Despite the site practically being an ode to the game, I never truly dove into the first title. I beat it on DMD in the HD collection years ago by spamming items and never looked back. Slowly trying to pick it up again as a side game since it is so short. Started my Hard Mode run on my original PS2 copy I snagged a while back. Was surprised to see such a weird controle-scheme. Triangle for jumping huh?
I do still like the game, some of the fights are pretty wack but the enemy-lore menu is good at informing you on little hidden weaknesses and tells so you can adapt. I do still play it pretty lame with my Alastor+E&I combination, would've liked to use more of Dante's arsenal but it just feels so unbalanced. Sparda is technically better if you're out of DT, but you rarely are. NightmareBeta doesn't see a lot of uses either.
