Which Devil May Cry Game Has the Best Combat System in Your Opinion?

[rencefolap]

Hey everyone, I'm a longtime fan of the Devil May Cry series, but I recently replayed a few entries and started thinking — which game really nails the combat the best?

Each title has its own strengths:

- DMC3: Tight combos, style-switching (in Special Edition), and that classic feel.
- DMC4: Nero’s Devil Bringer added something fresh, and Dante’s full style-switching was insanely fun once mastered.
- DMC5: Easily the most polished combat system — smooth, fast, and packed with options across all characters.

Personally, I think DMC5 wins for sheer depth and fluidity, but DMC3 still feels the most raw and stylish. There's a certain charm in mastering it, especially on higher difficulties.

What about you? Which entry had the most satisfying combat for you — and why?
Would love to hear others' rankings or hot takes (even if someone says DmC 2013 ).

Looking forward to reading your thoughts!

In terms of sheer depth and what you can pull off i would have to say 4, but 5 has more fun combat with almost as much depth but more creativity. I miss guard flying though.
