2001 will go down as one of the most impactful years for video games. Halo: Combat Evolved was a huge step for firstperson shooters on consoles and helped establish the XBOX brand. Metal Gear Solid 2 pushed cinematic storytelling to all new heights; using the medium to enhance the narrative instead of detracting from it. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg because I could go on allday listing landmark titles. However, I want to focus on one of my favourite games of that year and what is probably one of the most influential titles in the action genre. That game of course being Capcom’s very own “Devil May Cry”

For those who are unaware, The devil may cry games are a series of hack and slashes where the goal is to take down rooms of enemies while looking as stylish as possible. The main appeal for this series is its mechanical depth and overthetop action, which was something that not many 3D games were providing at the time. Most of the discussion surrounding devil may cry is focused on later entries in the series, with the original game often being left out. This is a shame because Devil May Cry 1, while comparatively more simplistic, is a fulfilling experience in its own way and deserves to be recognized for what it managed to accomplish. So for today's video, we’re going to be doing just that and taking a deep dive into the mechanics and design of devil may cry in order to see what exactly made it such a revolutionary title.
