How it feels
A dark, gothic action game where you're constantly pushed to fight with flair, chaining moves together under pressure while a judgmental rank system dares you to do better.

About
Originally intended to be the fourth installment in the Resident Evil series, Devil May Cry is an action-adventure game that introduced a host of new elements to the gaming community. Chief among them is the Stylish Rank, which grades the player's performance in combat. The game is split into Missions, which are individually scored according to various factors, such as Orbs gathered and damage taken. Additionally, Devil May Cry did away with the pre-rendered backgrounds of prior Resident Evil games in order to allow for a dynamic camera system.
What players say
A stylish, gothic action game whose ranking system rewards flashy combos but punishes even on easy, earning a reputation as a tough controller-breaker. Revered as the godfather of the stylish hack-and-slash genre.
