<p>Capcom&#8217;s <a href="https://gamerode.com/tag/devil-may-cry/">Devil May Cry</a> is the first installment in a popular series of games that is often credited with creating the Character Action subgenre within the realm of third-person action games. Originally, game director Hideki Kamiya had envisioned Devil May Cry as a potential initial version of <a href="https://gamerode.com/tag/resident-evil-4/">Resident Evil 4</a>.</p>



<p>The main goal of the game was to introduce a fast-paced and stylish action experience that would bring about a significant change to the traditional Resident Evil formula. </p>



<p>As the development progressed in this direction, series creator Shinji Mikami convinced Kamiya to transform the project into its own standalone title, separate from the Resident Evil franchise. And thus, Devil May Cry was born.</p>



<p>Devil May Cry is a highly influential and important game in the 6th generation of video games. It stands out for incorporating stylish and cinematic elements into its gameplay, along with other notable titles like Metal Gear Solid 2 and Ico. </p>



<p>Devil May Cry has significantly elevated the art of video game storytelling and has inspired many other games to follow its lead. Its impact can be compared to that of Resident Evil, as it paved the way for games like God of War and the reboot of Ninja Gaiden in the 6th generation.</p>



<p>Devil May Cry is not only a game that had a significant impact on the action game genre and the gaming industry in general, but it also achieved great success on the PlayStation 2.</p>

<p>Devil May Cry is an action-packed video game where players assume the character of Dante, a mysterious and skilled demon hunter. The game starts when Dante is approached by Trish, a mysterious woman, who offers him a job and challenges his abilities. </p>



<p>Intrigued by her proposition, Dante decides to listen to her. Trish reveals that Mundus, the demon emperor, plans to enter the human world and cause armageddon. Since Dante has dedicated his life to hunting demons, he agrees to investigate and put a stop to Mundus. </p>



<p>Thus, Dante embarks on an exciting adventure, beginning at the castle on Mallet Island. When it comes to gameplay, Devil May Cry offers a fast-paced and smooth experience as a third-person action game that focuses heavily on stylish combat. </p>



<p>With a combination of melee and ranged abilities, the protagonist, Dante, can effortlessly switch between multiple targets on the screen. The game incorporates fighting game-style controls, allowing players to perform intricate melee combos, cancel moves, and juggle enemies. </p>



<p>By diversifying their combat style and avoiding repetitive combos, players can earn higher &#8220;style points.&#8221; Devil May Cry assigns a ranking system to each mission, taking into account factors such as completion time, style points, and player deaths.</p>



<p>When starting the game, players are equipped with a basic sword and a pair of pistols. However, as they progress through the castle on Mallet Island, they will come across various other weapons and abilities that can be obtained and improved. </p>



<p>By defeating enemies, players can earn Red Orbs, a form of currency that can be used by the character Dante to purchase valuable upgrades. These upgrades not only enhance the move sets of his weapons but also increase their overall damage output.</p>
