You can choose a character for some levels in DMC 5 and each has different layers of complexity

At sure points in the story of DMC 5, you volition accept the pick of playing as either Dante, Nero, or V.

While some levels will force this choice on you, in that location is some flexibility at certain points with who you lot want to play equally. Since each graphic symbol has their own quirks and unlike layers of complexity, no doubt you'll desire to play through the game multiple times.

"Okay, and so, there'due south a agglomeration of different missions in the game, and the way that they piece of work is that there's some missions where you lot'll play with a specific character, some missions where you'll choose betwixt one of two, and some where you lot'll choose one of three," series director Hideaki Itsuno told VG247 at the Tokyo Game Show.

"Ideally, we've set up the mission structure in a style where people tin have the character that they're playing as – whether they've selected information technology or it's been chosen for them for that mission – and we'll have balanced information technology well with all the moves they can purchase at that point in time, how they've played, how many red orbs they've got."

While Capcom is hoping all three characters are nicely balanced and one doesn't stand out as the go-to pick, newcomers will notice it easier to get to grips with Nero's more simple moveset, while DMC veterans will exist able to pull off showboating combos with Dante.

"In terms of learning the characters and the mode the characters play, Nero is going to be a little scrap more than… he doesn't take as many options as Dante," Itsuno explained. "Dante is supposed to be this character where yous have all these dissimilar options available to you at whatever given point in time, and and then for veterans – yeah, they're really going to be able to make Dante sing with that.

"With Nero, he's got three options. He'due south got the Scarlet Queen (his sword), the Blueish Rose (his gun) and he's got a Devil Breaker at whatsoever given point in time. As such, the approach of 'okay, how am I gonna play stylishly' is a little different to with Dante. With Nero it'southward about how you make the best employ of those 3 options."

Equally for the third character, newcomer V, Itsuno says he has his ain unique style as well. Because it's a fresh concept, we'll all be figuring him out together.

"He's a character where considering nobody has played with him or in this style before, everybody is going to kickoff from nada with him," Itsuno said. "Everybody's going to have the same feel with him going in, at least initially. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the game is going to exist whatever easier or whatsoever more than difficult with any of the characters, mind.

"Really, the game's not out nevertheless, so… nosotros don't know if we've counterbalanced it well. I estimate we'll find out. Only – because we have these 3 different playable characters that have three dissimilar kinds of play – the promise is that nosotros've balanced the missions correctly."

DMC 5 is releasing on March 8 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
