Once you hit the boss enough, they will become in weakened state, open to your full assault of attacks such as Nero's Buster. Most of it can be dodged unless you are not careful. As for Berial, he specialises in fire attacks and uses some sword attacks to hit you. The picture above shows one of the bosses you must fight, by the name of Berial. In Son of Sparda or Dante Must Die modes, they can be very challenging.Įach bosses have their own unique attack patterns and weaknesses. In Devil Hunter mode, bosses won't pose much challenge to you if you are an average DMC player, but can be hard if you are new to it.
Lady/Trish storyline is nothing particular interesting as well, despite it's own opening and ending scenes.Īs in previous Devil May Cry games, bosses are the real highlights in the game due to their terrific design and have unique moves that can kill you easily. Vergil's cutscenes are particularly very ambiguous, as there are only implied hints of his connection with Nero and no direct confirmation of it. Perhaps only Nero and Dante are the only two characters I truly like in this game, but Nero's sudden introduction in the game can either make DMC fans excited or turned off since Dante is not exactly the main star of the game.ĭespite the inclusion of Vergil and Lady/Trish, both of their storylines are too short for players to enjoy as there are not many story exposition of themselves in the game. The game lacks strong cutscenes to make the characters memorable, so it is a minus for me. Kyrie is simply a damsel in distress, a good opera singer, and that's it. Gloria only appears in few scenes, and only her true identity is shown in later half of the game. Unfortunately, the game does not have it, and the game's plot is rather simple and unmemorable, due to lack of certain plot twists that makes the story interesting.Ĭharacters in the game are rather interesting, but lack characterisations to make them more memorable. If there are introductory missions that explain his background, it would help us to understand the game's story much better. The sudden introduction of Nero in the game is rather weird, and there is no background explanation of his origins, his Devil Bringer, and etc. Little did Nero know that in his mission in capturing the man in red, he will come across to several mysteries that will unlock his power and unveil the truth about the Order of the Sword itself. The man in red escaped, and Nero is tasked by Kyrie's brother, Credo to capture the man in red. After the battle ended, Nero realised that the man in red did not kill humans, but demons.
He also killed several other knights, and Nero fought him until waiting for backup. During the ceremony, suddenly, a man in red jumps and break in from the roof of the Opera House, and killed the pope, Sanctus who was praying. Nero went to the Opera House to attend the ceremony of Sparda's sacrifice, as well as seeing Kyrie, his close friend. The story takes place after the Devil May Cry. Nero is the main playable character and the main protagonist of the game, while Dante sits back as the initial antagonist in the first half of the game and the second playable character.
