Devil May Cry
31 documents in the library are about Devil May Cry, from writers such as Capcom, Gamecity Hamburg and Game Developers Conference, the newest from 2026. Each has a summary and key insights with the page they come from.
Originally intended to be the fourth installment in the Resident Evil series, Devil May Cry is an action-adventure game that introduced a host of new elements to the gaming community. Chief among them is the Stylish Rank, which grades the player's performance in combat. The game is split into Missions, which are individually scored according to various factors, such as Orbs gathered and damage taken. Additionally, Devil May Cry did away with the pre-rendered backgrounds of prior Resident Evil games in order to allow for a dynamic camera system.
