That's not right!
Was the witch who was talking to Faust wearing a too-tight corset with zippers directly over the nipples? I've seen plenty of bad clothing design in games, but zipples might be the worst. The execution on that boss ruled, though.

The game gives me Bayonetta vibes, if Bayonetta was a drab-colored escort quest of a game. But between all the witches, the flashy viney spells, and that execution kill, definitely comes to mind.

I thought the same myself. Seems like it has a welcome top note of Bayonetta, but built on a base of that lovely Dante's Inferno game, which just got that "God of War but with a scythe" gameplay and objectification of women all over everything (Bayonetta also objectifies women, but in a cool, self-aware way).

Most damning of all is that Knight's Contract came out in 2011. I thought '07 or '08 for sure from how rudimentary and dull everything is, like this might have been a stepping stone for better action games of the generation. But no, it's just miles behind the games it's derivative of. This sort of sloppy design and reliance on a bad gimmick is totally my kind of poo poo, though.
