Bullet Witch

It has its kinks, but it's not terrible...

The Good
The opening of the game does a good job of showing the gravity of the game world's situation. Enemies are mostly creative, and one even took this survival horror fan by complete surprise. Bosses are gargantuan...literally; however the spells are just as potent, and give a sense of awe when they rain down (or launch up) your foes. The main character's back story was an interesting one, and it made it hard not to feel a touch of sympathy for Alicia. There were some quotable dialog moments. Upgrades give you the option to tailor your abilities to your playing style.

The Bad
There were monsters given an unfair advantage (snipers with a one-hit kill). Certain sections of the voice acting could have been a bit better. It was difficult to aim at crucial times, making some battles aggravating. Survivor/companion AI occasionally made it difficult to keep them alive, and enemies could sometimes be a little slow on the uptake.

The Bottom Line
Bullet Witch is an action game based on the premise that demons invaded the world and destroyed most of the population. The main character is a witch with a "gun rod" (gun that resembles a broom) who has to use it and her magic to stop the demons from destroying the rest of humanity. Not bad, but could be better.
