Bayonetta 2 is the sequel to Bayonetta . You play as Bayonetta, an Umbran Witch who is out to rescue her friend Jeanne from the depths of Inferno. The game is set a few months after the events of the first game. Along the way she has to battle a host of angels and demons who are out to stop her.
The gameplay in Bayonetta 2 is an action-packed 3rd-person experience, similar to games like Devil May Cry or God of War . You'll fight multiple enemies and combine different moves based on melee combat and gunplay. The game's core mechanic is Witch Time, which slows down time when you dodge attacks at the last second, allowing you to retaliate.
In addition to combat, you'll also need to solve environmental puzzles by using Witch Time. You can earn extra points by trapping enemies in infernal devices through torture attacks. Bayonetta's weapons can be customized with both hands and feet, and a new gameplay element called Umbran Climax provides health and enhances damage and radius when activated.
