Like any hero in a beat 'em up game, Bayonetta builds up energy by pummeling her foes and then uses it to perform special moves. However, her special moves aren't quite like anything you've seen before.

After building up her magic bar with successful combos, she can unleash a "Torture Move." She summons a torture device and then uses it to finish off her opponent. An iron maiden and guillotine are among the devices she conjures in the trailer below.

Bayonetta was released in Japan last week. It will arrive in the U.S. and Europe in the first week of January.
