While the game's plot is very good for Devil May Cry standards, as expected where the game truly shines is in the gameplay. The plot also features some very interesting twists and a satisfactory ending to round it all. There are a lot of cutscenes between and during missions which not only provide additional development for the three main characters but also a few extremely wacky scenes that lighten the atmosphere a little every now and then. While it basically boils down to the usual saving the world from a demonic invasion trope, the plot is much more focused on the characters who all have a very good reason for going up against Urizen.

Nero eventually learns that this has been done to give power to Urizen, so he also sets out to recover his arm and settle the score.ĭevil May Cry V's story is the best in the entire series. Some time before the beginning of the game, he is attacked by a hooded man who manages to take his Devil Bringer arm and reclaim Yamato, Vergil's sword. Nero, who's been working as a devil hunter since the end of Devil May Cry 4, also gets involved in this battle.

They didn't surrender, as Devil May Cry 4's main theme suggested, and now they have been rewarded for their patience in the best possible way: Devil May Cry V is, without a doubt, the best entry in the series so far.ĭevil May Cry V stars both Nero and Dante, as well as a brand new and mysterious character called V. A long silence followed, and fans were losing hope of ever seeing Dante, Nero, Vergil and the rest of the gang kick some demon ass again. With the previous two entries in the series, however, things weren't all that good: Devil May Cry 4 suffered from a campaign that reused stages and locations of the first half for the second, while the reboot wasn't well received by long-time fans of the series, mostly due to how it didn't feel like Devil May Cry at all. The Devil May Cry series, with the release of the original game on PlayStation 2, changed action games forever, setting such a high a bar that to this day only a few titles can compare.
