Bullet Witch development finishes up

Atari said today development was complete on their upcoming Xbox 360 title Bullet Witch and the game was scheduled to hit retail Feb.27. Bullet Witch, developed by Cavia, "is set on a bleak planet earth in the year 2013 with human kind on the brink of extinction and hideous demons creating a tidal wave of destruction and havoc. All hope of mankind's survival rests with Alicia, a beautiful witch blessed with magical skills and a swift trigger finger. Players take control of Alicia in her heroic quest to prevent the decimation of mankind through her fearsome weaponry and spectacular powers with which she can manipulate natural phenomena in her environment.

Bullet Witch includes numerous features inspired by American horror and Japanese fantasy monsters. Combining shooting and magic, Bullet Witch will take advantage of Xbox 360's advanced physics engine by showcasing massive environmental damage, explosions and destruction. Cavia has balanced and fine tuned gameplay features and made enhancements including improved camera rotation during battle, increased shotgun power, increased Will Power, enemies made more sensitive to attacks, improved enemy AI, and more."

Following launch, players will be able to download additional Bullet Witch content via Xbox Live Marketplace, comprising five packs delivered every two weeks, each containing a new costume for Alicia and revised levels.
