The Story
PR TIMESSeveral years have passed since the incident of the Devil Sword cult. The invasion of a powerful "demon" has begun, and those who try to stop it are "Nero" and "Dante," devil hunters with the blood of legendary demons, and "V," a mysterious man who is also the client of this case. The human world is under the invasion of demons, and what are their complicated destinies?
Three devil hunters and their strongest enemy, Virgil! Four unique individuals in action!
The three Devil Hunters, Nero, Dante, and V, and their rival character Virgil, can be played in this title. Here are their individual personalities and actions!
Young Devil Hunter Nero
Nero is a young man who makes his living exterminating demons in his mobile handyman business, Devil May Cry. He wears the "Devil Breaker," a prosthetic arm on his right arm.
In addition to his gun and sword, Nero's right arm, the "Devil Breaker," is also a great weapon for him to use! Nero can "grab" enemies with his right arm, which can be used to draw them to him, throw them, and also as a means of transportation.
In addition, Devil Breaker has various functions such as releasing electric blasts and stopping time. It is possible to fight in a strategic manner!
Dante, the strongest devil hunter
Dante is a devil hunter of legendary strength! He is a half demon being born between Sparda, a hero who saved the human world despite being a demon tribe, and Eva, a human woman.
In action, Dante fights with his beloved sword and two guns. By defeating enemies, he can use gauntlets and even a motorcycle as melee weapons in addition to his sword!
In addition, by activating the "Devil Trigger," Dante can transform into the form of a demon, clad in mighty power and resilience.
Mysterious man who uses three demonic beasts V
V is the client of the job that started the incident depicted in this work. What is the mysterious man's plan to defeat the Demon King...?
V is accompanied by three messengers: Shadow, Griffon, and Nightmare.
Although V's own combat power is limited, he is capable of inflicting great damage by commanding his messengers! When the demons are on the verge of death, V personally leads them away with his staff.
Virgil, the twin brother and the most powerful enemy
Dante's twin brother, Virgil is Dante's greatest rival throughout the series. He is the wielder of the sword "Yamato," which holds great power.
The Japanese sword-like Enma sword is Virgil's most powerful weapon! The action is characterized by its speedy and numerous moves.
