"Witches don't need... *three second pause* ...prayers."
Bullet Witch is a 2007 third person shooter made by Cavia on the Xbox 360 and PC. Taking place in a Crapsack World, you play as Alicia Claus as she kills demons and... well, that's pretty much it. There was something about some guy who killed himself and summoned the demons, but let's face it: no one really cared about that.
The game's highlight was that you played as a gun-wielding witch who could use various spells, like lighting, tornadoes, and meteors. Also, your gun could transform into various different weapons. The game fared poorly in markets and only average in reviews. Problems included awful AI and bad level layout, but the fast action and ultra spells got praise.
Not to be confused with Bayonetta. Or Marisa Kirisame.
This video game features the following tropes
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The final boss, and the giant geists.
- Awesome but Impractical: Pretty much any ultra spell besides Lighting. Tornado looks cool, but kills little. Meteor is actually more likely to kill yourself.
- Bare Your Midriff: Alicia
- BFG: Alicia's gun, which is suppose to look like a broomstick, and can transform into either a machine gun, a sniper rifle, a shotgun or a gatling gun
- Black Magician Girl: Alicia
- Blow You Away: Alicia's Tornado spell.
- Bottomless Magazines: Justified, as her ammo is created through the use of magic.
- "Broom" Stick: Her witches' broom can morph into all sort of awesome guns!
- Celibate Heroine: Alicia
- Crapsack World: The world was hit by earthquakes, wars, plague... and now demons. It's a pretty crappy place to live.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Despite being a witch, Alicia is a good girl.
- Deal with the Devil: How the demon invasion started
- Also, implied how Alicia got her powers.
- Death From Above: Alicia's ultimate spell, Meteor.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Alicia
- Elemental Powers: Alicia can imbue her ammunition with elemental properties, and can learn spells which control the elements.
- Gatling Good: One of Alicia's most powerful guns.
- Hot Witch: Alicia, of course.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Alicia's Rose Spear spell summons a dozen spears that burst out of the ground, impaling everything in the area of effect.
- Results in High-Pressure Blood and then subsequently a blaze of death.
- Lady of War: Alicia's personality has elements of this.
- La Résistance: Maxwell Cougar is the leader of the resistance, and you fight along side many of the members in it.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: The guy who throws himself into the pit and summons the demons is Alicia's father.
- Made of Explodium: Shoot any vehicle enough and it will explode. Doesn't matter where you shoot it, either. Shoot the windshield? BOOM.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: Alicia slowly gets her ultimate spells from Darkness.
- One-Hit Kill: The result of flinging any physic-affected object into yourself. Usual result of casting meteor, as it tends to fling things every which way.
- Shock and Awe: Alicia's Lightning spell.
- Suck My Rose: Alicia's Rose Spikes spell summons a line of razor sharp blades shaped like roses to impale her foes.
- Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Alicia
- Walking Techbane: Alicia, specifically for aircraft—any aircraft she's on will crash for one reason or another. It's so universal that Darkness orders her not to board a helicopter during the ending.
- It's funny untill you consider how all this started.
- What Could Have Been: When you look at what Bayonetta did in terms of gameplay and level design, if only Cavia put that kind of effort into this. Coupled with the pretty amazing story Bullet Witch had...
