Idea: You play as Dante, a basic asshole. No, I guess that's not the only thing he is. At first he's just a playboy bad ass until he meets Kat and then Vergil. They introduce him to what he and the city he lives in really is.
You end up jumping between realities and killing demons while attempting to free the city from a demon overlord and sort of trying to avenge your mother and father, who he killed/enslaved.
Thoughts: It may be a good thing that I never played the first three or four games of this, this is a reboot and it's actually not very good. The gameplay is fine, sort of reminding me of Darksiders, but damn the story is generic.
Your main character Dante is a Nephillim, when he and his twin brother were very young their parents Eva {an Angel} and Sparda {a demon} were killed/enslaved by Mundus {King of the Demons}. While there Mundus only saw one of the boys so he believed there was just one Nephillim {Dante}.
Present day, Dante has spent all his life hunted by demons without actually knowing why. He believes he lost his early memories to a bout of meningitis, one morning after taking two chicks home from a bar he meets Kat who warns him of a Hunter Demon that finds him and pulls him into Limbo.

| Human Barbos. |
The demons, with Barbos being their semi-leader in the city is using an energy drink known as Virility to control the humans {the drink is actually made by a succubus}. Dante's recruited to help with this task...
Ending: Kat gets abducted by Barbos who also doesn't realize that there are two Nephillim and wants Dante to surrender himself for Kat. Vergil of course won't alllow this to happen so, they use the information that Dante learned earlier of Barbos girlfriend {whore?} being pregnant with his heir to their advantage. They go and kidnap her....Trade time. During the trade, Lilith for Kat... Vergil shoots Lilith from behind and kills both she and the child. This pisses off Barbos to no end...
Back with Dante and Vergil, Kat helps them break into Barbos' tower for the final battle. Dante fighting his way through while Vergil is playing backup with the computery stuff and shutting down the demon gate. Demon gate shut down, Barbos dead and....... *gasp* Barbos isn't the final bad guy.
With Barbos gone, Vergil has every intention to fill that void. He'll be the new "nice" leader for the humans and the like since they need protection from the demons and all. Dante doesn't like the idea and the two of them fight...
Blah,Blah,Blah, Dante wins and Vergil leaves... Kat's still with Dante and The End.
Character...
Kat - A human that works closely with Vergil, he apparently "saved" her and has been teaching her to use her abilities. At the end it's pretty obvious that he really doesn't care a bit about her though and was basically just using her to get what he wanted.
Anyways, she's really a sweet girl and seems to have worked her way into Dante's heart {kinda}. When she was younger, her adopted father would do bad things to her.... during the events she would try to put her mind elsewhere.. that lead to her being able to Astral project.
Not much else is revealed about her, but she certainly has a soft spot for Vergil. Even after he reveals his true plans after Barbos' death.
Maybe I should eventually play the other DMCs, there is a collection out for the PS3.... If I ever get around to finishing all the God of Wars, I may just pick it up. Maybe. Dante in any form doesn't really spark my interest much.
Odds I will ever Plat this? 0%. I am in no way up for the task of playing this game through five more time. Glad it was free, if I had bought it...I probably would kick myself.
