Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is another great Capcom port for the Switch 2, maintaining that crucial 60fps gameplay without completely tanking the visual presentation. There are a few blemishes, mind you, and the absence of an entire mode means this isn't the definitive release of the game.If you've never experienced DMC5 before, however, you're in for a treat. This is one of the best action games out there, and the finest DMC entry so far.

A spectacular Switch 2 port of one of the best action games ever made.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is perfect for those with no prior experience of the adventures of Dante and his companions. In other words, me! It is easy to get into the story thanks to a "movie" that recounts the series' history, while various difficulty levels and accessibility options ensure players of all skill levels can enjoy the game. The characters' roguish charisma makes every moment entertaining, and time spent with the trio certainly never drags.

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is an outstanding addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 library. It delivers the complete core experience, includes all of the previously released DLC, performs exceptionally well, and finally allows one of Capcom’s greatest action games to be enjoyed both at home and on the go.

This is one of the best action games ever made, and it’s finally available on Switch 2. I can’t emphasize how cool it is to have a fully optimized version of Devil May Cry 5, on-the-go, on a Nintendo system. Despite a few small graphical and content setbacks (though nothing too egregious), this is, by and large, the same game I fell in love with all those years ago.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is an outstanding port but I wouldn’t call it a definitive one. Honestly, it's astounding that Legendary Dark Knight Mode is the only thing they couldn’t fit in this port and despite its absence, I would still highly recommend this game to anyone, not just character action fans.

Comfortably earns its place as one of the Nintendo Switch 2’s best action games

The Switch 2 is never going to be as powerful as a PS5 or XBOX Series, but games like DMC 5 show it doesn’t need to be. Aside from a slight… crispiness to the character models hair, similar to other RE Engine titles I’ve played on Switch 2, this game looks great.

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is a superbly crafted port of one of Capcom’s finest action games, which works brilliantly on both the large and small screens of the Nintendo Switch 2. A superb combat system, four distinctly different characters, a steady 60 FPS and a wealth of content mean that even years on, returning to Red Grave City is hugely satisfying.

Capcom has done an excellent job bringing its franchises to the Switch 2. From the new Resident Evil titles to Street Fighter 6—available right at the new console's launch— Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition serves as further proof of the company's commitment to re-establishing strong ties with Nintendo; they have not only brought over an already excellent game largely intact but also ensured it runs flawlessly on the Switch 2.
