’The buzz is all about ’Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat,’ an exciting mobile action RPG that has taken the gaming world by storm. Developed by the Chinese company NebulaJoy and supervised by the Japanese DMC development team, the game is a spin-off of the popular Devil May Cry series. It seamlessly incorporates elements from previous games in the series, including DMC3, DMC4, DMC: Devil May Cry, and DMC5. After multiple beta tests, it was officially released in Mainland China on June 11, 2021, bringing intense hack-and-slash battles to mobile gamers everywhere. THE KEY TO UNLOCKING FUN: COMBAT The gameplay of this RPG stays true to the high-octane, intense combat style of its PC and console counterparts, with some simplifications to fit the mobile platform. Players navigate through expansive levels, taking down demons and earning Stylish Rank points based on their combat skills. Using a variety of attacks can boost the Style gauge, while repetitive moves can cause it to decrease. A thrilling twist to the gameplay is the ability to dodge and taunt, which can increase the stylish ranking. ADAPTING TO MOBILE: CHANGES FROM PC/CONSOLE VERSIONS Some features in the game have been simplified or removed compared to the PC and console versions due to the limitations of the mobile platform. For example, characters can only carry up to four weapons, and there is no Automatic Mode, but aim assist is available. Dante’s Swordmaster and Gunslinger styles are included in his standard movesets through specific button inputs, while his Trickster and Royalguard styles are the only ones explicitly present. WEAPON SELECTION: THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS Each character can equip up to four weapons, each with unique stats and skills. These weapons can deal direct physical damage as well as secondary elemental damage, including Physical, Fire, Ice, Thunder, and Dark damage. Upgrading weapons not only increases their damage output but also unlocks new skills. There are various methods for upgrading weapons, such as injection, forging, refining, and using Magic Cards. SIGNATURE WEAPON SKINS: A REWARD FOR VICTORY Players can earn signature weapon skins and apply them to any weapon in the same category. For example, Dante’s Rebellion can be unlocked after completing Main Story Chapter 2, while his iconic Ebony & Ivory can be obtained after completing Bloody Palace Floor 60. Lady’s Bounty Hunter can be unlocked after completing Main Story Chapter 7, and Vergil’s Yamato can be obtained during the ’Vergil Returns’ limited event. CHARACTER STATS AND UNIQUE ABILITIES: BECOMING A LEGEND Each character has six default stats, unique to them, such as Health Points and Power. Dante has an impressive stat called Anger, which increases the points for Royalguard. While characters do not have signature weapons, their movesets are shared between firearms in the same category, and most of these movesets can be unlocked with Red Orbs. MEMORY CORRIDOR AND VERGIL’S SOUL REALM: DANGEROUS CHALLENGES AWAIT ’Memory Corridor’ is a replayable game mode with two difficulty levels: Son of Sparda and Dante Must Die. The ’Vergil Returns’ limited event also features a mode called Soul Realm, with three difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard, each offering unique rewards. No matter the challenge, players’ character stats upgrades will carry over to these event modes, ensuring a fair fight. IN CONCLUSION With a diverse cast of characters, an array of weapons, and various game modes, ’Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat’ offers an immersive gaming experience that will keep players on the edge of their seats. From the iconic Dante and Lady to fan-favorite Vergil and Nero, each character brings something unique to the table. The demons you will face are numerous, but with the right weapon and enough skill, victory is just a hack and slash away. So, grab your weapons and get ready to experience the peak of combat like never before.
