![]() There are quite a few things sour the experience. The combat and the character sound good on paper, however, the actual experience is very janky. But people don’t come for the story, do they? I am willing to overlook the weak story. As for the story, all I can say is it has a story, if you get what I mean. But the storytelling did not have an equal amount of love with the characterizing, as cutscenes constantly stagnate in showing Bayonetta’s characteristics, not moving the story forward. It feels natural and nothing abrupt, grimy, or out of character (of course it helps sell the game to teenage boys). Some people think she is over-sexualized, I think she is properly done, in the sense that her sexiness fits her personality quite well. She is appealing, cocky, funny, independent. Character & Storyīayonetta is a very interesting character. And unlike DMC, the game would not “taunt” you for using the same moves repeatedly (but punishes you for death and taking damage), as long as you remember a few combos from the list, you are good to go. Since most enemies are very agile and aggressive, this will be your way to defeat the game. It is a very innovative design and pretty fun to play. A successful evade right before attack can enter “witch time”, which essentially is time stops for a few seconds for you to attack, so the core combat can boil down to “evade-witch time-attack”. To offset this, Bayonetta has the evade and “witch time” as its own features. In DMC, most enemies get stunned when being attacked, while in Bayonetta they just continue to do what they are doing. The enemy reaction is different as well, resulting in how the combat plays out. Therefore, Bayonetta is easier to master, as you only need to memorize the combo list, while DMC is more of the in-depth one for more freedom to “personalize” your combo. Whereas DMC does not have attack difference and combo only depends on how you chain your every single action together. Bayonetta consists of light and heavy attack and fixed combo, as you need to string light and heavy attack in strict order to perform combo. But in terms of the core combat mechanic, they are quite different. These two series share some similar traits: cocky character personality, over-the-tone story tone and some in-game mechanics such as upgrade system, combat rating etc. Unlocked resolutions up to 4K, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, SSAO lighting, scalable texture and shadow quality, and more.įreely switch languages and subtitles at any time.

Unleash gruesome torture attacks such as the Iron Maiden, Guillotine and more to finish off enemies and send them to hell. Over-the-top action in extreme environments resulting in continuous high levels of tension and excitement – Bayonetta pushes the genre into new realms of intensity.īayonetta wields an impressive arsenal of weapons through an intuitive and fluid combat system, unleashing deadly combos and special attacks with devastating results. FeaturesĪn alluring, stylish and all-action heroine unlike anyone else on the gaming landscape, Bayonetta is ready to push your senses to the limit. Bayonetta in fact is the spiritual successor of DMC 1, representing what DMC would have been if the series does not have Hideaki Itsuno as stepdad. But ever since the late development of DMC 2, Hideaki Itsuno has been directing every DMC except the outsourced one. Hideki Kamiya, the director of Bayonetta, made the first Devil May Cry. You may also be watching a cutscene or in the middle of a fight, when suddenly it asks you to press a button or a combination, if you fail you instantly die so don’t let your guard down (deaths affect heavily on your chapter score). Bosses that you fought become common enemies later on meaning if you didn’t figure out how to properly dispatch one you will struggle. ![]() The fighting is fast, responsive, and upgradable.
