DmC: Devil May Cry (2013): Son of Angel and Demon | Capcom Quest #467

Vergil "godfather" style was weird. Capcom Quest of DmC: Devil May Cry. A controversial reboot.


I still remember the announcement of this game, hahah. Was crazy...




I'll start by saying that it doesn't make any sense to keep calling Dante and Vergil "sons of Sparda" with the intention of valuing the twins. Sparda didn't do anything incredible here, different from the classic.




I really like the gameplay here (despite it not having lock-on), even the story I don't complain much about. But it doesn't matter, they changed Dante's look a lot, half angel and half demon, so there will always be people that won't praise anything in the game.




I think Ninja Theory got the mechanics right. They managed to mix some of Dante's styles without having to change the directional pad. I just miss the royal guard and the taunt.





I also believe they got the stages right. Very surreal scenarios like being on a TV show, haha. It's a shame they didn't add many puzzles, there's only one at the end of the game.





My biggest disappointment is definitely the fight against Mundus. It's very bad, looks like the battle against Savior in DMC4.





And whether you like it or not, this is the first DMC in which Vergil finally received exclusive stages! Even though they are few, it is a good difference. It would be nice if he was playable in Dante's stages too.





Anyway, I have a certain affection for this game because it was because of it that I started making videos for YouTube long time ago...
