On Very Easy, pressing only the punch button will do everything (except moving out of combat) for you – even dodging. The three difficulty modes available at the start include Normal, Easy and Very Easy. Pull off the right combo and huge fists, feet or other creations will be conjured up by Bayonetta’s hair and unleashed on the unsuspecting (who’s going to expect that!) enemy.įor those that aren’t so skilled, have no fear – Bayonetta caters for you, too. Unlike most games, dodging here is actually a lot of fun, with enemies clearly telegraphing their moves which allows you to integrate the dodge into your regular move rotation and make combat where you take no damage achievable to the skilled.īayonetta can also wield her hair (which is also her clothing, so when she uses it as a weapon, well, there’s none to spare to keep her covered up) to devastating effect during combos. Pulling on the right trigger will cause Bayonetta to leap out of the way – doing so at the last possible moment before an enemy attack lands puts you automatically into “Witch Time”, slowing everything (except you) and providing an awesome opportunity to dish out a lot of low-risk damage. The next most important button / mechanic to learn is dodging. There are loads of combinations on offer (the loading screen providing an excellent opportunity to practice them) and learning them is fun. Sounds simple enough and it is – the complexity (and there is depth here, be in no doubt) comes in the order you press them in and the time delay between presses.

Chaos ensued and they were all wiped out – aside from Bayonetta, who was found (without her memories) in a box at the bottom of a lake. The basic story goes that there were once witches and sages in the world but they hated each other and went to war. If you’re familiar with Devil May Cry, you have a fair idea of what to expect here – it is, after all, designed by Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya.
