Reviews Nintendo Switch 2 Capcom Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition Review (Switch 2) No deal breaker Version Reviewed: European review by Ollie Reynolds Mon 22nd Jun 2026 Share: Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube 848k Capcom has become one of the most prolific and consistent publishers in recent years, putting out banger after banger with no signs of slowing down. This renaissance began in 2017 with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard , but it was arguably the one-two punch of Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5 in 2019 that cemented its enviable status. There have been several Resident Evils since 2019, yet with the departure of DMC veteran Hideaki Itsuno in 2024, the future of the action series is unclear. But that’s okay, because with Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition on Switch 2, a whole new audience finally has the opportunity to experience what I believe is the finest entry of them all. Captured on Nintendo Switch 2 (Docked) If you’re not caught up on the series, don’t worry: DMC5 includes a video detailing the story so far. It’s hardly comprehensive, but it’s enough to prepare you for the story ahead.

In a nutshell, three protagonists — Nero, V, and Dante — band together to defeat a powerful demon called Urizen. To say any more would venture into spoiler territory, but DMC5’s narrative is a well-paced rollercoaster from start to finish. If you’re familiar with previous entries, you’ll know what to expect in terms of gameplay. As you progress, you’ll encounter dozens upon dozens of enemies to dispatch.
