Bullet Witch

Bullet Witch (バレットウィッチ, Hepburn: Baretto Uicchi) is a 2006 third-person shooter video game developed by Cavia and published by AQ Interactive in Japan, and Atari worldwide. It was originally released exclusively for the Xbox 360 in 2006, but was later ported to Microsoft Windows in 2018 by Marvelous and XSeed Games.

Plot
Set on a post-apocalyptic Earth, the story follows a witch named Alicia Claus, a woman in black, with a long gun like a witch's broom and 0the magical powers hunts a powerful demon with the help of a resistance group.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Executive meddling: The game was originally going to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive and was to be a much bigger title, such being able to explore the locations previously visited with no loading screens, but because of the limited hardware, they had to be cut down significantly.
 * 2) The graphics and environments look lackluster for 2006 standards, with textures that look flat, environments that look like a wasteland, various pop-in with cars and enemies coming out of nowhere, and lighting effects that flicker all over the place.
 * 3) Difficulty By Region: Reportedly, Alice's weapon was nerfed outside of the Japanese version, dealing less damage.
 * 4) Alicia is a very dull protagonist whose backstory is barely told.
 * 5) Very boring story that fails to keep the players captivated.
 * 6) Despite having only a few main characters, the voice acting and dialogue still manages to be terrible.
 * 7) The Town and Cities are extremely bland and empty.
 * 8) Navigation is a pain since there's no map or indication on where you're going.
 * 9) Bullet Sponge: enemies will take forever to kill as if they have layers upon layers of body armor worn.
 * 10) Really stupid AI as enemies will just stand there and wait for you to shoot at them. Even your allies randomly run into your line of fire.
 * 11) It's user interface is clunky, especially for the weapon wheel.
 * 12) Reloading your weapon cost points meaning when you run out, you're no longer able to reload.
 * 13) Casting spells is needlessly complex as you have to press the LB three times, press A, move RS to find the target and then press RT.
 * 14) The aforementioned spell casting also causes the framerate to drop drastically.
 * 15) Stage 5 has enemy snipers that can easily kill you even when dodging.
 * 16) The boss fights are mediocre as they take so long to defeat. The final boss is easily the worst enemy in the entire game as it's a complete bullet sponge fest. It literally takes 10-20 minutes to kill it!
 * 17) Very short campaign that can be beaten in around 5 hours.
 * 18) Zero replay value.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The soundtrack is pretty good.
 * 2) The character designs are awesome, especially Alicia's design.
 * 3) Some of the spells are cool.
 * 4) The destructive environments look quite impressive.
 * 5) Decent box-art design.
