I found assisted mode confusing, as it obfuscates the button-mapping in favor of auto-launching into what I felt were unearned combinations. There is an assisted mode that helps players rack up combos with fewer button inputs and a regular mode that takes controller input as is. Fight me, cowardsĮach of the three playable characters have a distinct combat style, and while some missions lock you in to play as one particular character, others allow you to choose which of the three you want to kick ass with.īefore I start, a note on combat toggles.
He’s kind of Nero’s friend? Maybe more like an ally. He’s a weak, skinny scholar who can summon familiar demons to fight on his command, and he looks like a cross between Adam Driver and another, smaller Adam Driver. To say too much about his involvement in the story would be to spoil some of the game’s bloodier surprises, but he is an entirely different creature to Dante and Nero. V is a new addition to Devil May Cry, and he’s an interesting one.
But there is a third option - there’s always V. What can I say? He’s a nice kid.īoth Dante and Nero are playable characters in DMC 5 at different points in the story, and some missions allow you to select which one to play as. His arc in DMC 5 sets him up to be the new #1 in the Devil May Cry series, and after playing with him for over a third of the game I wouldn’t be mad if future installments were more Nero-centric.
He’s a cocky, brash SOB with a missing arm and a taste for rampant demon murder, who spends a lot of the game trying to prove himself to Dante but instead comes into his legacy. Nero is a fantastic character in his own right, and he shines in DMC 5 on the virtue of his voice acting and chemistry with other characters. Dante is of course present in DMC 5, but longtime fans of the series might be surprised to see that the real emotional center of this installment is not Dante, but Nero - the young, silver-haired demon killer whose connection to Dante is confirmed later in the game (no one will be surprised by this reveal and that is OK). So Devil May Cry games have historically been associated with Dante, the devil-slaying main protagonist whose flappy red coat and signature wisecracks are synonymous with the franchise.
