Devil May Cry 5 for PC is an action-adventure hack-and-slash game, the fifth in the Devil May Cry series and the sixth game in the overall franchise. This game is set five years after the previous edition and continues the protagonist Dante’s battle to avenge his mother by defeating demons in lengthy battles that use classical tactical moves. The series is loosely based on Dante’s Inferno, as can be seen with the characters’ names and the plot of the game.
About This Game
The Devil you know returns in this brand new entry in the over-the-top action series available on the PC. Prepare to get downright demonic with this signature blend of high-octane stylized action and otherworldly & original characters the series is known for. Director Hideaki Itsuno and the core team have returned to create the most insane, technically advanced, and utterly unmissable action experience of this generation!
The threat of demonic power has returned to menace the world once again in Devil May Cry 5. The invasion begins when the seeds of a “demon tree” take root in Red Grave City. As this hellish incursion starts to take over the city, a young demon hunter Nero, arrives with his partner Nico in their “Devil May Cry” motorhome. Finding himself without the use of his right arm, Nero enlists Nico, a self-professed weapons artist, to design a variety of unique mechanical Devil Breaker arms to give him extra powers to take on evil demons such as the blood-sucking flying Empusa and giant colossus enemy Goliath.
Features
- High-Octane Stylized Action: Featuring three playable characters each with a radically different stylish combat play style as they take on the city overrun with demons.
- Groundbreaking Graphics: Developed with Capcom’s in-house proprietary RE engine, the series continues to achieve new heights in fidelity with graphics that utilize photorealistic character designs and stunning lighting and environmental effects.
- Take Down the Demonic Invasion: Battle against epic bosses in adrenaline-fueled fights across the overrun Red Grave City all to the beat of a truly killer soundtrack.
- Demon Hunter: Nero, one of the series’ main protagonists and a young demon hunter who has the blood of Sparda, heads to Red Grave City to face the hellish onslaught of demons, with weapons craftswoman and new partner-in-crime, Nico. Nero is also joined by the stylish, legendary demon hunter, Dante, and the mysterious new character, V.
Special Powers
Each of the three characters has a number of unique skills and powers. Here’s a quick look at these:
- Dante: The primary protagonist, whose battle began after the forces of evil (demons) killed his mother and corrupted his brother. His father was Sparda, a powerful demon, which gives Dante a number of advantages in battle. Dante has a sword named for his father and another called Rebellion, which is his signature blade.
- Dante (new): In this game, Dante has a new weapon, Devil Arms, which combine into a lethal motorcycle called Cavaliere. Some of his weapons sound ridiculous but are effective: a pair of boots and gauntlets combo called Balrog that offers fiery death to demons, and a red hat called Dr. Faustus, the use of which can be high-risk for unwary players. The rewards, however, if the moves work, make it well worth mastering!
- Nero: Nero carries two distinctive weapons from previous games: his Red Queen sword that aids him with lethal melee attacks, and his double-barrelled Blue Rose revolver for more distance fighting.
- Nero (new): In this game, Nero is deprived of his old demonic arm weaponry, replaced with ‘devil breakers’ robotic prosthetics that give him a host of advantages and special moves, including grabbing enemies from a distance or stopping time for a while.
- V (all new): V is new to this game, so all his weapons and powers are likewise new. V carries a book and a cane but battles using three demon spirits: a lightning eagle called Griffon, a panther named Shadow that can sprout blades, spikes, and portals from its body, and a golem called Nightmare. Nightmare uses laser beams during vicious melee attacks to win V’s battles, or to slow down the opposition enough that V can step in and finish them off with his cane.
That’s all, folks! Happy gaming and take care!
