Chapter 105 End of Prologue
[This game can be controlled by touch screen, try the control method you may be used to]

Because I am mainly engaged in self-media and game video business, now I am entering the novice tutorial.

In addition, the cutscene of Bayonetta has ended, so Chao Guoguo explained the game habitually.

"Everyone knows that in today's action games, the main feeling of hitting depends on the controller, and especially for this type of game, this may be why many players have to buy a game controller when they already have a keyboard. .”

"But I seem to remember, Ren Xiaotang didn't use the controller now, right?" At this moment, Chao Guoguo suddenly thought of something.

In the host screen, the move list of "Bayonetta" is placed on the right side, and the corresponding move positions are at the bottom of the screen. For example, the x key is for hand attacks, and a is for leg attacks.

After reading the tutorial, Chao Guoguo also exited the novice interface.

But logically speaking, after playing games for so many years, the most important thing in an ATC game like this is to remember combos.

Just like Devil May Cry, can it be fun without combos?
It's not like Wushuang, so he can just chop at will.

After exiting the tutorial, the first thing that catches the eye is the three Centaur Angels surrounding Bayonetta. Chao Guoguo operates the controller and uses a set of tiny combos.

Dodge, kick, witch time, this action is like flowing water. Because it is a one-week game, Sister Bei's abilities are initial, and there are many that can be obtained through the game plot.

However, the overall impact is very strong, and people feel an atmosphere of relaxation and joy.

"One sound, it feels really good, brothers." Chao Guoguo smiled and kept tapping the handle with his fingers.

On the game screen, Sister Bei's pistol fell to the ground, and she said with a headache: "Really, that's why I don't like to buy discounted goods."

After saying that, he walked catwalk and shook off the two guns from his feet. At this time, the camera turned and the plane passed by in the sky above.

Bayonetta was fighting the angel on the plane, and on the road, Enzo cursed and started the car: "Sure enough, getting involved with that woman won't do anything good!"

"Damn it! Why can't this car light up again?"

Just as Enzo was complaining, a passing Enzo dressed as Santa Claus stopped in front of his car: "It's time to give her weapons!"

"You, you are...?" Enzo looked at the person in front of him, who was very surprised: "Luo, Rodan! Are you kidding me!"

"Be careful, I won't be happy if the debtor dies before the debt is paid!"

Rodan appeared and threw Enzo from the driver's seat to the passenger seat. He got into the car, turned on the engine, started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed towards Sister Bei.
From the beginning of the first generation of "Battle Hunting Witch", this man named Rodin appeared on the stage. He appeared as a black bald man with a pair of sunglasses and tattoos, and Bayonetta provided her with weapons.

It is mentioned in the animation "Bayonetta" that the name Bayonetta was given by Rodan.

"Santa's stupid gift, how do you feel about using it?"

When Bayonetta received the weapon given by Rodan, the game officially began. The gorgeous gun-raising action, and this shot also made Chao Guoguo's mood instantly excited.

The most classic weapon is 4 guns, each hand and feet are equipped with 4 pistols.The attack moves include gorgeous gun fighting, physical skills, and fighting skills.Can summon monsters and props.

His manners are elegant.

Just as the audience in the live broadcast room said, as long as anyone has played Bayonetta, there is no one who has not fallen in love with Sister Bei!
At this point, the game actually begins.

In other words, you can activate the Peak of Shadow, which is the so-called Explosive Demon!As long as you press a button in the game, Sister Bei will do a backflip to dodge, and Witch Time is a system based on this.

As long as the timing of the dodge is precise and immediate enough, the witch's time will be triggered.

In Witch Time, the entire world will slow down, leaving only Sister Bei still moving at normal speed.

After the battle on the plane, there was a mid-term mini-boss battle. At this time, Chao Guoguo looked at the angel in front of him and wiped the sweat from his hands.

There are three stages, the first two of which are located on top of the train.

When the boss's blood volume is about one-third down, the first stage is over, and the boss is thrown to the rear of the car. At this time, attack his right hand to make a straight shot and then enter the second stage.

In the second stage, the boss will run with the train, so be careful to avoid the initial sweep.

The frequency of the boss's attacks at this stage has been significantly increased. There are attack methods such as jumping up and smashing the roof of the train, spitting acid, etc. After reaching a certain level, the boss will move from the right side of the train to the left side.

The plot starts when half of the blood is lost, Joan of Arc appears, and finally the two of them fight together on land against the boss with half of the blood remaining.

There is no doubt that it is not difficult to get started with ATC-type games. Even a new player who is not very good at playing games can easily get started.

However, the past two years are not without examples of games that use difficulty as a selling point to be successful. The popular Bloodborne and Dark Souls series are even successful examples.

And in terms of difficulty for beginners to get started, some Japanese action games may not be as high as the Souls series.

Every action game will have basic character performances such as attack, dodge or defense. These are basic operations that every player can do.

But his level of online play is extremely high, and the fighting sounds of ding-ding-ding and the hearty and refreshing witch time give this game a full sense of accomplishment.

It's almost unstoppable.

But what's the use?

For example, in Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, the main fun is to perform cool combos, but just clearing the level is not difficult or fun.

However, there are some moves that ordinary people cannot master even after practicing for dozens of hours. Basic combos such as ts slash and dimensional slash have been practiced for dozens of hours and the error rate is still very high. They will break after just a few hits.

The boss in the first stage only has three attack methods, namely biting, swinging claws, and spitting fireballs. The long intervals between attacks make it easy to accumulate combos and magic power, and then directly awaken to save time and effort.

But the demon beast suddenly lost control and rushed out of the magic circle again.Joan of Arc saved Sister Bei and suffered a blow from the giant beast. Her soul left her body and was dragged into hell.

So the final big boss is this out-of-control demon beast.The giant beast will continue to climb to the top of the building, and Sister Bei summons her wings to fly. The height is basically level with the boss's head, and her moves are the same as on land.

The attack method is also similar to the first stage, and after Chao Guoguo knocks out a certain amount of blood, it triggers QTE to cause higher output.

After the boss was drained of blood, the final kill occurred. Sister Bei summoned another demon to kill the boss, and finally saved Joan of Arc, but because the soul was no longer there, she became a body.

From the final plot, we learned that Sister Bei planned to go to hell to rescue Joan of Arc’s soul, so the game revolves around this story.

At the same time, a mysterious character also appeared on the angel side. Presumably, Sister Bei will fight against the angel and demon camps at the same time, and the prologue process ends here.
