    it is extremely funny to me whenever someone who likes collecting xbox 360 games stumbles upon this one, buys it and then plays it. bullet witch is the kind of masterpiece that filters scum video game 'collectors' from human beings who enjoy just an incredibly well put together experience, now at last available on the personal computer. from the mastermind who brought us re deadaim, welcome to bullet witch

    If you're looking for some fun-ish PS2 jank, give it a try. Keep in mind: - Lower the music volume to half on the main menu, as mixing is terrible and will drown out the VA. - If you lower the music volume during gameplay the music will stop. - Beware of physics objects as they'll one-shot you. - You can do a dash by pressing LS on the spell wheel. - Checkpoints are only for continues after death.

    The year is 2007. It's Christmas. Your unwrap your gift that your grandma brought you. You see the Xbox 360 logo and get excited. After unwraping more of it, you see that it's not CoD4 but instead the game the store clerk sold her to get rid of it. It's Bullet Witch. You'll be stuck with it for the next 6 months because you're a teenager and you have no cash. Kinda nostalgic in that way.

    Bullet Witch is a terrible game and I love it. It's janky, it's repetitive, the mission design is terrible, it barely delivers on the core fantasy, it's frustrating on higher difficulties, and it's (gracefully) very short. Why, then, would I recommend this game? Because sometimes it still delivers exactly what you showed up for. You play a witch with a transforming gun staff that's as big as she is, you mow down the hordes of evil with a mixture of sheer firepower and magic spells, some of…

    The game overall is kinda fun, despite being kinda barebones, kinda janky, kinda easy and kinda short. But the PORTING... The porting deserves a spot in the hall of shame. The game doesn't even launch on win 10/11 out of the box: you have to mess with the admin priviledges and compatibility modes (win xp sp3) just to get it to work. I believe this has to do with the fact that the game saves progress in the Windows' Program Files folder, which itself requires admin priviledges to write (wild…

    This game is really stupid and I love it for it. I like this kind of fun and janky ♥♥♥♥ to death. Cavia had lots of great people working there. And the concept of Bullet Witch isn't bad and was inspired by Kurohime series. But I honestly cannot recommend this game. Also purchase from sale if you must. The main issue everything comes down to is that this game lacks polish. Everything is just "kind of there" and probably needed some time to cook. My initial impressions of the gameplay is that…

    There is a world where this game is good, and I wished I lived in it. I can imagine a timeline where this is a fun character action game with a unique twist of playing more like a run and gun shooter that happens to include magic because our heroine is a witch. But this is the bad timeline of course, so Bullet Witch is nothing like what it could be. The combat is very boring due to a lack of feedback, weak sound effects and lackluster enemy reactions, alongside a very small roster of which…

    Not for that price. It's janky and kind of bad, but in a charming way, like Onechanbara, or even EDF. Bullet Witch is so short and straightforward, that I beat it on easy, normal, and hard in 8 hours. The least earned achievement, even less owned than the "beat the game on 'hell' difficulty" achievement, is an achievement earned by just playing the game for a measly 15 hours, so that should tell you everything you need to know. If it goes on sale, go for it, it's silly and fun. Don't expect…

    I still have the physical 360 copy of this game, but being able to play Bullet Witch on Steam was a blast from the past that I needed. This is purely a video game, not trying to be anything special or preachy at all. It is not ground breaking at all, but one area does stick out to me, which is the ability to destroy the environment. This looks amazing and is incredibly enjoyable even now. There is something about conjuring a tornado and watching it tear buildings apart and ensnaring multiple…

    It’s so ugly. I love it. Story is short and simple. No unexpected twists, noting special. It’s just there, and somehow, I don’t mind. The sound design is ok. Locations are big and empty, but at the same time “warm” and comfortable. Maybe it’s just nostalgia. In terms of gameplay, it’s just a very basic third person shooter with magic. So, basically, there is almost nothing here to like, but I really enjoyed playing it, and I think that score this low on the steam page just is not fair. Maybe…

    After 5 hours of pure fun and entertainment, I can confidently say that Bullet Witch is a delightful experience! The game embraces its silliness and never takes itself too seriously, which adds to the charm. Alicia, the kick-ass protagonist, delivers some wonderfully cheesy one-liners that keep the mood light and did indeed make me laugh. While the story serves mainly as a vehicle to move Alicia from point A to B, it’s still engaging/silly enough. The technical performance is absolutely…

    Absolute kusoge. Don't let anyone trick you into thinking there's some hidden gem here. Slow and clunky gameplay taking you through soulless and empty environments. The control scheme is totally alien and wastes buttons. There are insane load times for how much nothing is happening. Disgraceful port of a game that should have been left in the dustbin of history.

    I knew going in that this wouldn't be a life changing game, but it was w hole lot better than I expected. The story is that of an 80's B movie which I actually liked. The thing that was confusing was where to go at times but it was not game breaking. The gameplay was ok despite it being an older game that was ported less than a decade ago to PC. Overall I think that I'll be replaying this game again. And if there was a sequel that had the same tone I would buy it.

    Why does this game exist? It's a bizarre experience. The janky graphics and physics, the barebones story, the big and uncanny levels... Playing this game will make you question your life decisions. But there's some faint echo of enjoyment to be had, mixed with tedium and suffering. Play this game only if you like to suffer.

    This game is the best kind of Japanese jankiness, despite its rough exterior its a great game to play for its sub 4-hour playtime. Physics can be funny but they'll essentially one shot you if you get hit with an object. It has really funny dialog despite its clearly a roughly translated script, despite that the VA's put 100% into their characters, plus it has MAXWELL COUGAR in it. So if you like to mess around with janky Japanese made games this one is definitely for you :)

    🚁If you didn't blindly buy this at full price back then, what's the point in complaining? You can see that it's going to be a hilariously awkward, yet somehow fun experience. It's short, clunky, but despite all the bugs and AI silliness, it's sometimes enjoyable to play. A time capsule, especially considering the atmosphere created by the graphics. Four guns, optional magic (some of which can kill you), and okay enemy types. The only thing it really lacks is a run button, as the locations can…

Since they wanted to make massive maps most of them are half empty and the textures are pretty low res, the last map is also recycled from another mission. Gameplay has some neat ideas like the gun types, magic is a bit hit or miss, except the big spells and the shield. But there are some stuff that doesnt feel good,…

    Bullet Witch was mediocre at best even when it was released in 2006. Even worse, its design and gameplay aged fast. Finally, the PC port had a few issues. This isn't the ambitious janky fun of the early EDF, nor is it the janky but still somehow entertaining Oneechanbara. Comparing it to another old Xbox 360 game that was more recently ported to PC, it isn't the lively and surprisingly functional Metal Wolf Chaos XD.

    Maybe hidden but not a gem. Movement speed is pretty slow, the first couple levels are big empty corridors, and the aiming just feels a little too rigid. Not a fun third person shooter and there isn't enough going on around the shooting to make it more enjoyable.
