DmC: Devil May Cry

DmC: Devil May Cry retells Dante’s origin in a contemporary setting. You play as a young Dante, an outcast who knows he is not human but is unlike the demons that have tormented him. With help from his twin brother Vergil, leader of the anti-establishment group The Order, Dante begins to understand his heritage as the child of a demon and an angel.

Limbo

Limbo is a living world that transforms in real time, trying to block Dante’s path or kill him. You use demonic powers to shape it and angelic skills to move through its hazardous, twisted terrain.

Combat and weapons

The game combines sword- and gun-based combat with angelic and demonic weapons and abilities. Dante can call on either side of his heritage at will, changing his Rebellion sword on the fly to affect combat and movement. His weapons include:

• Rebellion: Dante’s trusted sword, given to him by his father Sparda, with combos and attacks that can send enemies skyward.
• Ebony & Ivory: guns for keeping enemies at bay, maintaining combos and juggling enemies in the air.
• Arbiter: a demonic axe that delivers heavy blows and breaks through enemy shields.
• Osiris: an angelic scythe with fast attacks suited to crowd control.
• Eryx: demonic gauntlets that can parry even the strongest attacks and juggle the heaviest enemies.

Story and presentation

The story features familiar faces from the series alongside new characters, including Vergil. The game uses performance-capture technology for its character design, storytelling and cinematics, alongside its action-focused combat.
