Decent demo.
Good action and I like the style and effects - but miss a jump button and am puzzled by the seemingly useless melee if it drains your power completely.
Bigger But (for me)... story and characters seem lame to me. I hate the whole US/Russia angle. The damn thing looks so SF anyway they should simply go the fantasy route and invent two futuristic factions instead. Also, a cute long legged female and a scarred veteran? I can't take that kind of cliche that well anymore.
Weapons in demo seemed a bit boring but hints in tutorial of more interesting stuff.
Conlcusion, could be good but I'm concerned that it'll be a little slight as an overall game. Although, I tend to find DMC and titles like Bayonetta slight too, so if you like those you might want to take my view in this area as out of alignment from a personal taste perspective.
I did like the 'have a quick smoke' gimmick though, that was kind of amusingly over the top.
So, not bad but not great for me. Will await reviews and more detail.

Did you also look for a story in bayonetta? it's just filler. And i agree with the melee draing power competely but im guessing you'll get upgrades and such.

Nope, but by definition it was a bit more original than this setup (although I still found it a bit bland). I mean, US vs Russia. Enough already. This old cliche died for me when Roger Moore was still Bond disarming nuclear bombs planted by rogue Russian Generals dressed as a clown!
I've played it a few more times and found that the less I play it like a cover shooter the better it is, so its growing on me. But the one hit melee, at least based on the demo, isn't feeling balanced for me even after a few play throughs.
