Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition

The brilliant gameplay of Devil May Cry 5 hasn't aged one bit, making this Devil Hunter Edition of the game, packing in extras such as playable Vergil and more, a must-have. With its great visuals and solid performance, the only real disappointment here is the lack of some additional modes found in the previous Special Edition.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition may not be the ultimate version of the game, but it’s another strong port from Capcom that especially excels when played in handheld mode. The core game has plenty to offer, and it’s fantastic to have Vergil included without any additional cost. It’s unfortunate that not everything from the Special Edition could be included, but despite that, Devil May Cry 5 is still easily one of the best games of this kind that you can play on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Devil May Cry 5 was great back in 2019, and it’s just as good now. Getting this quality of an experience on a mobile device would have blown my mind back then. It’s becoming the norm for CAPCOM’s Switch 2 ports. $40 is a lot if you’re double-dipping; for those who are yet to play DMC 5, there are few games out there like it.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is a great way to play one of Capcom’s best action games on Nintendo Switch 2. The game still looks impressive, the combat still feels fantastic and the included extras give returning players enough reasons to jump back in. Vergil is a great addition, the Mega Buster and other bonus weapons are fun to use and the 60fps performance makes sure the action remains fast in both docked and handheld mode. If you never played Devil May Cry 5 before, this Devil Hunter Edition is an easy recommendation.

While Devil Hunter Edition may not match the suite of technical features and bonus modes from the Special Edition, players will still find that this is an exceptional port of a great game that is unbelievably hard to put down. Vergil is here, and he is still the most important addition. Devil May Cry 5 is widely regarded as one of the best games Capcom released during its redemption arc, which kicked off with Resident Evil 7, and for good reason. It's jam-packed with polished action, thrills, and some of the most refined and ridiculous 3D combat ever designed.
