Free mobile game
Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat is a free Android game that brings the DMC universe to your mobile device. The title features many enemies to hack and slash your way through in combat. Alongside the enemies are puzzles and dangerous environments you'll need to navigate through.
While there are no other Devil May Cry games for your mobile device, there are similar alternatives. These options include The Seven Deadly Sins, a free RPG, and Pascal's Wager, a paid-for game with many identical combat elements. However, DMC: PoC is the only game that lets you play as Dante.
DMC on your phone
Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat places the world of DMC at your fingertips. Playing as Dante, you'll explore scenes familiar to other DMC games and fight enemies inspired by the classics. DMC: PoC restores many elements from older games, including bosses and weapons.
Combat
The Devil May Cry series is known for its intense combo-reliant gameplay. Those combat mechanics continue within Peak of Combat, requiring you to chain attacks together.
As you fight, you have access to two primary attacks and your pistol. Mixing these attacks will perform combos and new moves. Due to this mechanic, the title is easy to play but hard to master.
Stunning visuals
Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat recreates many beautiful scenes from previous DMC games. From large church halls to city plazas, the field of combat is stunning. Additionally, both Dante, his equipment, and the opponents you face are beautifully remade in this mobile game.
As the visuals are stunning, many old devices will struggle to run the title, so Android 5.0 or newer is recommended.
Many in-app purchases
Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat has many in-game purchases that vary in price once you download the title to your device. While few of these will affect your gameplay in any dramatic way, they are a downside in almost any game.
Our take
Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat is a fantastic game that's fun to play for a short or long period. The combat mechanics are engaging and easily managed, thanks to a well-designed interface. However, the game features multiple in-app purchases that may off-putting to players.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you're a fan of the Devil May Cry series, this is a great release to install and play on any Android phone.
