SPECTACLE FIGHTER SERIES
So if the reboot failed, does that mean the series is cancelled? Nope! It’s unprecedented, but Devil May Cry 5 was released after DmC, and resumes the main series' style and continuity. There was a reboot called DmC: Devil May Cry way back in the far-gone days of 2013, but die hard fans weren’t exactly pleased with it.ĭevil May Cry: Devil May Cry? Yeah, although the complaints were mainly focused on the combat system and how it tried to reset the series' canon. Oh, I know that one! Everyone probably knows the name - especially since I mentioned it two paragraphs ago - but the series can be a bit confusing on the surface. Where do I start? Well, the Devil May Cry series basically invented the genre, and it’s still going strong. One way they do this is to stress the importance of replaying the games several times at gradually increasing difficulty levels, which can take a bit of getting used to.
I mean, sort of? My point here is that these games go to great lengths to reflect your skill level visually as well as mechanically. So what you’re saying is that I’m going to look and feel awful when I first start these games? Exactly! Wait, no. It’s difficult to make Batman look inept in any of the Arkham games, for example, but a newbie to Devil May Cry is easy to spot. One of the more obvious differences between these games and regular action games is that where action games make you (or rather, your character) a total badass by default, newcomers to Spectacle Fighters typically only look as impressive as the player’s skill level allows. Though there are similarities, Spectacle Fighters are much more about learning an intricate combat system and less about planning a character’s stats (like some kind of nerd). This isn’t another Dark Souls thing, is it? No! I swear. Sub-optimal controls combined with the unusually high difficulty level is just asking for a bad time. Be aware that these aren’t games that work well with a keyboard and mouse you’re going to want to pick up a controller for pretty much all of them. Typically, you’re looking at a combination of a deep combat system, an in-depth scoring system and a higher-than-normal level of difficulty. I’ll admit that the definition of “Spectacle Fighter” is a little vague. So, they’re just action games? Well, sort of.
The highest grade is S? Yep, though sometimes it’s SS or SSS.īut what does the S stand for? I… don’t know. They also tend to rate your performance with a score, rank or grade of some kind, usually from D through to S.
These are games designed to make you both feel and look like a badass through a huge range of freedom in combat options. What’s so spectacular about these fighters, then? It’s Spectacle Fighters, a genre of mostly third-person action games that focuses on the visual spectacle of combat above all else. This time, we look at “Spectacle Fighters”, or “Character Action Games” if you like your genre names vague and uselessly ambiguous.
