This felt like cheating and a cheap money grab. But if a player dies, they can also make an in-game purchase with real money to buy more currency. There are revival opportunities available based on item purchases made from the in-game currency. My one major issue with Devil May Cry V is the death scenes. The issue becomes that the demons make him very limited and he can become a pain to use in boss fights as well. V does have a finishing blow involving hitting his demons with his magical cane, making him the most graceful out of the three. Players direct his demons Griffon and Shadow (a Panther) to do most of the battling. Instead he relies on his demons to be his sword.
For one, he does not attack with a full on weapon. V is the most unique out of the three in battle. The third character available is the mysterious V. Different weapons and movesets become available in the late-game with not much chance to actually use them, unless players do multiple runs through the game. However, there are times where it feels overdone with Dante. The amount of different combos and weapons players can use is very DMC. He has over five different weapons to choose from ranging from the Sword of Sparda to a hat that makes him dance like a pop star. All of this Continuedĭante has the most variety when it comes to weapons and abilities. The special abilities in each arm are powerful and variety to all of his combos. His play style focuses in using the Devil Breaker to complete insane air combos while also dealing a ton of damage. She creates the Devil Breaker as a full fledged hand to assist in his fight. Nero (having lost his arm) benefits immensely from her skills. She has the ability (and awkward fetish) in transforming demon parts into high powered assault weapons and also in providing skill upgrades for the entire group too. On the other hand, Nico serving as the shopkeeper in Devil May Cry V adds an extra layer of fun. Her almost indestructible and versatile van matching combined with her comedic relief personality is definitely a highlight. Honestly, I found myself wondering why the multiplayer even exists, if it only serves as a leaderboard system. At some point I thought the mission included the other person and boss fights could have been done through co-op instead. The low competition was nice, but it made no sense in how it functioned. Different players have the opportunity to pair up with other players to try to get the highest score in each mission. There’s also multiplayer capabilities in the missions as well. Honestly, this is a little disappointing as it was a perfect chance for the game to delve deep into more content and different perspectives. For example, choosing between Nero or V in one mission changes the amount of items collected and includes some extra dialogue. Ultimately, the character choice does not matter, as the route through each mission only varies slightly.
Very few missions offer an actual choice on character selection. During the first playthrough, you are forced to choose the main character of each mission. It turns out the demon Urizen is harvesting blood to help the tree grow larger and bringing with him literal Hell on Earth.Īs previously mentioned, Devil May Cry V features three playable characters: Dante, Nero, and the mysterious V. The tree terrorizes Red Grave city, causing large damage and deaths. The story begins with the group in the middle of fighting hordes of demons due to a tree known as the Qliphoth appearing. Plus, a new playable character is also introduced, known as V. While playing as Nero, Nico from Devil May Cry 4 is the main shop attendant and the person who upgrades the crews weapons. Including the return of Trish and Lady, Dante’s lovely assistants. A colorful cast of old and new characters joins them on their hell raising adventure. The world is on the verge of ending and Nero teams up with Dante, DMC’s central character, to fight against those that threaten it. Picking up after Devil May Cry 4, players are thrown into the fight against Hell’s demons by playing as DMC4’s protagonist Nero. Price: $59.99 (USD) Introductions New and Old Using different weapons, play styles, and a decent story, DMC V is a 2019 game you don’t want to miss.
A wild hack and slash adventure, Devil May Cry V brings the series into a new light.
