Bayonetta is the most obvious example, though nowadays it seems Bayonetta 3 is perpetually trapped in development hell with an eventual release seeming more doubtful everyday. Many action games today end up taking more direction and influence from Dark Souls rather than games like Devil May Cry, and while I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it is definitely a jarringly different landscape. No combo counters, no style meter, no graphics on the screen looking like they’re gonna explode if you land one more attack without getting hit. God of War combat is quite good, but it’s much more focused on being gritty rather than being flashy.

With the most recent release, however, God of War 2018 (while an absolutely stellar game) replaced much of the free form combat flow and combo-centered action with stat-related gear and more focused attacks. God of War released on the PS2, and it featured combat heavily inspired by Devil May Cry. Perhaps the biggest example of this is God of War. While several games have carried on some of these traditions–Spider-Man features pretty expansive combat customization, and Nier Automata offers big combo numbers if you put in the time to pull it off consistently–much of the substance has been lost or, more accurately, replaced with mechanics from other genres. Games that relied less on set pieces and gorgeous environments as it did focused, customizable combat and building combos and style meters. But what I’m talking about–and hell, what some of you may be too young to remember or have experienced (now we’re really getting into the ole mortality talk)–is traditional character action games. Been sipping that dumb bitch juice too much bought too many dumb bitch pallets of dumb bitch juice from Sam’s Club.” After all, we’re currently in arguably the strongest era of character action games ever! Spider-Man, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima–the list goes on. Now you all may be thinking, “Whoa Al, it happened again. I love the majority of the Devil May Cry games (you know, the good ones, like everyone else on earth), and with last year’s release of Devil May Cry 5, the franchise really established itself as something unique in our current age of video games: the last real bastion of character action games. Sometimes everclear (looking at you, 2009 reboot). Not quite old enough to drink, but let’s be honest, if Devil May Cry were a person, it’d drink anyway. Just in case you somehow haven’t been confronted by your own mortality in a while, the original Devil May Cry game released 20 years ago.
