Not only will you not have much trouble with the many battles, be they against regular enemies or massive bosses, but you'll also get more familiarised with the gameplay and its many combo elements as well as have enough time for those SSS rank combos to register. The Devil Hunter mode is slightly tougher than the easier Human mode but we'd say it's not too much of a challenge for newcomers to the series or even newcomers to the genre. That being said, there's achievements/trophies for all difficulties and the lower ones don't unlock when you beat the game on a tougher one, meaning that you have to beat the game multiple times to get them all anyway if you care about your gamerscore or trophy case. We found that starting off on Human mode didn't really prepare us for the higher difficulties other than teaching us the basic movement controls. This mode makes for a good option for those wanting to just experience the game without having to nail any combos to get through it but for those who want to actually learn the different weapon combinations and epic moves the time it takes to eliminate enemies may be a little too short. The Human difficulty is Devil May Cry 5's easy mode and gives the player more health drops when killing enemies who also have less health and lower attack power. There's plenty of different difficulties to choose from but only two are available when starting the game up for the first time, Human and Devil Hunter. The first thing you'll be prompted to pick is the difficulty of your coming playthrough and there's more to it than you may think.
