The order's logo

Story Summary: Say hello to Limbo City, a metropolis full of citizens that are being secretly controlled by demons. Living in this city is Dante , a Nephilim which is a hybrid from an Angel and a Demon. When Dante is in danger a person by the name of Kat warns him he should escape from the danger as soon as possible. When the danger resides, Kat explains to Dante that she's part of a group named "The Order". This group is led by Dante's twin brother Vergil . The group tries to expose light to what's happening to the citizens of Limbo City by using the media. When Vergil asks Dante if he remembers him, Dante doesn't so after that Vergil takes him to remember moments from his past. While dealing with the demons trying to kill him.


Story Review: The story is incredibly flawed. The game's writing seems to push itself to be as cool as possible to appease the old fans but for the most part it ends up being mean-spirited, falling flat or unintentionally hilarious.  Thankfully you can skip the cut-scenes so you don't need to be bothered much by this aspect of the game.

Story Score: 1 / 5


Graphics Review: The graphics in this game are a mixed bag, some areas look nice, others have an abundance of movie poster colors. This game also has a lot of texture pop-in and loading issues which are honestly a little off putting sometimes and i would've expected less pop-in since this game runs at 30FPS with a couple of big framerate drops. Most areas in this game look very grey and dull but now there's a very big issue with the graphics in this game. The issue being that this game has an over-exaggerated saturation of the colors and the bloom is very high so the combination of those two things can cause severe eye strain. I actually stopped playing this game a couple of times just because of this reason. Although one very interesting thing in this game is the morphing environments, the change in the surroundings is a very interesting idea but sadly this gets repetitive and lazy by the time you get 50% through the game.

Graphics Score: 2.5 / 5

Gameplay Review: Combat in this game is fun, but shallow. I can definitely say this is the best part of the game but sadly there isn't much more to the combat than pressing the attack buttons constantly and eventually dodge. One big issue is that you can break the combat by different ways either by making yourself able to kill bosses in 10 hits or have infinite air without doing much work. You can make some combos in the game but you won't need them since this game's difficulty is rather low at any difficulty setting. You won't have any trouble playing through this game, you can take that as you'd like. The platforming in this game works but is nothing to call home about. It can be fun but honestly is very average. The A.I in this game is very, very dumb, it doesn't give much a challenge as mentioned earlier but the A.I can either turn itself off or run into a wall. One very good of example i can mention is when i fought the first boss in 2 different play-throughs. The boss froze in place without attacking and never moving. This happened to me twice out of 5 play-throughs, so you should see this at least once if you play through the game more than once.

Gameplay Score: 2.5 / 5

Music Review: The music is horrible, for the most part it sounds like a bunch of noise that easily blends into the background which ends up sounding like a garbled mess.

Music Score: 1 / 5 


Overall: The game is below average and there's nothing much to it. You can enjoy this game if you've never played a hack n' slash game before or you don't play much games as it is. But for everybody else the game is not very enjoyable else i would recommend buying something else.

Overall Score: 2 / 5
