Devil May Cry is a series of video games set in the present, created
by Hideki Kamiya, a video-game designer and developed by his employer
Capcom and Clover Studio. The series' success has led to comic books,
novelizations, an anime series, guides, collectibles and a variety of
action figures. Its first game focuses on devil hunter Dante's mission
to avenge the death of his mother, Eva, by exterminating demons. In
the process he encounters his long-lost twin brother, Vergil, with
whom he has a dysfunctional relationship. As the story progresses,
Dante encounter his father's nemesis, a demon emperor, Mundus, who is
found to be responsible for the murder of Dante's mother.Years after
the first game, Capcom developed new Devil May Cry games with new
characters. In Devil May Cry 2, an older Dante aids a woman named
Lucia in freeing a town from the demons. In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's
Awakening, a young Dante awakens his demonic powers when confronting
his brother and matures upon seeing Lady, a woman struggling to redeem
her family. Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5 focus on a young demon
hunter named Nero who is related to Dante, as well as V, a young man
from 5 who wishes somebody would defeat the demon king Urizen. Ninja
Theory also created a reboot titled DmC: Devil May Cry that follows an
alternative version of Dante as he learns of his heritage while
confronting demons controlling Limbo.Nero and several characters in
Devil May Cry 2 and the later games were conceived by several staff
members, most notably Bingo Morihashi with designers Daigo Ikeno and
Tatsuya Yoshikawa, taking over. While each game changes the cast's
designs, the RE Engine was used for Devil May Cry 5 to give them a
more realistic look. Dante's characterization and role in the games
was well received by game journalists with the recurring cast being
praised since Devil May Cry 3 because of the handling of the
narrative.
