Devil May Cry was originally planned as a sequel to the Resident Evil series before becoming what it is today. This means there are some obvious survival horror influences, like puzzle solving, exploration, and creepy locales brimming with many twisted creatures. It's much more of an action game than anything else, but one of the many things that helps this series stand apart from others like God of War is these survival horror roots. Like the horror genre that inspired it, the Devil May Cry series can occasionally be punishingly difficult. This is a tough trio of games that will challenge even the most dedicated action fans, but if you're up to the challenge, the rewards are more than worth the struggle.

Each of the three games brings with it a very unique arsenal of weapons. Your arsenal changes from one game to the next, and they include swords, pistols, shotguns, nunchaku, gauntlets, scythes, throwing daggers, and even a grenade launcher. Each weapon gives you another way to tackle a tough situation, and trust me, you're going to have plenty of those over the course of these three games. Devil May Cry 2 introduced the ability to perform combination attacks, an evasive move, and the option to switch between weapons in the heat of battle. One of the more unique features introduced in Devil May Cry 3 was the focus on offering multiple gameplay styles. This gives players the opportunity to experiment with various fighting techniques, including offensive, defensive, and evasive. Playing each of the games in chronological order might be a little difficult to adapt to the various features changes, but it could be worth it to experience the story in the right order.
