DMC PoC - I'D RATHER SPEND $79,99 ON AN ACTUAL GAME!
Game: Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat
Platform: Mobile
Genre: Action RPG / Gacha / Free to Play
Overview
A series that features highly explosive combination mechanics is a very good series that has been able to attract a large number of players for a considerable amount of time. Even to this day, people continue to strive for high SSS+ scores.
There are some people who may find Devil May Cry to be tedious, repetitive, and not all that enjoyable to play through, but the game has a place for those who enjoy mindless hack and slash action that breaks combos. I am excitedly anticipating the release of a possible remake of DM3 or perhaps a release of DM6 in the future.
This is due to the fact that a great number of developers in recent years have been returning to some of their most beloved and legendary titles with remakes.
Issues
The issue that this game is facing is that this is not something that you can simply sit down and play for five hours while having a great deal of fun or having a fantastic story told to you about all your favorite characters from the series.
For all intents and purposes, it is nothing more than a Cash Grab Gacha that relentlessly pushes every opportunity in your face to purchase their incredible 99.99% discounted shop elements, which are, in fact untrue and blatant lies to trick you into purchasing something that is basically worth nothing at all.
It might not appear to be much of a problem; but you need to take it seriously. A very limited time offer for a 100 Gacha Pull, similar to many other games, that allows you to choose only one result, for a reasonable sum of in-game currency, where they want you to give them a whole $79.99 while tossing the fear of missing out at you because it is only available for twelve hours. I just don't know what to say about this.
Graphics & Presentation
Squished, condensed, poor frames, bugs, and glitches are all there. You name it, the game definitely includes it in certain sections, which makes it quite confusing.
Why is there so much background blurring that is poorly optimized and of bad quality, even when the settings are set to their greatest levels? A significant portion of the time, the mouths of the avatars do not even move, and the voice acting is not very good. The music that gets better when you combo high and the general basic combo effects visually are the only things that this game has going for it. In other words, this game is lacking in any other aspect.
Gameplay
At the very least, you would anticipate that the gameplay itself will be enjoyable and of a satisfactory quality, right? Well, not exactly. The gameplay, albeit having many components that were similar to those seen in earlier games, was often interrupted by minute-long cutscenes shown on a panning screen, and there was no option to skip them. Afterwards you would fight for 1 minute, another cutscene and them leave.
The trouble with this is that the game wants you to use energy in between each and every one of these, which is fine, but the fact of the matter is that they desire a great deal of energy. You would think that they would want 5 or 10, but instead they want 20-40, and how much does a pack of 20-40 energy cost? 1 dollar, and it takes three hours to obtain this while waiting. It's such a detraction from the game as a whole.
Conclusion
Between the advertisements for the game that were made with AI and the general lack of concern for their community. It would be an understatement to say that Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat is the pinnacle of anything other than the garbage pile.
