Understanding the Gameplay Mechanics

To give a premise of what the gameplay in Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat looks like, imagine any ARPG but with hundreds of more combos and a plethora of unique weapons to choose from. Players can enjoy the heart throbbing action provided by the game at up to 240 FPS without facing any delays, lags, or crashes. Ensure you have a stable network connection without packet loss to enjoy Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat at its best. The controls are quite simple and can even be customized to tailor the needs of the player. You have the usual joystick control that allows for smooth movement for your characters. A dodge button is also provided that acts as a fail-safe mechanic in case you get caught in enemy attacks or projectiles. A basic attack button is also there that allows for players to continuously hit their targets without worrying about casting spells. A jump button is also present that allows players to move in the air or come down to the ground. Jumping is in fact quite different in this game than other ARPGs. You can move quite a bit in the air and execute some crazy combos without worrying about falling to the ground instantly. 

Adding onto the shiny mechanics are the vivid abilities that offer players a more diverse choice of combat. Abilities can be active or passive. Active abilities mean you need to press the button to activate them, while passive abilities can be activated automatically when meeting certain conditions. Each Hunter is quite unique in this aspect as they are blessed with multitude of abilities and combos. By combo, we simply mean hitting the enemy as hard as you can and as fast as you can. Executing fast combos will be the main challenge for a new player as you need to time your skills correctly for maximum damage.

There are multiple characters in Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat, some you can play while others act as NPCs. Enemies and bosses are also diverse, adding onto the strategic element of tackling them. Once you get used to the controls, the combat will seem more genuine and fun as you slash your way through hordes of enemies. Each stage has multiple levels, with almost all culminating with a boss fight. The boss fight is quite different from other battles, as you need to read on how the boss moves, fights, and throws their abilities. Sometimes, bosses are even weaker to certain types of weapons. Think strategically and devise new line-ups to constantly mix up your tactics. 

Each Hunter/character in Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat has access to some fixed stats. These stats can be upgraded to make your character even stronger. Check them out:

• HP (Health Points) – These are the health points available to all characters. Once this is consumed, your character will faint.

Understanding the Vault System

Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat offers a ton of customization options to players, in both characters as well as weapons. However, to get the strongest hunters and weapons, you need to engage with the Vault system. It is a gacha system where everything is dependent on your luck. A pity system also exists that allows players to sufficiently guarantee a Legendary hunter. 

There exist different types of summoning banners in the Vault. The banners offer a mixed bag of goodies, ranging from Hunters to Weapons. Each Hunter and weapon in the game are assigned a base rarity. The higher the rarity, the stronger they are generally considered. Players can summon on the different Vault banners using Hunter Vault Breakers or Gems.
