Asura's Wrath (PS3/360)

**6souls** · 2012-01-06 21:42

Asura was once a revered general of the Gods who defeated an enemy known as the Gohma. Returning from the war, Asura was summoned to the Emperor's throne. But to his horror, Asura finds the Emperor has been murdered and he has been accused of the crime. After escaping imperial forces, Asura rushes home to protect his family only to find his beloved Durga dead and Mithra kidnapped. In his rage, Asura pursues his former allies who have Mithra contained in a glass capsule. As Asura charges to save his child, Asura is repulsed by the God Deus, who reveals himself to be the Emperor's murderer so he can bring about what he calls "The Great Rebirth". Weakened by Deus' attacks, Asura is dropped over the edge of the platform and falls to Earth while swearing to exact his vengeance.

Twelve millenia later, Asura is awakened from hibernation by the prayers of a young girl in the mountains. After saving the girl from a pack of ape-like creatures, Asura ventures through the world battling the forces of the Gods as he fights to save Mithra from Deus and the Seven Deities, his former allies who now rule Heaven and have been using Mithra's powers to amplify their own. Along his journey, Asura will combat Heaven's soldiers, ferocious wild life, giant battleships, and other powerful foes. It is by that time as Asura's former friend Yasha begins to see the injustice in Deus's ways and attempts to stop the Seven Deities' cause.

According to the game's producer Kasuhiro Tsuyachiya, "Asura's Wrath takes elements from Asian mythology and blends them with science fiction. In the game, Asura is a demigod fighting to reclaim his daughter from the deities who kidnapped her and banished him from earth."

Went to a panel at Comic Con NY and watched my cousins play.

Its JP God of War (event button taps), it is beautiful to look at, and the story is somewhat original (they used certain things from religions).

They models look updated though, the main character didnt have corneas before it was clear demon like eyes. ANAMAY!!!

I've been pretty hyped for this. The story/art/graphics all look good. I just hope the combat has depth to it.

PS3 also got the demo today.

**Tyrath** · 2012-01-10 20:49

Playing the demo right now. Seems fun but man they sure love their quicktime events. Also it seems to be over the top like Bayonetta but with a more serious tone :<

Edit: Now that I've finished the demo, I'm just gonna reiterate: theres far too many quicktime events in this. Otherwise it could be really good

**Takiwaki** · 2012-01-10 23:57

Lets hope the demo was just a showcase. cus most of it was basically quicktime events and cut scenes.

**Cantih** · 2012-01-11 06:26

I'm assuming that's what the whole game is like, QTE bossfights back to back to back, with cutscenes to rest your fingers.

On one hand, disappointing compared to the hype. On the other hand, think of it as a modern Space Ace/Dragon's Lair kinda game.
Not the game you were expecting, but not bad for what it is.

The fuck did I just watch?

**Nullibicity** · 2012-01-26 11:04

wtf lolol

Press X to splash!

*presses X four times in a row*

Tame compared to God of War's 'special quicktime events,' though.

**Kurokikaze** · 2012-01-26 15:11

Played the demo on PS3 and hated it. I doubt full game will change my opinion much. Disappointing really.

**Elcura** · 2012-01-26 15:13

I thought the Buddha bit sucked balls. But I liked the Argus fight. The actual game play isn't horrible though it's definitely no Bayonetta/DMC and it is very forgiving.

I actually enjoyed the QTEs. Can't tell you why, but it was pretty fun. Definitely not a game I see myself buying, but I would like to play it through at least once.

**Souj** · 2012-01-26 15:22

Yeah, the QTEs on the demo were great I thought. It was all the other parts that sucked vast quantities of ass.

**Caiyuo** · 2012-01-26 15:31

Sucks, I was really excited about this when the very first trailer came out awhile back

What other parts?

**SephYuyX** · 2012-01-27 23:10

Id forgotten about this game.

It looks like it could be so good.. but if there really is that many QTEs.. Ill wait.

**Jaxzer** · 2012-01-30 21:35

Just played the demo, the entire fucking game seems to be QTEs.
