  • graphics
    316 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received a mixed response from users, with many praising them as stunning, console-quality, and well-optimized for mobile devices. However, some players have criticized the graphics as outdated or underwhelming, particularly in comparison to other modern titles. Overall, while the visuals are often highlighted as a strong point, there are concerns about inconsistencies and the need for improvements in certain areas.

    • “The graphics are phenomenal.”
    • “Stunning crisp graphics done in 60 fps, amazing roster of characters, co-op levels, pvp arena, 4 player boss raids, guilds, character and weapon progression leveling, skins, side quests, training base, dispatching levels, style combat, leader boards & world ranking, loads of content to unlock, hours upon hours of gameplay.”
    • “The graphics are amazing, gameplay is great and the storyline is enjoyable.”
    • “The graphics are underwhelming, and the cutscenes look mediocre.”
    • “Graphics very outdated, controls are horrible, character designs look weird, sounds are ok but not great, even with the game fully maxed out graphics it looks very bad.”
    • “Completely disappointing low details and graphics, it's like playing Devil May Cry 3 on PlayStation 2 in 2024. It has a lot of situations that make you purchase in the app, so it's something like new Activision animation that is so basic characters don't even show any little emotions during combat.”
  • gameplay
    315 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its smooth mechanics, enjoyable combat, and impressive graphics. However, several players expressed frustration over the aggressive monetization strategies, including a stamina system that limits playtime and a gacha system that feels predatory. While some fans appreciate the nostalgic elements and character designs, others feel the gameplay has been overly simplified compared to previous titles in the series, leading to a repetitive experience.

    • “The gameplay is fluid and transitions nicely from scene to scene.”
    • “Great gameplay, great graphics hasn't got too fuzzy on occasion get a little glitchy.”
    • “Awesome gameplay in every way... the only thing I hate is it takes stamina to play that takes freaking forever to refill... other than that as a free to play player I can't complain thus far.”
    • “The gameplay was incredibly repetitive, boiling down to just mashing the basic attack button in every fight.”
    • “I'm a fan of Devil May Cry, but this game is a huge disappointment. The gameplay just feels like a bad port from a different game; most of the time you keep fighting against the camera and auto-targeting (even when it's supposedly disabled) in boss battles you either get chain CC'ed without being able to dodge or get stuck in a wall.”
    • “Gameplay was dumbed down to the point it does not feel like DMC anymore.”
  • story
    311 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and well-paced, while others criticize it for being short, confusing, and lacking depth. Many users express frustration over the mandatory stamina system that restricts progress in the main story, leading to a pay-to-win perception. Overall, while the graphics and character design are praised, the narrative's execution and voice acting leave much to be desired, with calls for more content and updates to enhance the storyline.

    • “The story seems interesting.”
    • “Love the storytelling and character design.”
    • “The story is considerably well-paced, and the combat mechanics have precisely detailed and straightforward structures for each of the characters.”
    • “The story mode is forgettable; you'll be baffled and lost with the random plot, not to mention terrible voice acting.”
    • “The game has been turned into a generic gacha; the story makes no sense and the voice acting (except Nero) is atrocious.”
    • “After completing all the chapters of story mode, it gets boring and not enjoyable.”
  • monetization
    156 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization in the game has been widely criticized as aggressive and predatory, with many players feeling that it prioritizes profit over gameplay quality. Key issues include a gacha system that forces players to either grind excessively or spend money, significant paywalls for essential characters, and constant microtransaction prompts that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the monetization practices have led to a perception of the game as a blatant cash grab, disappointing many fans of the franchise.

    • “The monetization practices are abysmal, with nearly everything being '60%' or more off, which makes the prices feel sky-high without those 'discounts.'”
    • “The game requires stamina for each combat sequence, which can limit progress for those who prefer not to make in-game purchases.”
    • “The constant flood of events and menus promising hollow rewards feels more like a ploy to keep players hooked on microtransactions than an authentic experience.”
    • “The biggest issue is the aggressive monetization: the gacha system forces you to either grind endlessly or pay to progress, and Vergil, a core character, is locked behind a $30 paywall, which feels like a slap in the face.”
    • “The monetization practices are abysmal with nearly everything being '60%' or more off, in which if it didn't have those 'discounts' on them, the prices would be freaking sky-high.”
    • “The game is an obvious cash grab; the RPG element destroys what makes Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry. The time limits on the mid-mission demon encounters make it impossible to progress unless you spend days grinding for experience or spending money on premium currency to level up quickly.”
  • grinding
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews highlight a significant issue with grinding in the game, describing it as tedious, repetitive, and often requiring excessive time or real money to progress. Players express frustration over the stamina system, lengthy upgrade processes, and the overall grindiness that detracts from the enjoyment of gameplay. While some find the combat engaging, many feel that the grinding aspect overshadows the game's potential, making it feel like a cash grab rather than a rewarding experience.

    • “The menu grinding is pretty real though; if you do your daily claims and whatnot, sometimes you won't get to actual gameplay for an hour or so.”
    • “Good game, but it gets to a point where you either need to pay to progress or you need to do about a week's worth of grinding just to get through one combat zone, just to do another week's worth of grinding again.”
    • “The game is an obvious cash grab; the RPG element destroys what makes Devil May Cry enjoyable. The time limits on the mid-mission demon encounters make it impossible to progress unless you spend days grinding for experience or spend money on premium currency to level up quickly.”
  • stability
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant bugs, glitches, and freezing issues that hinder gameplay. While some users have experienced smooth performance on powerful devices, a substantial number express frustration over unresolved technical problems and inadequate customer support. Overall, the game's stability appears to be a major concern, with frequent complaints about its buggy nature overshadowing its positive aspects.

    • “Seriously, this is the best bug-free, no lag game I've ever played.”
    • “Make this game with campaign mode offline please. In the rest, the game has no problems, no glitches, no bugs until now. I love this game and also I love offline games.”
    • “It's a good game; it has good graphics and everything works nicely, no glitches.”
    • “The worst part is, instead of fixing the buggy mess that things have become, the only things pushed are more content instead of fixing the broken parts of the game.”
    • “I can't even play it; I try to download even just the necessary files, but it always freezes up at 66%.”
    • “The game is full of glitches at this point; they should call it 'Devil May Glitch' and the developers aren't doing anything about it.”
  • music
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising the soundtrack as fantastic and reminiscent of the classic Devil May Cry series, featuring both original tracks and nostalgic tunes. However, some players criticized the overall quality of the soundtrack, suggesting it could benefit from more variety and better integration into the gameplay experience. Overall, while the music is a highlight for many, opinions vary on its execution and impact on the game's atmosphere.

    • “Everything is almost perfect - graphics, music, characters, tons of side quests and stuff to do.”
    • “On the plus side, the gameplay is fantastic, the graphics are outstanding, and the music is crazy good.”
    • “The soundtrack so far sounds good, as expected from a DMC game.”
    • “In general, this game needs a proper menu and also some chilling music for it to make a memorable experience for its players.”
    • “What's bad is the soundtrack is awful; I leave the background music on mute. The stamina system needs to be changed, and there should be packs with pizza at least. The story is horrible, and monetization needs a restructure as it keeps shoving it in my face.”
    • “A soulless cash grab; even the music is terrible.”
  • optimization
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the optimization of the game receives mixed feedback from users. While many praise its smooth performance and impressive graphics, especially on lower-end devices, others report significant issues such as crashes, loading problems, and poor performance on high-end devices. Some users express disappointment over the game's optimization not meeting expectations, particularly in light of its monetization practices.

    • “It is well optimized and worthy of the hours I spent downloading it.”
    • “The graphics look amazing and I'm surprised by how well optimized this game is!”
    • “Well optimized game, running on 120 fps in my Redmi K60 Pro.”
    • “Played since the beta, but this game is trash: heavy pay-to-win, poorly optimized, and after a certain update, I haven't been able to launch it since, even after upgrading to an S24 Ultra.”
    • “This game is very badly optimized, it doesn't run as well as it should, even on powerful devices.”
    • “If the idea to have a DMC on the go is intriguing, the execution is absolutely nightmarish: a poorly optimized (5GB), low production value, micro-transaction, with typical Japanese micro-transactions, menus, notifications, and spamware-filled game.”
  • character development
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game receives mixed feedback, with some players praising the character design and storyline, while others express frustration with the gacha system that complicates character acquisition. Overall, the combat and character design are highlighted as strong points, but the monetization model detracts from the overall experience.

    • “I love all DMC games for their combat style, and this one matches my expectations. I like the character development and the storyline, and it has interesting challenges and missions to do. Plus, the graphics are amazing.”
    • “The graphics and character designs are amazing.”
    • “Good controls, very nice character design, and the combat is really good.”
    • “The character development feels shallow and lacks meaningful progression.”
    • “There should be better and more abilities for character development.”
    • “The character designs look weird and do not contribute to a compelling narrative.”
  • humor
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by the presence of amusing characters, particularly Dante, who is noted for his comedic moments and charm. Players appreciate the lighthearted elements, such as the "funny pizza guy," which contribute to an overall enjoyable experience, despite some frustrations with gameplay mechanics.

    • “Dante is so funny, I love him ♡”
    • “Funny pizza man :)”
    • “Funny game”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers express disappointment in the game's replayability, noting that once the base game is completed, there is little incentive to return, with additional content often tied to pay-to-win mechanics. This lack of engaging replay options detracts from the overall experience.

    • “You won't be able to do much once you beat the base game; anything replayable feels pay-to-win.”
    • “After finishing the main story, there's little incentive to replay, and the additional content feels like a cash grab.”
    • “The lack of meaningful choices and consequences makes replaying the game feel pointless.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is characterized by a detailed and immersive environment, enhanced by badass monsters and a punk rock attitude that permeates its bombastic cut scenes and demon-hunting elements. However, some users note that the overall experience feels rough around the edges, detracting from the atmospheric immersion.

    • “Badass monsters to fight, a detailed and immersive game atmosphere, and the iconic punk rock attitude towards bombastic cutscene stunts and hunting demons.”
    • “The whole game feels rough around the edges, and not in an atmospheric sense.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by its profound impact on players, with one user describing it as the most heartbreaking experience in mobile gaming, leading to tears.
