teasers

In her new adventure, Bayonetta throws out the beatings in the familiar manner, but in order to survive against powerful new foes, she also demonstrates a whole new magic trick.

It’s been 12 years since the trigger-happy Umbra witch Bayonetta made her debut to solve the mystery of her origins and pluck all kinds of angels’ feathers. The latter were not on good terms with the demon pacting and cocky lady. Bayonetta’s journey began on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Fans of Spectacle Fighters á la Devil May Cry (whose creator Hideki Kamiya is also Bayonetta’s dad) were delighted, but the commercial success was manageable, Platinum Games did not initially find anyone interested in a sequel – but then Nintendo of all people took on the overly sexualized heroine, who likes to turn her enemies into bloody chunks at finishers the wing. So it appeared that it was also very successful Bayonetta 2 (in the test, grade 8.5) first for WiiU and later like the first for Switch.

Now, it’s almost that time, and a third hair-raising adventure (did I mention the part about her wearing her hair for clothing, but also using it as a catalyst for summoning demons, so she often walks around scantily clad?) starring Bayonetta is hitting the Nintendo Switch . I could already bayonetta 3 play and can already inform you in this preview how part 3 brings a breath of fresh air to the fights.

Bayonetta’s new weapons include the G-Club. This mace complete with a demon skull spits fire if you hold down the attack button after hitting it.

Listen who’s hommuncult

I found myself with Bayonetta in destroyed Tokyo. The cause of the devastation wasn’t Godzilla (a crossover I wouldn’t put it past Platinum), it was the Hommunculi. This army of bioweapons isn’t from Paradiso (Heaven) or Inferno (Hell), but that doesn’t mean they’re out for less trouble, as I’m sure you could have guessed the way the bunch treat Tokyo.

Happily is Bayonetta defensive how anyway. Through one right timed evasive step solve I the quality old witch time outwhich extremely slows down the time and the short also the new enemies dumb out the Laundry watch leaves, while balls, punches and kicks you pour in. In matters animations is it one joy, the heroine at her spanking dance to watch. in the run of adventure finds you naturally again new toys how the G stick and also general lays you a few new steps onto parquet.

Madama Butterfly’s special ability is to stun opponents with a thrown kiss, but to charge up this attack, the demoness has to perform a lengthy dance choreography herself.

It’s getting diabolical

That is summoned the unstoppable Umbra Witch With their hair demonsaround their Opponent to flatten, Indeed are their acquaintances out the hell fewer cooperative, if it Not therefore goesthe hated Angel to eat. Therefore must you Bayonetta With one Magic under their control bring. A magic dance, um I agree to be. That is Not only splendid dumbthat has playful effects: in the third part of the series use I now magic energy Thereforearound while Battle demons summonthat I active control. Madam Butterfly goes very fast to the Matter, while the fans as well Well familiar gomorrha portly to the Matter goes. It is important Not Bayonetta to forgetthe vulnerable is, while I the demons control. In addition owns everyone demon special Maneuver. Only Gomorrah can grab opponents and throw them around like that.

As nice as the fights are, technically Bayonetta 3 won’t win a flower pot. The resolution often looks washed out and it is particularly noticeable how not only opponents in front of the camera dissolve into a cloud of small dots, but also objects or effects in the distance – the latter can then no longer be justified by maintaining the overview. However, the fighting seemed fluid at all times.

Opinion: Hagen Gehritz

From the first moment on shines bayonetta 3 With the flow that also the predecessor to so grandiose actionTo play made. attacks dodge and With the witch time fight back or Buttons in combos pressed to keep, in order to Bayonetta while melee attacks further out everyone pipes shoots power again huge fun. Next to this trusted Strengthen leads PlatinumGames With the Demon Summoning one weighty innovation a, then the Help the hellish minions is Not optional. It needs you, if enemies shields summon. and who value up top ratings in the Battle lays, becomes itself probably in the Summoner Playstyle get in have to.

To the story take me on this Job Nothing in advance, but the prelude offers direct those absurd moments and beautiful ridiculous spectacular scenesthe Bayonetta award. the more often barren acting environments and the ugly gritty kind, With the further removed objects and partly effects hidden will, were think single fly in the ointment in think first hours With Bayonetta 3. My impression isthe becomes very good!
