You pick up two melee weapons on your adventure: There are, of course, Dante’s starting guns, the iconic twin pistols Ebony and Ivory, then along the way you pick up a powerful shotgun, a grenadegun, a needlegun (for underwater combat – the first person view is a little awkward but it’s still fun), and the cool looking but largely useless Nightmare-β (it looks like Nightmare, one of the bosses). It’s one of my top five games of all time, so I just wanted to write a feature to celebrate it! (Spoilers ahead!)Ĭompared with later games in the series the weapon selection is pretty puny but they still pack a punch. On 23rd August (its Japanese release date) Devil May Cry is 20 years old! It was the first game I completed on my PlayStation 2 and I still play it regularly now (even managing to complete it on Dante Must Die difficulty this year!).
