![]() In the original, the colors were a little on the muted side in a lot of cases. It looks absolutely gorgeous even in 720p, and the atmosphere presented is visually stunning. Bayonetta 2 blew my expectations out of the water and it still feels good to play today. I was skeptical as to whether anything could top the feeling of my first experience with Umbran Witches, angels, and Lumen Sages. I was astounded by my first time with Bayonetta 2. You can still play online of course, but now you can hand a friend a joycon and go to town killing angels. The Nintendo Switch version has also enabled local co-op play for the Tag Climax mode, as opposed to solely online multiplayer. Other costumes are merely cosmetic, but add a little unique flair to your witchy adventure. Themed costumes such as Link or Peach will change Halos into rupees or coins respectively and also provide other interesting changes. The cool thing with using amiibo is that each time you use one, you get a bit of flavor text that reflects the amiibo you used. Other amiibo are compatible (you can use up to 32 amiibo per day) and provide bonuses like extra halos and consumables. I’m curious to see how this mechanic is implemented (or not) in Bayonetta 3. These costumes can be purchased in game for halos, but the amiibo support allows you to get them for free instead. Certain amiibo like Princess Peach, Link, Daisy, Samus, or Fox McCloud unlock Nintendo themed costumes, as well as a special Chain Chomp weapon, while the Bayonetta Smash amiibo unlocks other costumes. ![]() However, this time this option has its own button, so you no longer have to sacrifice the durability of enemy weapons on smaller enemies if you don’t want to.Īdditionally, the Nintendo Switch version of Bayonetta 2 has full amiibo support. Like in the original game, Bayonetta 2 allows you to pick up enemy weapons and use them against your foes. Some enemies are too large for torture attacks, so the Umbran Climax allows you to constantly turn your attacks into wicked weaves, doing large amounts of damage while your magic meter slowly depletes.Īside from the new weapons, and combat mechanics, there are a few new tidbits involving the game as a whole. In the sequel, a new mechanic has been added called “Umbran Climax” which can be triggered when Bayonetta has a full magic meter as an alternative to torture attacks. As in the original game, when Bayonetta’s magic meter is full, she can release a torture attack, which does massive damage to enemies. There is also Kafka, a bow that provides Bayonetta with ranged attacks and damage over time effects, and other new weapons that fit a variety of playstyles. New weapons include Chernobog, a double handed scythe that releases a shotgun blast upon being charged. Fun fact: You can still unlock Shuraba, though telling you how would be a spoiler. The twin swords called Rakshasa, and the Alruna whips replace the aforementioned weapons and are now equippable in either the hand or feet slots. The Scarborough Fair guns have been traded in for a set called Love is Blue, while weapons like Shuraba and Kulshedra have been replaced by improved versions. It is gory and violent, and there is foul language all throughout it.Īll of Bayonetta’s weapons are different on this adventure, though mostly in their design rather than function. With that being said, this game is most certainly NOT for children. The characters are foul-mouthed, there is suggestive humor, and everything one might expect from a Bayonetta game. It should be noted here, that Nintendo’s influence on Bayonetta 2 has had none of the effects people expected. Luckily the underwater segments don’t often require the transformation, so it isn’t much of an annoyance. ![]() This is unlocked over the course of the story, and while the controls for this transformation are a little wonky, it is mostly because of the camera and adding a new dimension to the movement. The setting immediately puts more emphasis on water, and with that comes underwater combat and even a brand new transformation into a sea serpent. With this shift comes new abilities and mechanics. Bayonetta 2 doubles down on the crazy though, as not only are you killing angels, executing combos and torture attacks, but you are now also fighting infernal demons as well. Many elements return, such as Angels, Demonic summons, and characters such as Rodin and Luka. The story has influences of Norse Mythology, breaking away in places from some of the Judeo-Christian mythos from the first game. This sets the stage for Bayonetta to go to the mountain of Fimbulventr, where the gates to hell are rumored to reside. ![]()
