Okami

A stylish action game franchise by Capcom that debuted in 2001 and pioneered the 'character action' genre. Players control Dante, a charismatic half-demon half-human demon hunter, performing increasingly elaborate aerial combos against hordes of demons while being graded on style. Originally conceived as a Resident Evil prototype, the game's emphasis on fast-paced, combo-heavy combat with a style ranking system created an entirely new subgenre. The franchise directly inspired successors including Bayonetta, created by the original director Hideki Kamiya. With over 30 million copies sold across five mainline entries, Devil May Cry established the standard for action game combat systems and character design that persists to this day.
