#DMC 5 V GAMEPLAY SERIES#
“ Devil May Cry 5 is very much the continuation of the series that fans have been waiting for, and it might just rival Devil May Cry 3 as the best entry in the series yet.” By starting off in the middle of a climactic moment that sees Dante, Nero, and the rest of the Devil May Cry company facing off with Urizen, only to end in defeat, the remainder of the action in Devil May Cry 5 is woven through in a nonlinear fashion between the game’s three playable characters: Dante, Nero, and V. While previous Devil May Cry games kept their storytelling to a fairly linear fashion–with the occasional flashback here and there to tell the backstory of the Sons of Sparda– Devil May Cry 5 opts for a bit more of an ambitious narrative path by telling its story in medias res. From there, the story of Devil May Cry 5 takes several twists and turns as Dante, Nero, V, and the rest of the gang try to uncover the path to ending Urizen’s pursuit of power once and for all. In typical Devil May Cry fashion, Urizen is an intimidating demonic figure seeking an ultimate source of power from the Qlipoth, a demonic tree, by harvesting human blood to satiate it and harvest its intoxicatingly powerful fruit. Devil May Cry 5 is very much the continuation of the series that fans have been waiting for, and it might just rival Devil May Cry 3 (my personal favorite) as the best entry in the series yet.ĭevil May Cry 5 picks up some time in the years after we left off at the end of Devil May Cry 4, where Dante, Nero, and a mysterious ally known only as “V” band together to end a worldwide spree of demon attacks that are all being traced back to a deadly new foe named Urizen. That said, as much as I enjoyed DmC‘s fresh take on the series, I can’t deny that I’m happy to see the wise-cracking Dante that we’ve come to know and love over the years make his comeback. Given that it’s been over a decade since we last saw Dante kicking demon ass and taking names, if you’ve been concerned at all about Devil May Cry 5 feeling like it may have missed a beat in the time that the series has been away, you don’t have to worry at all. And before we get too thick into the rest of this review, let me just clear the air by saying that as much as it’s been maligned by fans over the years, I enjoyed Ninja Theory’s DmC: Devil May Cry and think it’s a perfectly fine game…aside from Emo Dante maybe being a little bit too emo for my liking.
Coming eleven years since the last mainline installment in the series released, it’s not hard to overstate that a new, “proper” Devil May Cry game has been a long time coming.
