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.

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.
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
If you don’t have access to the Special Edition of Devil May Cry 5, or just want another banger of a port for the Nintendo Switch 2, Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is another miracle port that makes you realize that Nintendo’s second hybrid has quite a lot of horsepower under the hood. Either that or the RE Engine really is capable of reaching for the moon and creating wonders. Either way, Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is in my opinion a must play for fans of action games and owners of the Nintendo Switch 2.
While the core gameplay the series has always offered is in full intense effect, it’s the variety as you move between characters and play styles that helps this iteration stand out
Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition brings Capcom’s fast action game to Nintendo Switch 2 with Vergil, extra Devil Breakers, colour options, and music options included. The combat still makes you chase better ranks, smarter timing, and better control over Nero, Dante, V, and Vergil. The visual cutbacks, missing Legendary Dark Knight mode, and reused Vergil campaign structure stand out more if you already know the game well. If you missed Devil May Cry 5 before, this is a great place to start, and returning fans should come back for portability more than new content.
Devil May Cry V: Devil Hunter Edition is a wild ride, and one that rewards effort and practice. Is this the best port I have ever played? No. Ironically, Capcom’s recent Pragmata release was an extremely solid day-one release for the platform that I might use as an example for the issues here. Dante and friends are still in top form on the Nintendo Switch 2, so if this is your first time, or 100th, slaying demons with the fate of the world at stake, you should be just fine.
Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition delivers a phenomenally optimized, near-locked 60 FPS portable showcase of Capcom’s masterclass character action. While it structurally strips away the demanding Legendary Dark Knight and Turbo modes, DLSS upscaling keeps the visual flair remarkably clean, offering a superb entry point for newcomers.
Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition delivers an uncompromised, handheld way to experience one of the best hack-and-slash adventures out there. Whether you have never touched a Devil May Cry game in your life or you are a hardened veteran looking to practice your Dante combos on the go, this is an essential purchase and an incredibly easy excuse to double dip. Once again, Capcom has absolutely smashed it out of the park on the Nintendo Switch 2, which should leave Nintendo gamers very, very happy.
