About Devil May Cry (video game) in brief
Devil May Cry is a 2001 action-adventure game developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2. It is the first installment in the Devil May Cry series. The game is very loosely based on the Italian poem Divine Comedy by the use of allusions, including the game’s protagonist Dante and other characters like Trish and Vergil. The gameplay consists of levels where players must fight numerous enemies, perform platforming tasks, and occasionally solve puzzles to progress through the story. The player can temporarily transform Dante into a more powerful demonic creature by using the Devil Trigger ability. The main storyline often requires the player to find key items to advance, in a manner similar to puzzles in the Resident Evil games, as well as optional platforming and exploration tasks to find hidden caches of \”orbs\”. The game has sold more than three million copies, and spawned multiple sequels and a prequel. It received prominent coverage in the video game media due to the impact it had in the action game genre, its high difficulty and the high overall scores given to it by professional reviewers. It was originally conceived in 1999 as Resident Evil 4. Due to the staff feeling it would not fit the ResidentEvil franchise, the project dropped its ties to Resident Evil and was made into its own story instead. The story is told primarily through a mixture of cutscenes, which use the game engine and several pre-rendered full motion videos.
Dante is a demon hunter who uses his business to get his revenge on the demons after losing his brother and mother. He meets a woman named Trish who takes him on a journey to defeat the demon lord Mundus. After further exploration and combat, Dante battles a demon named Nelo who impresses Dante with his confidence. He also finds a new boss called Alastor, the first boss, a giant spiderscorp demon named Phantom. Dante wins the battle, but in what becomes a recurring theme, the boss reappears in a short time later in a narrow corridor, forcing Dante to choose a narrow escape or escape. The final blow is about to deliver the final blow – but unfortunately, Nelo evades Dante and flees, wearing half-amulet, which contains half the half-drunk demon’s body. Dante manages to defeat Nelo and deliver the last blow – unfortunately, Angelo evades him, but he is killed by Nelo’s final blow, which causes Dante to flee in a tight confines. He then meets a man named Vergil, who tells him that the demon emperor Mundus, whom Dante holds responsible for the deaths of his family, is planning a return. The scene jumps to their arrival at an immense castle on Mallet Island, whereupon Trish abruptly leaps and vanishes over a high wall. Dante explores a new castle and encounters a new enemy, a demonic marionettes, and battles the giant spider monster named Alastion.
