The original Bayonetta was created and directed by Hideki Kamiya. The same man behind Devil May Cry, and the advent of the arcadey combo-heavy 3D action game style. So, after creating a 2D game in a similar style via Viewtiful Joe, Kamiya created what would become another beloved combo-heavy action game - Bayonetta.
Bayonetta took what Devil May Cry started, and added a stylistic new protagonist in its titular character, as well as stand out, gigantic boss fights. Her clothing is her hair, which she also uses for magic and to summon demons, and there’s overt sexual overtones throughout.
