Bayonetta Origins Cereza And The Lost Demon gets a demo ahead of it's March release so today, we're taking a look and giving our first impressions! Should this be a day one add to your library or does this miss the mark? Let's find out!
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.
Cereza This lonely young girl was born from a bond between the Lumen Sages of light and the Umbra Witches of dark. As relations between these two clans are strictly forbidden, Cereza has been labelled an outcast. Her greatest wish is to become strong enough to one day help her imprisoned mother, Rosa.
Cheshire A demon summoned by Cereza on the night of a full moon who somehow found himself channeled into her stuffed toy. Reluctantly, he agrees to accompany her until they find a way to send him back to Inferno.
Smartly balance Cereza’s and Cheshire’s individual strengths to solve puzzles and create safe passage through this enchanted world.
Magical might Cereza’s Witch Pulse can transform the environment, and her magic also has the power to dispel devious illusions. She can walk through the patches of rosemary that Cheshire cannot.
Cut through clutter Cheshire’s sharp claws excel at cutting through the rough of the forest to create pathways.
Hug Mode Cheshire can safely retreat into the cuddly doll hosting him. Cereza can then carry, extend, and toss Cheshire in this form—helpful for reaching spaces the unleashed Cheshire might not otherwise be able to.
While Cereza has a few spells up her sleeve and Cheshire has sharp claws, the two will need to combine forces if they are to defeat the dangers lurking in Avalon Forest.
