![]() ![]() Incorporating speed, combos, and a variety of attacks will get you the S rank and above. There are times when you’re fighting a lot of different demons, and having so many attacks at your disposal helps to earn the highest rank. There are other things V can do while his demons attack, such as reading from his book to increase Devil Trigger, and getting close to Griffon and Shadow to regain their health. Once a red ring appears around a demon, V goes in for the kill with his cane. You can also use the Devil Trigger to apply to Griffon and Shadow, allowing them to do a wealth of damage on their own. Griffon is an eagle capable of dishing out ranged electrical attacks, Shadow is a panther that attacks in close range, and Nightmare is a Golem that comes out to play once your Devil Trigger reaches three bars. You control three of your own demons to attack. V is probably the most interesting of the three, as he technically doesn’t lay a finger on the demons until the end of their life. Dante can also use Devil Trigger to turn himself into a demon, allowing him to do huge amounts of damage for a short period of time. By pressing different directions on the D-pad, you can choose four attacks that aid with speed, defence, a powerful gun attack, and an advanced sword attack. ![]() Not only that, you can change the style of your attacks on the fly. Starting off with Ebony and Ivory as well as the Rebellion Sword, you gain the Cavaliere, a motorcycle that moonlights as two huge swords resembling the Lancer in Gears of War, Balrog gauntlets that allow you to punch and kick with glorious aplomb, along with some other magnificent weapons. You can also use the arm to pull enemies towards you, helping you to keep combos going and earn that ever so pretty SSS style award.ĭante has the most diverse set of attacks thanks to the new weapons introduced as you play. Nico, Nero’s friend and inventor, builds a plethora of them as you progress, giving you abilities allowing you to slow down time, shoot explosives, and punch harder than Mike Tyson in his heyday. Nero has something known as a Devil Breaker, which is essentially a prosthetic arm harbouring lots of different abilities. Each one of the three characters has a robust move set, always evolving with the opportunity to upgrade them with the Red Orbs you find throughout the game. The Devil May Cry series has always been known for the way you slaughter countless demons, and DMC5 is no different. The music helps elevate certain scenes as well, fusing dubstep and metal in the finest of ways. Besides those moments, the visuals are remarkable, and I enjoyed every single one. There’re some scenes that feel a bit uneasy when involving the women of the game, and the camera lingers a little too long on their ‘assets’, and at the end of the game I was uncomfortable with a derogatory phrase used to describe them. The RE Engine is pushed to its limit and it never disappoints. The plot itself is filled with plenty of twists, and the cutscenes that help tether the story together look stunning. There’re plenty of throwbacks to previous games, including familiar boss battles and references to past characters, so fans of the franchise will have plenty to smile at. A brand new character known as V seeks out the help of series legend Dante to combat the widespread attacks of a multitude of demons, leading them all to Red Grave City, and after a powerful demon known as Urizen threatens the world, they must do all they can to defeat him. Picking up several years from where Devil May Cry 4 finished, Nero now has his own demon hunting agency under the banner of Devil May Cry. It’s a staggering accomplishment and a technical marvel, constantly introducing new mechanics that don’t overwhelm you even though they probably should, and keeping a constant 60fps without any issue at all. Style flows through every vein of Devil May Cry 5, never missing an opportunity to steal the breath from your lungs, fusing artistic violence and superlative combat to render you weak at the knees.
