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Scarborough Fair guns have been traded in for a set called Love is Blue, while weapons like Shuraba and Kulshedra have been replaced by improved versions.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.
