Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat 12+

I didn’t know what to expect, but honestly it holds true to the classic titles we all know any love, except optimized for mobile. You can pretty much acquire anything and everything without paying any actual money, but I will say if there’s a character you really want from the vault, you may need to spend 10-20$ to potentially get him. I’ve probably spent maybe 50$ total since this game has released and not once did I feel like my money was wasted. Lots of stuff to do, that’s for sure. In the beginning the UI may feel overwhelming, but fear not! After playing with it for a little bit and doing one thing at a time it will all blend together and make sense. If you haven’t given this a go yet, I highly recommend, and that’s coming from me, I don’t ever play mobile games! This one is definitely a keeper!

I want to give this game five stars, I’ve been playing since day 1, with that being said i’ve seen some disgusting practices within its gacha mechanics. At a certain point it becomes impossible to progress without forking over money. $30 +tax to be exact, for specific characters you may want. There is a currency in game called “hunter vault breaker” it’s a premium currency. They give it to you in a abundance but surprise, surprise when it come time to actually use it, YOU CAN’T. They’ve completely removed the option and replaced it with an even more premium currency (it’s the exact same type of currency one is sky blue and the other is purple). When I first started the game I didn’t believe the reviews that called it p2w. But now as I’ve progressed to chapter XII it’s nigh on impossible to progress any further without spending money. Oh and you won’t only be spending money on characters you have to level them up also, the game doesn’t give you much to use, but they always give you the option of just paying for a mac level character. This is a disgusting practice and it needs to stop. I’ve already stop playing due to this and don’t plan on coming back until it’s fixed. Besides that GLARING issues it’s a solid hack n slash for iOS devices. Just know they WILL try to get your money and everything IS expensive.

The game right off the bat isn’t that bad looking. It honestly has a good art style I’d prefer over the hyper realistic graphics of dmc5. The combat is still fun even though it plays very differently from a actually dmc game. Where the game falls apart is the heavy and greedy pay to win practices. Very horrible drop rates and no guarantee on a summon banner. I’ve seen the china version of the game and it has more generous systems in place. For example in the china version, they only have one summon ticket for all summons. In global you have 2 types of summon tickets. A purple ticket to summon for a limited banner and a blue ticket to summon from a permanent weaker selection pool. The stamina to play generates so slow it takes nearly 24 hours to fill. Even at full stamina, you’ll only be a able to about 30 mins for each day. After you clear the story mode, is nothing fun to do except 4 modes that get boring fast. Bloody palace used to be a fun survival mode to see how long you can survive. Now it’s just a 6 stage boring time clear mode that changes every week. Not even having a powerful character can save the boring gameplay loop. A free to play player can find better games out there. It could been the best hack n slash on mobile. Greedy and pay to win with a horrible daily play loop is where stands now.
