Devil May Cry is often considered to be the king of the action hack-and-slash genre, combining tight and focused high-speed gameplay with a compelling story about the demon slayer Dante and his constant run-ins with the monsters of the underworld. Despite being so popular, the Devil May Cry series isn't actually that accessible, with many of the games encouraging the player to figure out long and chaotic combos on their own, as opposed to holding their hand through the experience.
