Damn cool game! Despite being the first of its type, it managed to nail so much right. Like first of all the style meter is such a genius idea and adds to the action way more than you'd think. In my case it lead to me wanting to do a lot more riskier and cooler looking shit just so I could show off to myself despite it just being a letter on the UI.

Action feels great, the move set on both the weapons feel good, bosses are a lot of fun (especially on Dante Must Die), enemies are well designed (Shadows are one of my favourite enemies in games), the locations are likeable, the OST fits the appropriate mood effectively wether is be spooky mansion or intense hell battle and don't forget that cheesy dub and sometimes unintentionally hilarious writing! It's all about the charm, man!

Only negatives I would give this game is that you fight the same bosses too many times and that I wish there was a middleground between Hard and DMD mode, so that you could play with the intensity of DMD mode without having to also worry about enemy devil triggers and insane boss health.

That's it though. Game rocks.
