After that, you find out bits and pieces of Dante’s history during the levels and eventually find his brother Vergil and learn what happened to their parents – something that changes Dante from an immature lost soul into a determined ass-kicker and demon-slayer.īlending storyline progression into the main game works really well and allows you to care more about what you’re doing.


She’s a medium who informs him that he’s in limbo – doing tons of damage to the real world and giving an ultra-opinionated newscaster material for his anti-Dante agenda.

The original series was tongue-in-cheek – DmC isn’t and as a result, you wind up caring about the characters far more.
