Devil May Cry (Japanese: デãƒ"ル メイ クライ, Hepburn: Debiru
Mei Kurai) is an action-adventure hack and slash video game series
developed and published by Capcom and created by Hideki Kamiya. The
series centers on the demon hunter Dante and his efforts to thwart
various demon invasions of Earth. Its gameplay consists of combat
scenes in which the player must attempt to extend long chains of
attacks, avoiding damage and exhibiting stylized combat; this combat,
along with time and the number of items collected and used, are
considered in grading the player's performance. Across the series, new
characters with unique skills are available.The series alludes to
Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Hideki Kamiya created Devil May Cry
after a failed attempt to develop a Resident Evil; Kamiya wanted to
create a game with more action features, something which Capcom felt
the series did not need. The games were directed by Hideaki Itsuno and
writer Bingo Morihashi. Capcom announced a new game, DmC: Devil May
Cry (developed by Ninja Theory and Capcom), during the 2010 Tokyo Game
Show. A high-definition remastering of the three PlayStation 2 titles
was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012, and in 2018 for
the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows. The latest game is
Devil May Cry 5, which was released on March 8, 2019.The series has
been successful; the main entries have sold several million copies and
received Capcom's Platinum Title award. The success of the video-game
series has led to comic books, novelizations, an animated series,
guides, collectibles, publications, and a variety of action figures.
Critical response to the gameplay combos has been positive, although
the games' narrative was considered simple until the third
installment.
