From the creative minds that brought you Penny-Punching Princess and The Princess Guide comes a darkly humorous tale of redemption! When a mysterious phenomena causes spirits to become trapped within poisonous manifestations of their own personal despair, only the haughty Poisonette and her amnesaic vessel can purify them. As they venture through the various Belles’ Hells they will encounter fallen souls longing for escape, other Poisonettes with their own agendas, and twisted creatures born from the Poison Mires who threaten to stop them! What dark truths will they uncover about the venomous world around them… as well as each other? This shooter-meets-action title combines high-octane gameplay and a grim-yet-charming art style into one unforgettable adventure. Use Poisonette’s powers to purify Poison Mires while blasting away enemies as her gunslinging vessel. You can also customize your gameplay experience by choosing between a male or female vessel, unlocking weapons and enhancements with each world you purify, and increasing certain stats of Poisonette through choice-based dialogue.

A poisonous Partnership: Swap between the poison-absorbing Poisonette and her gun-wielding vessel, and combine firepower and zone control to destroy the creatures of the Poison Mires. Unlock new weapons by purifying areas, and enhance Poisonette’s stats through your dialogue choices.
Enigmatic Encounters: Uncover the mysterious circumstances that set Poisonette and her vessel on the poisonous path towards redemption. Along the way, encounter other Poisonettes, each with their own agenda, as well as fallen souls whose personal Belles’ Hell must be cleansed in order to be set free.
Corrupt and Colorful: With an art style that’s as grim as it is charming, this twisted tale practically jumps off the screen! From vivid stages to vibrant gameplay effects, this adventure is as much a visual experience as it is visceral.

A few flaws
This will be a spoiler free review. Starting with the packaging itself, the contamination edition comes with a little art book that shows the design of the characters and world. It also comes with a digital soundtrack that can be redeem online. As far as first day edition goes, this is solid but not something you would be missing out. There is no special packaging or anything that would stand out from the standard. Going into the game itself, the controls are a bit wonky. For example, too lock on to a monster, you would press B or so the game states but it would only work less than half the time or when you're a good angle to do so. This could be me but I tried multiple times but still couldn't get it to work. This is a shooter based RPG, with the shooter lacking. It has to be precise, even with one centimeter, you would not hit the monster. This is the most irritating thing about the game, with the monsters moving around, it is hard to hit them and on top of that, it has to be precise. If not, the monster ends up killing you up to three hits. Which is another thing that hurts the game, with a few hits you are already dead. There is a dodging feature in which you have to roll, but with the bad camera angle, the other monster could get you from a blind spot. The other thing is that hurts the game is the bullet system. You could get up to ten bullets to attack the monsters. Once it is gone, you are stuck either waiting or running around to pick up posion that restores health and bullets but the poison is limited. Another thing I realized that even offline, when fighting the bosses, the game lags. This shouldn't be happening, especially when it is offline. With the large boss and multiple enemies, it too much for the game to handle which causes lag. Aside from those details, the story is enough to keep you engaged. Especially when visitng each level. Some level design could get annoying due to the layout and strong colors they apply but it could be easily overlooked. My personally favorite about the game is the music. The music fits perfectly from the title screen to the levels. The soundtrack to this game hits well. Overall, this game is good but could have been better had it been better flush out. It is fun but it has it moments that due to the game features will cause irritation. I would recommend getting this game either when it is on sale or clearance.

Fun game
I'm having fun with this game its really good and I laugh at some of it moments. Honestly only get the switch version if you like to play this game on the go and don't mind the loading times.

Interesting art and ideas put together poorly
Insulting to ask for $50. Here are some of many issues. The game always struggles to load and consistently has frame rate issues. Sometimes guns just won’t shot when the frame rate drops low. Inconsistent hit detection on the bullets. Has a clunky dodge roll that makes you stay in place after. Some guns make you stand in place to shot which would be fine if they were balanced, which they are not. This is not a good game. Interesting ideas that are implemented poorly.
