The series uses occult imagery in a way that cheapens it, but at the same time, it also has an ongoing theme that humans, despite being physically weaker than demons, have a heart and soul, and that heart and soul makes them stronger than these demons

Vergil eventually loses to Dante, because on one hand, Dante rejects the fact that his father was a demon. Vergil, on the other hand, rejected his humanity and emotion because he wrongly believed it was the source of his weakness, instead of seeing that it was his strength all along

Its easy to write of DMC as satanic BS because of the surface level imagery, but like many other tales it uses the imagery of these fantastical, superhuman battles in order to illustrate a core concept of humanity, and shows that it is never right to abandon that humanity

At least the main series. The reboot (the one that you used a picture of) is an example of one of those awful stories of videogame development i mentioned before.

That game manages to parody itself, while being completely oblivious to how ironic its story and content is

Its a complete mess and it tarnished the series for another 5 years
