Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition Reviews
Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is another great Capcom port for the Switch 2, maintaining that crucial 60fps gameplay without completely tanking the visual presentation. There are a few blemishes, mind you, and the absence of an entire mode means this isn't the definitive release of the game.If you've never experienced DMC5 before, however, you're in for a treat. This is one of the best action games out there, and the finest DMC entry so far.
Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition brings the demon-slaying action of the franchise's peak to the Nintendo Switch 2.
That said, it's clear the party can never be complete. Capcom, it's a shame you didn't include absolutely all the content , and it's a real slap in the face that you still haven't committed to "real" physical cartridges and are releasing it as a Keycard, when it would fit perfectly on a 32GB card, and it's arriving two months later...

The Switch 2 is never going to be as powerful as a PS5 or XBOX Series, but games like DMC 5 show it doesn’t need to be. Aside from a slight… crispiness to the character models hair, similar to other RE Engine titles I’ve played on Switch 2, this game looks great.
Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is an incredible technical achievement. A masterclass in action, the landmark title works perfectly on the Switch 2, making this an essential purchase for those who have missed the adventure.
Just as with the original release of Devil May Cry 5, this Devil Hunter Edition for Switch 2 arrives during a golden age for Capcom, which is enjoying the success of RE Requiem and Pragmata while awaiting the new Onimusha. The overall quality of this edition is excellent, and in terms of content, there's nothing to complain about despite the absence of some features found in the previously released Special Edition. It's also a shame about a few technical glitches, though they don't significantly detract from the overall quality of the experience.

Devil May Cry 5 arrives on Switch 2 with a convincing Devil Hunter Edition. It's a solid and fun port, especially at the promotional launch price.

A spectacular Switch 2 port of one of the best action games ever made.
Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is a superbly crafted port of one of Capcom’s finest action games, which works brilliantly on both the large and small screens of the Nintendo Switch 2. A superb combat system, four distinctly different characters, a steady 60 FPS and a wealth of content mean that even years on, returning to Red Grave City is hugely satisfying.

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition may not be a definitive port of the game, but few players would bother complaining about what's missing. This is still a fast and fluid action title with plenty of content and a campaign that never feels like it's dragging along. Most importantly, this is a port that looks just as good as its more powerful console brethren without any performance drops. Capcom has already proven in the Switch 2's first year that it can be trusted to bring out solid ports of its games with minimal compromise, and DMC5 keeps that streak going.
While Devil Hunter Edition may not match the suite of technical features and bonus modes from the Special Edition, players will still find that this is an exceptional port of a great game that is unbelievably hard to put down. Vergil is here, and he is still the most important addition. Devil May Cry 5 is widely regarded as one of the best games Capcom released during its redemption arc, which kicked off with Resident Evil 7, and for good reason. It's jam-packed with polished action, thrills, and some of the most refined and ridiculous 3D combat ever designed.
Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is not the definitive version of the game, but it comes extremely close and exceeds expectations entirely. The game remains one of the best action games on the market despite being released back in 2019. While certain graphical sacrifices and the lack of Legendary Dark Knight mode are noticeable, its consistent 60 FPS performance and inclusion of nearly all DLC make it a port worthy of an SS Rank.
Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is perfect for those with no prior experience of the adventures of Dante and his companions. In other words, me! It is easy to get into the story thanks to a "movie" that recounts the series' history, while various difficulty levels and accessibility options ensure players of all skill levels can enjoy the game. The characters' roguish charisma makes every moment entertaining, and time spent with the trio certainly never drags.

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is an outstanding addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 library. It delivers the complete core experience, includes all of the previously released DLC, performs exceptionally well, and finally allows one of Capcom’s greatest action games to be enjoyed both at home and on the go.
Despite its notably repetitive level design and visual variety, Devil May Cry 5 remains one of the best action games in recent years, thanks to its deep combat system, character variety, and the massive amount of content it offers. And the Devil Hunter Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 is a fantastic option for anyone looking to experience it on a handheld device with largely stable technical performance.

This is one of the best action games ever made, and it’s finally available on Switch 2. I can’t emphasize how cool it is to have a fully optimized version of Devil May Cry 5, on-the-go, on a Nintendo system. Despite a few small graphical and content setbacks (though nothing too egregious), this is, by and large, the same game I fell in love with all those years ago.
Capcom has done an excellent job bringing its franchises to the Switch 2. From the new Resident Evil titles to Street Fighter 6—available right at the new console's launch— Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition serves as further proof of the company's commitment to re-establishing strong ties with Nintendo; they have not only brought over an already excellent game largely intact but also ensured it runs flawlessly on the Switch 2.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is an outstanding port but I wouldn’t call it a definitive one. Honestly, it's astounding that Legendary Dark Knight Mode is the only thing they couldn’t fit in this port and despite its absence, I would still highly recommend this game to anyone, not just character action fans.
Comfortably earns its place as one of the Nintendo Switch 2’s best action games
