This game brings you to 2013 whereby mankind is facing extinction after demons begin surfacing on the earth. And yes, u guess it right Alicia, the so-called Bullet Witch come and saves the day.

Anybody already got this game since it is first release in Asian version.

Already release? IINM Japanese release date is 27th July, and Asian version is 31st July.

Anybody know if the Asia version will be in English? Singapore Xbox's website doesn't have Bullet Witch in their "Upcoming Game" list, so I guess Asia won't be in English.

Anybody can confirm what language Asia version would be?

Forgive me for being ignorant, is there any asian games that is not in Englsih? I mean the text and everything. FMV sequences is okay, since most of the Japanese speaking FMV has subtitles.

Yes, there are. Everyparty (Asia version) is in Chinese, Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Special(Asia version) is in Japanese.

At least, that what Play-Asia said.

PA got bulletwitch asian version... that means rm147 something

Yah, but still don't know what language it'll be. At Play-Asia, they leave the "Game Language" section blank.

hehehe i must finish my lotr2 then only can buy new game so many cun games releasing now... pokai loh.

every party asian version is in english and chinese

just because it says chinese doesnt mean it doesnt have english language. All asian version games (including Everyparty) has english support, and IINM most asian version games also has chinese support, at least in menus and subtitles. but why dont p-a mention 'chinese' on the other titles?

correct me if im wrong but i think the games that they specifically tagged 'chinese' has spoken chinese dialogues/videos or something. notice that there's 2 version of Burnout Revenge (Asia) in p-a.

and what's with this lady with a broom shaped gun? hope the gameplay is good

any1 gonna buy this game thru PA?can tumpang?lol

i hope a demo fr this game comes out on xboxlive marketplace so we can test the
gameplay...ive only had my 360 fr nearly 2 months now..and already it has saved me RM150++ on chromehounds(now dnt flame me coz im not saying CH is bad its just not my "cup of tea")hehehe

aaa. thanks for the clarification. I wonder la what will happen kalau takde english support. Takkan nak kena belajar bahasa jepun macam hard core gamers zaman SNES dulu main RPG FF series.

I just watched the latest gameplay trailer and found out that it takes up to 5 button presses to cast a spell, and in the trailer, Alicia (the main character) is casting a Thunder spell on a tank.

While she's casting the spell, the tank shoots at her, and bring her health from full to about 1/8. So, while you're casting a spell, you're not invincible, and you can't evade any attack. It's kind of silly since the only way to defeat the tank is to cast thunder spell, and if you cast the spell, you're vulnerable to enemy's attack.

The game's coming out on Friday.. Can't wait.. But quite expensive compared to other Asia games.. Getting it from Andy TNL

Watched the trailer as well. Can't say im impressed with it. I might get Senko No Ronde Rev X instead of this, although I suck in shooters

According to this page, Bullet Witch (Japanese) does have English Language support. I think Asian version will have English support too.

About the game, the only thing I like about the game is ..... the theme song. Maybe I'll buy the game when I ran out of good games to play.

The Vanishing Sky!

Great game!!! no LIVE?

DUN GET IT...

if u dont read kanji and u dont bla bla bla in jap


really dissapointed.. .. before that i know there's no english sub for sure,

it doesn't have chinese sub either. all jap..

for what they come out with an asian game wif all jap everything jap and only manual half chinese..

if its really Atari distribute the asian version

and lets pray next year NTSC / UC version will be region free

PS: if any 1 knows how to change it to chinese subtitle ... let me know

so confirm this game no english sub??
aiyak... no games to play rite now..

wei mr toron go buy dead rising lorrrr

Actually this game is need a cup of tea time to taste it........then u will be feel better.Some taiwan gamers declared this is a good game,but firstly u have to use some time to play.

well,where can i buy this game in sungei wang plaza??thks

thats y i hope that the ntsc/uc version will be free region. .. its not worth to get the asian version in my opinion.. we dun understand any kanji . we dun understand any bla bla in jap too.

hm, bullet witch NTSC/J Asian (Japanese) is on discount at P-A. roughly RM100 with paypal. too bad, no Eng support.

in other news, lik-sang offering free shipping. (competition fr P-A & YesA? ) can check out their 360 NTSC/J Asian games catalog

really no english support. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. just bought the game for RM140. waaaaaaa

where did u buy from? it was up for 28.90 on PA last week

i think this game is quite good, but the fact that the game doen't have english subs is a turn a down. Same goes to Project Sylpheed (i really want to play this game too).

To japanese developer, why?? why??

This post has been edited by squiggles: Oct 18 2006, 03:27 PM

Umm.....because it was made for the Japanese public??

yea i know that, i was just wondering why can't they add english subs like what they did for N3. nvmind.

the truly weird part is that NTSC/J Asian (Japanese) was published by Atari
the same Atari that have the resources to translate NTSC/J Asian Test Drive Unlimited (Chinese)

should follow Enchant Arms example - NTSC/J Asian (Eng|JP) published by From Software themselves (who did the translation in-house or sub-con, i dunno ? )

It says that the US version will be tweaked . Hopefully some of the major flaw will be ironed out . Our only hope for the game is US version to be region free ? Will there be any new Asian version /w English support after that ?

how to go to japanese marketplace? Can anyone tell me?

make an account wit japan address? haha..

according to P-A, the NTSC (US version) is playable on NSTC-J sets. not sure what exact tweaks/changes were implemented over the initial version.

on another note:

http://blogs.ign.com/Jess-IGN/2007/02/27/48001/

the cosplay is missing the gunrod replica, i think. mb should have used a broom as substitute?

so guys
how many people had a copy of this game
shared2 ur experiance with me
i'm still not have time to take my copy at GH

Going to check out the game this coming wekeend... I've read today's NST Paper that it's a good zombie shooting/sorcery game...

Heard this game and graphic is sucks. Even the score is below 5 in most game review site..first im planned to buy it. But then tak jadi.

X-play fans, here's the OFFICIAL X-Play review of Bullet Witch read it or atleast see the video on the stated original link at the bottom before buying, i apologize if the reply is too long:

Random thought: what else rhymes with witch? (Think about the title...think alliteratively...) Yep, kind of like Electronic Arts's SSX, which of course is nothing more than an acronym for "Super Snowboarding Extreme." Uh-huh.

Bullet Witch ReviewWhatever the case, Bullet Witch, which arrives unheralded and thus hype-free, turns in a frenetic, pseudo-horrific action ordeal composed of lengthy, disappointingly dull stretches of run-and-gunnery punctuated by visually astonishing sequences that almost rate it worth a buy, if not at least a rental. It's a solo third-person shooter which casts you as Alicia, a young witch slinging a rather cool-looking "Gun Rod" broomstick and draped in the usual highly impractical but hello-sexy neo-Victorian lace and leathers. Your goal? Gun through demon throngs, heal wounded civilians, snipe levitating brains to unlock mazy levels, and make some really big, spectacularly intricate constructions go kaboom.

Alas, poor Alicia, we hardly knew ya. Despite a few oblique flashbacks, all we ever learn of Alicia's background over the course of Bullet Witch's six fleeting stages is that she's a sulky sorceress with a soft spot for humanity. So much for character development. The story's a smidgen better: Between 2007 and 2013 the world's gone to hell courtesy earthquakes, global warfare, viruses, climate change, and for the coup de grace, demon-spawn. (Hey Al Gore, how'd you miss that?) It seems some melodramatic fellow's gone and suicided in the maw of a gaping hole that's like Return of the Jedi's Sarlacc Pit with plus-size fangs. Huh? But a hole in the middle of--right, just go with it.

So demons. In fact, sinewy smack-talking cadavers that quip "What an idiot!" or "I think you may have wet your pants!" among themselves and sound like Evil Dead's "deadites" or muppets (or both). The bulk of these guys line long, urban streets or shuffles aimlessly along wilderness trails, waiting patiently for you to trip their "go" triggers and cue what amounts to straight-on, tactically feckless gunfights in which an overflow of bullets (your ammo never runs out, it just reloads out of your generous mana pool) consistently trumps careful planning. That's more or less the whole of Bullet Witch--one long, linear monster mow-down through unmemorable interiors and outdoor vistas.

If the game has an upside, it's the relationship between your weapons and the highly destructible environments themselves. Bullet Witch employs an elementary character customization tool that lets you level up weapons and abilities as you progress in accordance with skills points that tally based on each stage's performance. In an intermediary screen you can purchase and enhance new guns (the shotgun, cannon, and gatling), boost your health and magic stats, or pimp your witchy hoodoo with new spells. Those spells are arguably one of just two reasons to play Bullet Witch.

Bullet Witch ReviewTake the spell "Rose Spear," for instance. Toss a reddish grenade over barriers or behind entrenched enemy points and a multitude of spears erupts from the ground, impaling your foes, then causing them to burst into flames. Or try "Raven's Panic," which summons a flock of ravens to confound your foes and make them easy pickings for cannon snipes or gatling gun hose-downs. Best of all are your elemental powers which offer limited control of full-scale weather events. Armored squadron got you hunkered? Summon lightning to call down an ID4-style power bolt and pops the lid on a tank like a soda can. The best moments of the game in fact occur in the fourth level when--as demons are rappelling out of helicopters to blitz you--you're granted the power to summon full-scale tornadoes. Not only do these wind shear juggernauts suck those helis from the sky, they literally gobble up everything in sight, snapping buildings, fences, and vehicles apart to form a swirling vortex of debris that falls just as it rises in scattershot piles of gorgeous junk.

The other spot Bullet Witch briefly rises above itself is its homage to crazy side-scroller boss and mini-boss battles. Early on, for instance, you'll encounter screen-convulsing creatures called "gigas" that reach five or six stories high. They're easy to kill, but "holy eye candy!" anyway. Scattered around levels you'll also bump into "walnut heads"--floating humans with grotesquely enlarged and externalized brains capable of telekinetically sucking cars, trucks, and anything else nearby into the air before hurling them back to earth in your general direction (you have to kill these brains to drop force barriers impeding your progress). At one point you'll even perch on the spine of a cloud-borne jumbo jet, dodging between wings and casting spells as a gigantic swooping whatchamacallit ejects freakish metal-chewing eyeballs and intermittently tries to bite the plane in half.

It's just too bad, then, that these moments comprise a tiny fraction of the overall game itself. Most of the time you're either shooting extraordinarily stupid bad guys, or pulling the left trigger and thumbstick to execute lithe if tactically vapid jumps and flips. It stinks that you can't shoot or reload while jumping, by the way, something which put me off bothering with jumping at all--just give us a shield and call it a wash already, since jumping is otherwise irrelevant. The camera interface may put a few people off as well, locked as it is up close behind Alicia but also curiously slung at hip instead of shoulder level. Even if you get over the awkwardness of the angle, the camera's inflexibility leads to Alicia's acrobatics muddling your view of the action. Enjoy taking unseen rocket blasts to the head or pirouetting into devastating tank-mounted MG fire? Get used to it if you're a jumper.

The magic interface could use an overhaul as well. Instead of mapping spells to buttons, you're forced to riffle through sequential "magic rings" that blot out the screen when you tap the left or right shoulder buttons. Worse, they're layers deep, so you'll need to click each two or three times to access your other spells. When you die for the dozenth time while shuffling for this or that power, you'll want to kick the entertainment center or toss your controller. I did (both).

All that, and we're talking under a dozen hours to finish, tops. No multiplayer, a few lackluster achievements--it's hard to recommend this one despite its considerable if occasional virtues. Again, if you don't mind repetitive drives through unimpressive arrow-straight zones with tweedle-dumb enemies just to experience some spectacular-looking boss battles and desecrate a few super-malleable environments, Bullet Witch probably won't disappoint. The questions is, are you hard-up enough to risk it?
