This marks the first appearance of Dante, the ultimate devil hunter. So how well does Devil May Cry hold up after 18 years? Let’s find out.

This project couldn’t just be scrapped so Mikami reworked the game into an original title, Devil May Cry. Horror and survival gameplay were switched out for a hack and slash game style featuring a super natural protagonist called Tony. He came up with a game that rebelled against the established identity of the franchise. Shinji Mikami, director of RE4, assigned RE2 director Hideki Kamiya to write a first draft of the game and Kamiya was given almost complete freedom with the project. Originally released in 2001, Devil May Cry started off as what would be the next entry in the Resident Evil series, Resident Evil 4. Capcom has slowly been bringing over classic and beloved games over to Switch and Devil May Cry is no exception.
