The game features three playable characters Nero, Dante and newcomer V. Hideaki Itsuno served as the director, Matthew Walker as the producer and character designs were done by Tatsuya Yoshikawa and Daigo Ikeno. Devil May Cry 5 had sold over two million copies less than a month after its release. The game received positive reviews from critics many lauded it as a return to form for the franchise, praising the variety of techniques the three characters bring, with V standing out thanks to his distinctive style of commanding underlings. The game, set years after the events of Devil May Cry 4, follows Nero, Dante and newcomer V as they fight off a widespread demon invasion led by the mysterious demon Urizen.ĭevil May Cry 5 was released worldwide in Ma for for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game was formally announced at E3 2018 during Microsoft's press conference. It is the fifth main installment and overall sixth installment in Capcom's Devil May Cry series. I'll say this for Lucifer - Lucifer + Pandora was my favoured way to play Dante throughout LDK mode.Devil May Cry 5 is a 3D hack & slash action game. It's worth noting that it's default combos are still worth using - they're very, very fast, and most of them let Dante cover a fair amount of ground, all while constantly attacking, which can certainly be highly useful, especially in situations where the blade-spam would leave you open. There's a lot of neat little touches in the game like that - as another example, Faust's clawswing attacks? You can counter them with sword swings from Nero with the right timing)Ĭombine those elements together, and you can do stuff like knock Angelo Angus around constantly, and then the moment he goes to do his big life-drain attack, fill him with blades and detonate, smashing him to the ground again and again- which can you let you beat him in under a couple of minutes, easy, even on Son of Sparda or the ilk. (Fun side note with Pandora - when doing Omen, the big bright white light of doom? The briefcase swing itself counts as an attack, which can lead to some rather humiliating scenes for your opponents.

You can also exploit the explosions to give you a chance to whip out Pandora and trigger it's laser attack, or similar shenanigans. As a handy side note? Anything hit by the rose itself will either go flying straight upwards, or flinch.

The next thing to work in tends to be exploiting the sword-master maneuvers to reposition the blades (Most valuable the one that summons all blades to you then causes them to shoot forward) and then the rose throw that causes the blades to detonate. Facing down 60+ Scarecrows with Mega-Scarows thrown in as Nero? Pure joy). (Which takes Son of Sparda level opponents.

It's also a fantastic way to rack up massive amounts of style against crowds - albeit you really only see proper crowds on Legendary Dark Knight Mode. This gets even better on things like the Angelos who'll try and block the attacks. So you basically have a quick way to cause truly stupid levels of explosions. I forget the exact combo (I think it's foward + y when using a 360 controller), but one of them summons 5 blades in an arc instantly. Summon more? Then the oldest blades detonate. See, here's the thing - you can have up to 15 blades on the field at any one time.

Lucifer's the spam-attack weapon, in a nutshell.
