It’s pretty cool but drains energy that you only regain by dealing damage to enemies. On top of that, you also can “pull the Devil Trigger” meaning that you enter either an electric or a fire demon stance, empowering your abilities and healing you as you deal damage. Still, the game doesn’t really have combos despite featuring the iconic style meter that DMC is known for. At the same time, some of its abilities allow you to shoot fireballs or set enemies ablaze, which is quite a lot of fun. The gauntlets were probably my favourite melee weapon as it was just fun to utilize roundhouse kicks, punches, and dash attacks to beat demons to a pulp. I mean, it’s less “combos” but button combinations but you get what I mean. These “devil arms” can be then upgraded using “Red Orbs”, leading to you unlocking and upgrading powerful moves and combos. Initially, you fight with a sword and two guns but as time goes on, you find new weapons, like this electrified and quick long sword or these fiery and powerful gauntlets. What I really did enjoy, though, was the arsenal of moves and weapons you have available to you. It’s weird and very 2001-ish… I mean, the original Devil May Cry game came out on the PS2, so you can’t fault it that much.
This makes secrets quite hard to spot at times but more than anything, it’s incredibly frustrating when you’re doing a platforming section or when you get killed by an enemy that you can’t see because they’re behind the camera person. The biggest enemy in this game is, however, the camera perspective and how awkwardly it changes when you move to different parts of a room. There, Dante finds weapons, gains powers, solves puzzles, and essentially beats up devils to get to the big bad guy, Mundus. He gets tipped off to a location that harbours a lead for his revenge. The story follows Dante, the son of Sparda, whose parents were killed by “Mundus”, some sort of devil. But a lot of people didn’t like DMC: Devil May Cry for a plethora of reasons and I never understood it because I haven’t played the actual games.ĭevil May Cry 1 originally came out in 2001, making it a “proper retro game” as it’s legally allowed to drink… everywhere. Also, it was incredibly funny how overly edgy and stupid some of the conversations between Dante and some of the enemies are. I haven’t actually seen any gameplay of this one before and ended up streaming it on Twitch after a lot of people said they can’t believe I haven’t played DMC yet… Well, I did play “DMC: Devil May Cry”, Capcom’s attempt at rebooting the franchise into an edgier and more modern version… Back in 2017, when I first played through it, I actually really enjoyed the fluid combat and the story. So, it took me ages to get to this one but I finally played through Devil May Cry 1 (as part of the Devil May Cry HD Collection).
