Story and gameplay

The game follows Bayonetta, a sexy witch who fights the forces of Heaven. She knows only that twenty years ago she awakened in a chest at the bottom of a lake. She doesn’t remember how had she got there or what happened before. Constantly harassed by angels, she is trying to learn about her past. However, she isn’t helpless. She is very agile, she has handguns attached to her shoes and held in hands and she uses melee weapons such as a powerful samurai-sword or a long whip. She can also use weapons left by enemies and summon torture machines from hell. The latter can be used for killing enemies in very effective ways. The key to victory is skillfully using a time slowing ability called “Witch Time” that is activated by dodging an enemy's attack at right moment.
