Travelling across the world and facing off against these creatures in various locales, she also finds herself teaming up with old allies, a witch-in-training named Viola, as well as an ensemble of alternate Bayonettas, to put a stop to the Homonculi's plans before they plunge humanity into deeper chaos.īayonetta 3, like its predecessors, is an action hack and slash game in which players control the eponymous protagonist Bayonetta as she combats various enemies using a combination of melee attacks and gunplay. It's all a bit "Into The Bayonetta-Verse", but it creates a perfect narrative backdrop for reality-smashing set pieces such as surfing a demon through cities collapsing into dimensional spirals, and chasing down enemies the size of SHIELD Helicarriers, all capped off by Bayonetta herself adding some sassy commentary or a flirtatious wink as she teases and torments her foes.Bayonetta is confronted by Homonculi, a new, man-made threat seeking to wreck havoc. The core story sees the multiverse collapsing, with a creature called Singularity aiming to destroy all realities besides his own "Alphaverse", and 'our' Bayonetta being the last one with a chance at saving all existence.
That sheer, brazen lunacy of Bayonetta 3 is one of its greatest charms, though.

Viola is also aided by Cheshire, a companion demon based on the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, who has a mouth full of psychedelic shifting rainbows and travels on a flying Penny Farthing – just in case you thought this latest entry in the series might be any less ridiculous than its predecessors.
Viola, for instance, is more of a brawler, with her Witch Time ability triggered by parrying, rather than dodging, enemy attacks. Other characters – the returning Jeanne, and newcomer Viola, a witch in training – have their own combat styles to master, with unique twists. The sheer, brazen lunacy of Bayonetta 3 is one of its greatest charms.
While Bayonetta herself still packs a punch (not to mention a roundhouse kick and several volleys of ammo from her signature guns in hands and heels), serving up ever-more stylish combos and dispatching enemies while dipping in and out of slo-mo Witch Time, the summons add an even grander sense of scale to Bayonetta 3's battles.
Bayonetta 3 developer update#
They're the biggest update to the series, and Madama and her ilk make the already fantastic combat the series is known for even better. Unlike Lady D, you won't be running from her – she's just one of the many demonic summons at Bayonetta's disposal in this long-awaited sequel. This is something Bayonetta – always a series to embrace a cheeky sexuality – takes to the next level with Madama Butterfly, a multi-storey-sized anthropomorphic moth woman who seduces and then slays her enemies. Rather, Resi's iconic, towering Lady Dimitrescu introduced the world to a heretofore unrealised giant lady fetish. Not in a gameplay sense – the first-person horror of the latter is worlds removed from the stylish, colourful action of the returning Umbra Witch here. Bayonetta 3 developer PlatinumGames seems to owe a small debt to Capcom's Resident Evil Village.
