Bayonetta (ベヨネッタ,
Beyonetta?) is an
action game for
PlayStation 3 and
Xbox 360, directed by
Devil May Cry and
Viewtiful Joe series creator
Hideki Kamiya at
Platinum Games in cooperation with publisher
Sega.
Set in a fictional city in Europe, the game centers on its
title characterThe witch; Bayonetta, who can wield four handguns—among other weapons like a katana and weapons from enemies—and perform
magical attacks to defeat various enemies, demons, etc.
The game has five difficulty
settings; its two easiest ones contain a game mode playable with only
one button, similar to a mode Kamiya used in
Devil May Cry.
Its
developers designed its characters with modern style and fashion in
mind, and composed for it a largely upbeat and feminine soundtrack.
