DmC: Devil May Cry on Steam is a reboot of the classic Devil May Cry series, developed by Ninja Theory and published by Capcom. Here’s a detailed description:
Overview
Genre: Action, Hack and Slash
Developer: Ninja Theory
Publisher: Capcom
Release Date: January 25, 2013, for PC
Gameplay and Features
Story: The game introduces a reimagined origin story for Dante, setting it in a contemporary world where demons subtly control society. Dante, a Nephilim (half-angel, half-demon), battles these demons to uncover the truth about his past and his role in this dark world. The narrative explores themes of rebellion against corrupt authority, with Dante’s twin brother, Vergil, playing a significant role as the leader of “The Order,” an anti-establishment group.
Combat System: DmC offers a dynamic and fluid combat system that combines elements from previous Devil May Cry games with new mechanics. Players control Dante, who can switch between three weapon sets:
Rebellion: Dante’s iconic sword for balanced attacks.
Osiris: An angel weapon allowing for swift, aerial attacks, functioning like a scythe.
Arbiter: A demon weapon, an axe for heavy, powerful strikes.
The game introduces “Angel Mode” and “Demon Mode,” which can be toggled for different combat approaches:
Angel Mode enhances mobility and allows Dante to pull himself toward enemies or points in the environment.
Demon Mode focuses on brute force, pulling enemies towards Dante for devastating attacks.
Level Design: The environments shift dramatically between the human world and the demonic “Limbo,” where the city’s appearance changes into a nightmarish version. These transitions are not just cosmetic; they affect gameplay, requiring players to adapt to new physics and obstacles.
Difficulty and Replayability: DmC includes various difficulty settings that cater to different skill levels, from the easier “Human” mode to the challenging “Dante Must Die.” The game encourages replayability with its combo system, where players are scored on style, promoting the chaining of varied attacks for higher scores.
Visuals and Audio: The game’s art style is particularly noted for its contrast between the grim, gothic aesthetic of Limbo and the colorful, sometimes neon-lit human world. The soundtrack, composed by Noisia and Combichrist, matches the game’s tone with an aggressive, industrial sound that complements the action.
DLC (Sold Separately): There’s an additional chapter called “Vergil’s Downfall,” where players can experience the story from Vergil’s perspective post-main game, with unique gameplay mechanics centered around Vergil’s abilities.
Steam Features:
Achievement system integrated with Steam.
Steam Cloud support for saving game progress.
Steam Trading Cards for collectors.
Reception
Critical Reception: While the game was praised for its gameplay mechanics, art style, and narrative, it received mixed reactions from fans due to significant changes in Dante’s character design and the reboot’s direction. Critics lauded the combat and level design but noted some pacing issues in the story.
Fanbase: The game was controversial among long-time fans because of the departure from the traditional Devil May Cry gameplay and character design, leading to a divide in the community.
Conclusion
DmC: Devil May Cry remains a distinctive entry in the Devil May Cry series, offering a fresh take on the franchise’s formula. Its availability on Steam provides PC gamers with a chance to experience this unique blend of modern storytelling with classic hack-and-slash gameplay. However, players should be aware that this game is a significant departure from the series’ established lore and character portrayal.
