Adventure games is one of the oldest genres ever created, beginning with the text adventure Colossal Cave Adventure back in the 1970s. Since the introduction of graphics, the game interface has changed and the genre itself has evolved drastically. Unlike adventure movies, good adventure games are not defined by their story or content. They typically require the player to solve different puzzles by interacting with both non-playable characters and the environment. Because they put little pressure on the player in the form of action-based challenges, adventure games can appeal to people who do not normally play video games.

Originally created as a Resident Evil’s sequel, it was so different in style and mechanics that it was developed into a completely new game. The series focuses on the main character Dante and his goal of avenging his mother's murder. The gameplay consists of multiple combat scenes in which players have to extend long chains of attacks and avoid taking damage. The series is very loosely based on the Divine Comedy poem by the use of numerous allusions (including the game's protagonist, named after Dante Alighieri). The gameplay of Devil May Cry games focuses primarily on fast-paced combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration (the latter are retained from DMC’s survival horror origins). They are downplayed however as Devil May Cry games focus mostly on action. The Devil May Cry series has been a massive hit, with the first three games selling millions of copies worldwide. This success has led to the creation of novelizations, comic book series, an animated series, and even a line of action figures.
