History VideoGame / DevilsThird

* GiantMook[=/=]HeavilyArmoredMooks: Large enemies wearing a heavy metal suit of what looks like PoweredArmor fulfill this role. They can soak a lot of damage and fight with either heavy weapons (most commonly miniguns) or heavy two-handed battleaxes.

* LuxuryPrisonSuite: Despite the fact that he's a prisoner in Gitmo, Ivan's private cell is very spacious and includes his own drum set, sound system, a private bathroom and he even has his own supply of liquor.

* GenreBusting: ''Devil's Third'' integrates elements of HackAndSlash (finding its roots in Itagaki's work on ''Ninja Gaiden''), BeatEmUp (owing to ''Dead or Alive''), and ThirdPersonShooter gameplay (plus aiming will snap the focus into a first-person mode, very similar to the "Aim Down Sights" function of many modern FirstPersonShooter games).
* {{Gorn}}: Very similar to the presentation in ''Ninja Gaiden'' (Xbox series). Using your sword will eviscerate your enemies every which way with liberal sprays of blood.

* OneManArmy: Ivan goes in without backup and, judging by early footage, he really doesn't need it.

* TattooedCrook: Ivan's body is heavily inked with Sanskrit characters, spelling out various Buddhist scriptures. Apparently his design takes cues from an old Japanese folktale named "Hoichi the Earless".

* WalkingArmory: Ivan can carry two guns and a sword to deal with enemies at any given time.

The game released on August 4th in Japan, August 28th in Europe, and will be released on December 11th in North America.

Players take the role of a lone wolf special operations soldier known as "Ivan". The setting of the game takes place after a catastrophic event called the "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome Kessler Effect]]" has come to pass; a theoretical scenario where man-made satellites orbiting the Earth will eventually collide with each other. As the satellites collide and break apart, that creates more debris, leading to a chain reaction of destroyed satellites crashing to the surface. The world, now stripped of satellite communication, is a much different place and warfare has had to change and adapt to this dramatic shift in technological deficiency.

* KatanasAreJustBetter: Ivan's default blade of choice appears to be a standard katana, similar to Ryu Hayabusa from ''Ninja Gaiden''. He's seen using other melee weapons, however (such as a small axe or a knife). He can also throw any of his melee weapons at enemies.

* [[TattooedCrook Tattooed Badass]]: Ivan's body is heavily inked with Sanskrit characters, spelling out various Buddhist scriptures. Apparently his design takes cues from an old Japanese folktale named "Hoichi the Earless".
