Devil May Cry 5 is here, taking a step back from Ninja Theories great DmC to return to Capcom's original old school hack and slash action. It's a fast, battle-heavy slice of action, full of thrashing soundtracks, combos and 90s style goth coats that bring back Dante and Nero and introduces newcomer V. It's good old fashioned fun and full of plenty of challenges to master like the combo fuelled combat, Secret Missions to find, and Nero's new Devil Breaker arms that give him a range of new skills.  

To help you get to grips with everything here's our complete Devil May Cry guide with everything you need to help murderise the demon threat. 

Devil May Cry 5 review

Devil May Cry 5 review

Our Devil May Cry 5 review praises the game for being a "wild, exhilarating ride from start to finish" although does admit that the "story is mostly going to be hot nonsense for those unfamiliar with the series" - expect plenty of lore and a narrative that plays heavily off the last 4 Capcom games. As long as you don't mind being a little confused from time to time (even if you are a series pro) then there's a great game here with plenty of varied combat thanks to its three wildly different protagonists: Nero, Dante and newcomer V - he shakes everything up with a new fighting styles built around controlling demons.
