devil-may-cry-3-logoDevil May Cry, um jogaço que, inicialmente, seria a continuação de Resident Evil. Graças ao bom senso, tornou-se uma franquia paralela, um arrasa-quarteirões que trouxe os Beat’em Ups para uma nova era, a era dos Stylish Action Games. Jogos como Batman: Arkhan Asylum são claramente inspirados em seu estilo “um herói, dezenas de inimigos e centenas de porradas“.

Devil May Cry conta a história de Dante, filho do demônio Sparda com Eva, uma humana. Sparda traiu sua raça para salvar a humanidade, selando o portão entre a Terra e o Inferno, mas morrendo no processo. Dante e Vergil foram criados por sua mãe que, antes de morrer nas mãos de demônios, deixou para os filhos as 2 metades da chave para o mundo dos demônios: um medalhão.

Em Devil May Cry 3, Vergil pretende usar a torre Temen-ni-gru (e as 2 metades do medalhão) para reabrir o portão que seu pai fechou para recuperar o que sobrou do seu poder, a espada Force Edge. O jogo gira em torno das batalhas e evoluções psicológicas dos personagens, que andam o tempo todo na linha que separa o bem do mal. Para um tema pesado como esse, temos a música The Devil’s Cry, com letra de Tetsuya Shibata e execução da extinta banda Coal Chamber


The Devil’s Cry, por Coal Chamber

Steal a soul for a second chance
But you will never become a man
I just wonder what makes me stronger
In a life that craves the hunger
Fade away in a quest for life
Until the end, don’t judge me nice

Bless me with your gift of light
Righteous cause on judgment night
Feel the sorrow the light has swallowed
Feel the freedom like no tomorrow

Stepping forth a cure for soul’s demise
Reap the tears of the victim’s cries
Yearning more to hear the suffer (of a)
Of a demon as I put it under

Killed before, a time to kill them all
Passed down the righteous law
Serve a justice that dwells in me
Lifeless corpses as far as the eye can see

The eye can see
The eye can see
The eye can see

The eye can see
The eye can see

Bless me with the
Leaf off of the tree
On it I see
The freedom reign

We are falling
The light is calling
Tears inside me
Calm me down

Midnight calling
Mist of resolving
Crown me, with the
Pure green leaf

Praise to my father /Life of vengeance, a passive test
Blessed by the water / Until the grave I will rest
Black night, dark sky / Engage the pressure until it crumbles
The devil’s cry / The existence of the lifeless black souls

Bless me with the / Onward to the sacred battlefield
Leaf off of the tree /Where justification and limits are revealed
On it I see / Tools of steel in rage they conquer
The freedom reign / Weed out the killing of victim’s stalker

We are falling / The powers proven to end the madness
The light is calling / Upon I take it to end the savage
Tears inside me / The rays of light a truth of meaning
Calm me down / To my father the blood is pleading

Midnight calling / A justice rage for all to feel
Mist of resolving / With innocent cries and hatred squeals
Crown me, with the / The gore of evil seems to satisfy
Pure green leaf / When slain an maimed and pacified

Bless me with the / My chosen torture makes me stronger
Leaf off of the tree / In a life that craves the hunger
On it I see / A freedom and a quest for life
The freedom reign / Until the end the judgment night

Praise to my father / Watch the footsteps but never follow
Blessed by the water / If you want to live tomorrow
Black night, dark sky / Steal a soul for a second chance
The devil’s cry / But you will never become a man
