поп-культуру и прошлые части, который стоит своих 10 часов, это время точно будет проведено с кайфом.

although i am a fan of the old dante and miss the one liners he does in 1-5 this game is pretty good and easy to get into if new to the game series, this story is similar but slips from the story of the old games, making a new story all together that might as well be it's own universe, just think like that if you are a veteran of the series and it is quite fun to try to learn

Fun hack-and-slash gameplay, love the angel vs demon concept. Worth it.

Worst purchase of my life. Never thought i would actually hate a Devil May Cry game. The story is super basic and bad. The characters are so cliche that it felt like im watching a bad TV show instead of a cutscene. Colorcoded enemies like it was 2005 again. There is not a single good thing about this game.If you have EVER played a Devil May Cry game you most likely wont like this "thing". If it wasnt for a challenge to 100% this piece of shit i would never have even gone past the first 30 minutes before refunding it
