Grades are based on the time taken to complete the mission, the amount of 'red orbs' gathered (the in-game currency obtained from defeated enemies), how 'stylish' their combat was, item usage, and damage taken. The player's performance in each mission is given a letter grade of A, B, C, or D, with an additional top grade of S. The gameplay consists of levels called 'missions', where players must fight numerous enemies, perform platforming tasks, and occasionally solve puzzles to progress through the story. The story is told primarily through a mixture of cutscenes, which use the game's engine and several pre-rendered full motion videos. Set in modern times on the fictional Mallet Island, the story centers on the characters Dante and Trish and their quest to confront the demon lord Mundus.

Devil May Cry was also ported to the Nintendo Switch, releasing through digital download-only in June 2019. In 2012, the game was included in an HD compilation, alongside Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3, ported to the PlayStation 3 and later to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2018. The game was originally conceived in 1999 as the earliest version of the survival horror game Resident Evil 4 but due to the staff feeling it would not fit the Resident Evil franchise, the project dropped its ties to Resident Evil 4 and was made into its own story instead.ĭevil May Cry received mainly postive reviews upon its release and is considered to be a classic among action games as well as one of the greatest video games of all time.
