About the game
Devil May Cry: The Bloody Palace is an easy to learn, fast-paced, and dynamic experience where style counts for everything. Take control of one of Devil May Cry’s iconic demon hunters, Dante, Nero, Trish, or even the newest addition to the series, the mysterious V. Players will be trying to outscore each other by building the most impressive attack combos. Utilising the cards in their hand to build the biggest combo chain; the longer the chain the more Style Points you'll score. Will you keep pushing your combo or will you claim it early? A bigger combo scores more points, but a single hit from the demons surrounding you can break the chain! The winner is the devil hunter who can score the most Style Points after a set number of enemy waves; featuring hordes of Empusa, behemoth Antenora, and towering bosses! —description from the designer
