About Devil Cry

Devil Cry is a sword-fighting action game about a swordsman far from home. Searching for his friends, he ends up in another world entirely, one populated by monsters that are not pleased to see him. From there the game is a string of fights against all kinds of monsters.

Combat is the focus. Ordinary monsters are only part of it; the game puts its epic boss battles front and center. The swordsman answers with his blade and a powerful super strike.

The scenery deserves a mention as well. The game puts effort into its backdrops, which helps the journey feel like a trip through a place rather than a series of arenas. If you like action games where the boss fights are the main event, this is a good fit.

How to play Devil Cry

  1. Move the swordsman with the W, A, S and D keys.
  2. Attack with the keyboard or the mouse.
  3. Defeat the monsters in your path to advance through the stage.
  4. Use the super strike in the bigger fights, such as the boss battles.
  5. Take on the bosses and keep fighting to continue the search for your friends.

Tips and tricks

  • Try watching a boss for a few seconds before committing, to get a feel for how it moves.
  • Do not stand still while attacking. Hit, step away, hit again.
  • Clear small monsters one at a time rather than letting them surround you.
  • Treat the boss battles as the main event, and take your time with them rather than rushing in.
