DmC: Devil May Cry

It’s not as bad as people made it seem to be, it was fun but definitely a forgettable DMC game, primarily to how cringe and edgy Dante is. Virgil has far more interesting combat mechanics.

In terms of combat, I could certainly rate it among the best in the franchise. However, I have one small gripe: sometimes enemies leave you very little room to actually attack and get combos in. More often than not, you'll just get interrupted, which led me to go for smaller, safer combos rather than longer, drawn-out ones like I could in DMC5. In this game, you just have to dodge a lot more. When it comes to the story and character redesigns, well, I believe everything about that has already been said. It's not great. Though to be honest, I play these games more for the action than the story, so it didn’t bother me too much. Overall it's a good game and certainly worth getting on sale to round out a DMC collection or to just have some fun in an CAG

While I only got 3.5 hours at my time of writing here on Steam. I've gotten at the very least a couple of 100 on my Ps3 when I played this game. Yes that is how old the game in actuality is. I might be a bit biased, since this was genuinely my first DMC game that I've actually played, but I did highly enjoy it. Yes it's not Dante from the main series but we knew that from the very beginning once this game was announced. I'm not a fan of the whole El Donte meme, but alas. That is just me. The game is fun, though definitely dated in terms of some of the jokes and the edginess that came with it. Definitely showing that it was from a different time in our lives. But I still enjoy it. Some of the jokes still hit. The fighting in and on itself is incredibly fluid and hits hard. The music genius of both Combichrist and Noisia is combined quite well within this game. And it shows a darker, grittier version of the usually more happy go lucky games that are DMC. I have since I own this game, played all the different DMC games as well. And yes, this definitely doesn't reach the top. But the game doesn't deserve the hate that it gets. Different Dante, different vibe in general. I was open to that change. Sadly a lot of the original ideas for the reboot haven't made it into the game, but I still like the visual that was given. It's cheap to get nowadays, or if you're really not sure. Get it while it's on sale. And try it out for yourself. Works pretty sweet on most systems, though instead of a wireless controller, you may wanna try wired instead. I always had some issues with wireless, but that could just be me and my genuine lack of how to deal with controllers using PC, lmao. I'd give the game a 6/10. Good time, ignore the cringe a bit, as well as the hate around it all. And you have a decent story, solid fighting, interesting world building and platforming. May enjoy it more with a drink or two. (Yeah now it's a party!) But I still enjoyed it while sober as well.

Stats don't lie. For a game that gets flaked on for being "too different" from the usual DMC entries, the popularity of the series sitting at a 93 percent approval rating is proof that you should try a thing for yourself. Outside of the crowd mentality, DMC introduced things that got expanded upon in DmC 5. The action is genuinely 10/10 and the story is very.. Straightforward. I have never one thought of any DMC game as having a good story (just check out Urizen and Dante's first meeting in 5. He gets defeated basically for plot), and this one is no different, BUT, I Love that it makes its own thing. Limbo was a... Kinda cool concept. Enemy types that were color codes were annoying but if You want to scale through on any difficulties with an SSS rank? There's a good guide that teaches you which of Dante's movesets are actually the heaviest hitting. Mix it up and You'd do fine. The DLC is a chore to get through, but I'll let you know how that goes when I eventually get back to installing and finishing everything. Do I reccomment it? Very very much so 🤺

having never played any of the dmc games until this one and after watching a friend play through the main series, i have to wonder why this one doesn't get any praise from the dmc fandom for doing something different. combat is fun. puzzles are simple but rewarding. story is a solid B, compared to what i generally consider mostly C's from the rest of the games. i think ninja theory crafted a fun game. fricc the haters :)

great fighting mechanic, love the story, but the boss is too easy even on the hardest difficulty. recommend too all the gamers out there

if you want bad story, bad writting, edge lord characters, horrible mechanics, horrible gameplays and horrible controls and a even worse dlc then buy this game

First time trying out this style of game, and I was amazed. Its an incredible experience. As someone who plays gacha games all day, this is definitely harder than what I'm used to, but still enjoyable.

This game has great music, is really good gameplay wise (and holds up as a dmc game in that regard), but the voice acting, story, character and boss designs, aswell as the camera in-game and in cutscenes may even make a devil cry

Pretty short. But it's very good. Just don't be a purist - go in with an open mind. It's all a matter of perspective...

This was my first entry into the DMC universe and it was a good time. The game is campy and dramatic in the best sort of way with an enjoyable combat system. [spoiler] The ending did make me want to tear my hair out a little (because eff Vergil) but it did at least make narrative sense so I can't be too vexed I suppose. [/spoiler]

Honestly, once you get past the problems of it representing the Devil May Cry franchise, it turns out to be an okay game in general. The visuals and art direction can, at times be charming to the eye, as the world of Limbo changes shape with every turn. The soundtrack, provided by Combichrist and Noisia, fits perfectly with the game’s abrasive mood (my favorite song is "Falling Apart"). Even if it’s nowhere near as rich in depth as the original Japanese series, the combat is still very much competent on its own. Performing combos and slicing demons with angel weapons is still thrilling, even if the challenge isn’t as high. One substantial criticism I do have about the game is that the story is very uninspired. It plays to a lot of tropes and story beats that a lot of people will find to be very predictable. It feels like the writers just saw pieces of art by Steve Cutts, watched They Live, and just ran with that. Every time the story also tries to change things up, it turns out to be extremely distasteful. Overall, if you just look at it from a distance and squint your eyes, you can see that they wanted to make this like an original project of their own. To be honest, you’re better off playing it that way, don’t think of Tameem, don’t even think of the original Dante, just think of it as another Ninja Theory original, and you’ll feel a bit better.

Pretty decent game but fails as a DMC game. If it was called something different I'm sure it would've been a hit.

The awesome: Combichrist soundtrack. The great: Rest of the game. Graphics are obviously a little dated, since the game is more than 8 years old but at lest it supports 32:9 aspect ratio unlike some modern ones based on "state of the art" Unreal Engine 5, looking at you FFVII Remake/Rebirth

Devil may cry fans talk lot crap on this game for being too edgy and unfaithful to the original series, but I have to say, the game is a lot of fun. It's actually my second favorite installment in the series (dmc 5 #1). Gameplay is fun, soundtrack is awesome, and to be honest, I'm a sucker for edgy stuff. If you absolutely cannot take this game, I recommend separating it from the devil may cry series and treating it as its own thing.

Finished both the main story and Vergil's downfall on demon hunter. This was the last game in the entire series that I had left to play. The story was alright, the best thing about it is probably the art style and dialogue. Art style is cool, enough said. The dialogue is so bad it that comes back to being good. I haven't laughed this much at a game before. Things come out of left field so fast XD. Combat is good and feels satisfying. It has the edgy 2013 humor where it's cringe, but free. Not a bad game at all and it was fun.

is a good action game like DMC albeit with different controls. Has enough variety in weapons and moves to keep it interesting. Story is also different than the main series but is serviceable, but boss fights are not as fun as DMC3 or DMC5. Still a good action game to play and have fun.

its a pretty good remake of DMC imho. the story was really good and the gameplay is dang good too. Just as good as dmc3,4, and 5 imo.

This game needs more love, I'm very much enjoying playing it. My opinions might change as I play more games in the DMC series but as my first experience with the series its amazing so far!

Played this so many times now on my PS. Don't care what anyone says, this is my favorite Devil May Cry. The others are boring and tasteless. This one is def not perfect but its by far the most FUN. That's great for me.

It was great back then and it still is an awesome game for the deck nowadays.

all the dmc"s have beem good games, each and ev erytime the made another i am never disapointed.. keep iut up..

i love playing as NOT dante and NOT vergil, the sons of NOT sparda and NOT eva, who are fighting NOT mundus and have the power of NOT devil trigger

Devil may cry 2 is unironically better. It has better level design, a much cooler and non lame dante, lucia and no cringe dialogue. This game is genuinely awful.

This game, is pretty good even though it's not a DMC 1-5, it's not DMC2 levels of bad, I do like some of the ideas in this game that probably were put in DMC5. If you hate the edgelord Dante and his black hair, you can put him in his classic outfit, or some better drip and give him his white hair if you miss it. i'm gonna say if you hate DMC characters cussing in a rated M game, stop being a normie, or play Stardew Valley. The combat system is interesting where they take away Dante's styles but they give you weapons that can block and parry, weapons that can only kill specific enemies. And honestly I think this game has a great depiction of DMC, it feels like it belongs in DMC but it's not, sure they make fun of some stuff in DMC but this game's reboot is well made, the gameplay alone will keep you hooked and Vergil's DLC is a welcome shakeup of the dice.

Kind of repetitive and the "world" isn't very appealing/interesting.

OK action game, but it doesn't feel like Devil May Cry. I get why people got mad when it first came out.

DmC: Devil May Cry (2013) – A Mixed Bag of Style and Substance? What Works Visceral Combat: Fluid combos, wall-running and brutal finishers make every encounter feel dynamic. Dante’s new move set flows better than ever, especially when you chain elemental weapons.【no citation】 Bold Art Direction: The liminal world of Limbo and the distorted cityscapes are stunning. The mural-like skyboxes and shifting architecture give each level its own personality. Memorable Soundtrack: Combines punchy industrial rock and haunting ambient tracks that perfectly underscore the high-octane action. Lean Story Beats: Clocking in at about 10–12 hours, the plot moves briskly. You spend less time on needless exposition and more time slaying demons. What Falls Short Character Redesign Backlash: Dante’s sleek, emo makeover alienated longtime fans. His banter is snappy, but loses some of the cocky charm that defined the series. Repetitive Environments: After a few hours, the warped-world gimmick grows stale. The city’s grey-blue palette can feel monochrome when you’re looping similar corridors. Sparse Mission Variety: Most missions follow a hack-and-slash template. Aside from the occasional puzzle or chase, levels rarely deviate from combat arenas. Technical Quirks: Pop-ins on PC and uneven frame rates on consoles break immersion. Occasional camera snags during tight platforming segments frustrate more than they thrill. Verdict DmC: Devil May Cry nails the core thrill of high-speed demon slaying with flair, but stumbles under the weight of fan expectations and level design fatigue. If you’re craving fluid combos and fresh visuals, it’s worth a rental. If you’d die for classic Dante swagger and structural innovation, walk this way—but don’t expect perfection. Rating: 3 out of 5 pitchforks 🗡️

combat is sexy. I love how they introduced us to new and cooler weapons

bro this shit is hype af. Dante shouldve kept that short black hair though.

This game looks good, feels good, has good production and acting. But damn, it has annoying as hell enemies. Lots of cringe worthy stupid dialogue. Levels that are a mixed bag of creative or too long. A skill tree that's so pointless for the most part as most upgrades are trash. Devil Trigger sucks. Dante has an arc which is nice. I see what they were going for here. Almost like an alternate timeline prequel type of thing. But holy crap, he's unbearable for a lot of it. Humor is pretty bad, goes along with the bad dialogue I mentioned. What a mixed bag of a game. If you're curious, get it on sale. But I want you to keep in mind, that the game honestly gets worse as it goes along. First half not amazing, but a decent enough first impression. Really starts to fall apart as it goes. Boss fights easy but fun and visually interesting like rest of the game as well. This all coming from a big DMC franchise fan. So proceed with caution. If you do end up liking this game, well, there's a lot of it. If you don't, you'll feel it, as it drags on and on.

Don't listen to the haters, this game is great.

played this ass a kid replayed ass a 27 years old man was next lvl rly dope
