Asura's Wrath: Good Anime, Bad Game

For those who don't know, Asura's Wrath is a game about Asura, a once revered deity who was betrayed and stripped of all of his powers by his fellow gods. Asura assures them he'll get his revenge on them and save his daughter, Mithral, from the seven deities who are trying to steal her powers. During all of this Asura learns that he can use his rage to absolutely decimate anything in his way with THE FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD. The game will combine Asian Mythology with Science Fiction and this is the main reason the gods look kind of like robots. Capcom did a splendid job in capturing the "Pissed off" look that this game has for Asura because jesus.

The gameplay is that of a beat 'em up. You fight enemies with your six fists (Asura grows two sets of arms when he fights) in an exaggerated style. You control Asura all of the time, even during cutscenes which can lead to your enemy cutting a monologue short because they're too busy eating your fist. The game also has inspirations from God of War if the pissed off God hellbent on vengeance wasn't already enough then the game uses QTEs as well during parts of the game but the game is also made by CyberConnect2 who are known for making Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm and those games not only had an amazing look but fun gameplay and boss fights. The game comes out during the first quarter of 2012 so if you're interested pick it up. Also, below is 30 minute gameplay showing at gamescom for those who want to see the gameplay extensively.



Yes, you just a sword roughly the circumference of the Earth... yes, this game was made in Japan.

Looks pretty sweet.

you best not be throwing like god hand around unless it really is.

I used God Hand comparisons because of the emphasis on fists, really.

if we want a game like god hand i'm guessing we'll just have to wait for a HD rerelease.

I haven't seen any real gameplay in any of the trailers so far, just QTE boss fights.

E3 gameplay... kind of... there is some actual fighting at the start then QTE boss.

I wan to play this game so badly

I can't imagine it would be any more fun to play that than it was to watch it. Which is a bad thing.

Yeah, I want to be excited for the game because it's very rare that you get a game using Hindu and Buddhist mythos especially a beat 'em up but the game just looks so... dull. I mean the cutting monologues short feature is kind of nice, I guess? But it doesn't really stop the game from being a giant QTE fest which even God of War really wasn't. God of War used QTEs to end the fight most of the time, not as the main gameplay feature.

I like the voice acting (Well whenever there huge fatasses talking), I like the premise, I like how fucking crazy the style seems... but it's just so boring to watch and for a game based around QTE's that's not very good.

It looks pretty boring, i agree with your first point though.

I didn't watch any of the gameplay, I just think the idea looks cool.

Finally realized where I heard the song of Asura vs Augus from.

The first level of Asura' Wrath.

Apparently the demo will be up tomorrow.

I'm glad there's a demo. The game looks pretty boring from all the videos.

Whoever thought this large asshole needed one recorded laugh is an idiot, especially since that laugh is ridiculously annoying.

Yeah, still not very enthusiastic about this game.

Still? I thought you were looking forward to it?

Literally four months ago.

Well, yeah, but what you actually type and what goes into my head aren't guaranteed to be the same. Sometimes I just profile people and make up what I think their opinions are.

what's your porfile on me?

You like asses.

well, that is very true
