Technical aspects

Bullet Witch is a third-person perspective shooter with action game features. The title originally debuted on {PLAT} and many years later it was ported to PC by Marvelous Studios.

Plot

The story told in Bullet Witch for {PLAT} starts in the year 2013, when the Earth was invaded by the hordes of hell. The humanity was desperately trying to defend the planet, but the resistance couldn’t match the demonic creatures that learned to use Earth’s technology. When all seemed lost, Alicia, a witch in black stood to defend humans. Equipped with a broom-shaped machine gun, the female protagonist declared war against the monsters and restored hope into the hearts of humans.

Mechanics

The action in the {PLAT} version of Bullet Witch is presented from a third-person perspective. During the game, Alicia is traveling through locations and exterminating demons – hordes of regular adversaries and bosses that are larger, stronger and more resistant than the protagonist.

The developers provided various weapons. The above-mentioned machine gun can take four different forms (including a rotating turret) and it can be upgraded with perks. Alicia can also use powerful combat spells. She can summon lightning, tornado, or even meteorites. It is worth adding that the witch isn’t alone and resistance members are frequently accompanying her on the battlefield.

Technical aspects

The graphics of Bullet Witch were designed by Yasushi Nirasawa, an artist that previously worked on movies like Godzilla: Final Wars, Hellboy, and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The PC version of the game includes improvements like higher resolution and better lighting system. The game also works more fluently. The developers improved gameplay balance and included all DLC content in the base game, including levels and costumes.

GameSpew: 60 / 100 by Richard Seagrave

Bullet Witch on PC is little more than it was all those years ago on Xbox 360; an adequate third person shooter with some good ideas but flawed execution.

GameGrin: 3 / 10 by Reece Armstrong

Despite a few neat gameplay touches Bullet Witch ultimately fails to impress and this remaster only goes to show that this game should have stayed in the past. What could have been an interesting third-person shooter is let down at almost every point by frustrating game design and bland level design.

Worth Playing: 4.5 / 10 by Cody Medellin

Perhaps the reason for the existence of Bullet Witch on Steam is for the sake of preservation. Unless you still have your Xbox 360 hooked up and a disc copy of the game — or Microsoft makes this backward compatible on the Xbox One — there's no other way to play the title on modern hardware. With that being said, the unpolished gameplay and bare-bones presentation do the game no favors in this day and age, and the general failure to launch issues cast Bullet Witch in a more negative light. Unless you have a strong sense of nostalgia, there's not much of a reason to pick up Bullet Witch.
