Capcom has released our first look at the riveting gameplay that is Devil May Cry 5, and it looks like everything we hoped for.


The gameplay video we can see above gives us our first glimpses into the feel and the combat of DMC5. It looks good – fluid, sleek, stylish, everything we could want in a Devil May Cry game.

Some may not like the comparison, but it seems very similar to the recent DMC, but I don’t see that as a bad thing. In the most recent title we’ve seen released, I believe many could agree the gameplay, specifically the combat, was the best bit about the game.

Nero – The character we will be playing with – at least at the start.

Near the start of the game, we see Nero fighting his way through the streets to the same scene we saw at E3, heading for the imposing looking… for lack of a better phrase, demon tree. All the classic elements of a Devil May Cry game are there, the red orbs, the green orbs… the main addition being Nero’s funky, laser blaster death arm. You collect these as a kind of power-up and use them akin to a consumable.

This, I’m not sure on. When it comes to a combat style similar to DMC, I usually enjoy having all options available to me, especially when hunting that coveted ‘S’ score rating, but we’ll see how it plays out. The boss battle we were treated to however, warms the depths of my combo loving soul, both aesthetically and gameplay wise, it’s a treat. One thing is for sure – if the rest of the game is this good, Devil May Cry 5 is going to be one hell of game.
