DmC Devil May Cry Vergils Downfall DLC Review PS3

NOTE: This DLCs filesize on PS3 is 1888 MB. Fast Internet connection speed is highly recommended to download this DLC.



This DLC features six playable Missions where you can control Vergil, Dantes twin brother. Unlike Dante, Vergil has his own unique set of moves involving his signature weapon, Yamato. As in the main game, you need to progress in the game by defeating enemies and completing some platforming sections. Without spoiling much stuff, I can safely say that the story of the DLC takes place after the events of main game.

Unlike Dante, Vergil lacks selection of weapons compared to him. However, he has a number of exclusive and devastating moves that will allow him to kill enemies stylishly like Dante, such as his Spiral Swords and Doppelganger abilities. Vergil also has access to both Angel and Demon abilities, where he can utilise even more attacks using his Yamato.

Level designs in this game are pretty much the same as Dantes levels in the main game, where you can explore to collect stuffs such as Health Cross Fragments and Lost Souls, fight enemies, and use both Demon and Angel abilities to complete platforming sections. There are three new enemies encountered in the game, and they are unique only to this DLC.

It is also noticeable that the game has no music by Combichrist or Noisia. Instead, this DLC uses music composed by Jason Graves, a veteran music composer that is popular for his Dead Space scores as well as the recent Tomb Raider score.

There are few things I like in this DLC, but there are many things that I dislike as well. Using Vergil is pretty cool, and it is regrettably that he did not have his own game. He also has some stylish and cool moves to use, as well as classic moves from the original Devil May Cry series such as Rapid Slash. Music is pretty good overall, and the replay value is pretty good if you want to tackle the games other difficulty modes such as Vergil Must Die! difficulty or Son of Sparda difficulty.

However, I felt that this DLC is lacking of story content. It was pretty short, and the DLC does not have enough story content to flesh out Vergils personality to the fullest. Although Vergils development in this DLC is interesting, I felt that it is still lacking since it does not explore much of his background story. The games completion time is pretty short, where it can be completed under an hour if you are an extremely good player. Another thing I dislike is the comic-style cutscenes. I understand that the usage of comic-style cutscenes are to save filesize of the DLC, but I felt that those comic-style cutscenes are simply unattractive, particularly due to the artworks shown in the cutscenes.

I can only recommend people to buy this DLC only if they like to play as Vergil, and also if they have a lot of money. Although this DLC might not worth the price since it can be completed under an hour, it has good replay value due to inclusions of collectibles and other difficulty modes. Due to its short completion time, I would have preferred if the DLC is included with the main game for everyone from the start. If you actually just want to buy this DLC to see what happen to Vergil after the main games events, I highly suggest you to look up for Youtube videos to see what happened to him, unless you have lots of money to spare or if you are a story completionist. It is a good DLC for any interested DmC players, but it is not a must buy.

Score: 7/10
