Top comment"A laid back story from the Bayonetta universe. Great visual presentation but the controls do take a minute to adjust to when controlling 2 individual characters at the same time....Game review...Very good good loving it so far Highly recommended!"
See all customer reviewsSee all Nintendo Switch GamesProduct Description
Once upon a time, there was a young witch named Cereza… Long before this trainee of the dark arts would come to be called Bayonetta, she took a fateful journey into the forbidden Avalon Forest. Alongside her was Cheshire, her very first demon, possessing Cereza’s stuffed toy. Play as both Cereza and Cheshire and search through the treacherous forest to look for the power to save Cereza’s mother. Any good story has a lesson about teamwork, no? In this tale, Cereza and Cheshire coordinate their efforts to fight faeries and solve puzzles. Use the left Joy-Con controller to move Cereza and bind enemies with her magic. With the right Joy-Con controller, move Cheshire to slash and chomp foes. Avalon Forest is just as beautiful as it is beastly. Each new area looks like it has been painted carefully by hand. Fully narrated story scenes are told through the vibrantly illustrated pages of a storybook.Top comment"A laid back story from the Bayonetta universe.
