Product Description

Product Description

With unprecedented levels of dynamism, drama and interaction, Asura's Wrath will deliver a fresh take on the action gaming genre. Once a revered deity, Asura was betrayed by his fellow gods and stripped of all his powers. Consumed by anger at the injustice he has suffered and swearing vengeance, Asura discovers he can use this fury to his advantage and turn it against his enemies. Cue relentless action as Asura finds himself facing off against numerous unique enemies, including planetary sized bosses, unleashing devastating and visceral attacks. Asura's Wrath loses the traditional distinction between gameplay and cutscenes through seamless player controlled narrative. Simply put, even in cinematic sequences the player can control Asura, directly affecting the gameplay, making Asura's Wrath a truly unique experience.

Asura's Wrath is an Action game in which players take on the role of the demigod Asura, and take on his quest for justice and revenge against the divine powers that cast him from heaven. The game utilizes a "Beat-em Up" gameplay mechanic and an episodic narrative storyline rooted in Asian mythology and sci-fi traditions. Additional features include: a range of unique enemies, planetary sized bosses, a second playable character and a devastating attack system.



Story

Long ago in the realm of Shinkoku, eight deities known as "The Eight Guardian Generals" battled to protect civilization from a destructive force known only as Gohma. Asura was one of the most prominent of this group. During the victory celebration, the Emperor of Shinkoku was assassinated in a sinister plot and the blame was placed on Asura. In the middle of the commotion, Asura's wife was also murdered and his daughter kidnapped. With even his brother-in-law and rival Yasha turning against him, Asura was banished from Shinkoku. Awoken by a voice after 12,000 years, Asura vows revenge on all those who have betrayed him.

5.0 out of 5 stars An experience that puts story and spectacle ahead of all else
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2013
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
The only other product out there that I can reasonably compare to Asura's Wrath would be Telltale's excellent  The Walking Dead . Both Asura's Wrath and The Walking Dead tread the line that marks what can be classified as a "video game". By making gameplay a far smaller priority than the games' main goal of telling a story, these games would be much more suited to be labeled as Interactive Digital Stories as opposed to games. But the similarities end there. Asura's Wrath is a very, very different experience than The Walking Dead is. And it's also one of the most surprising, original, and amazing games to come out of the PS360 generation.

Taking heavy queues from Japanese mythology, Asura's Wrath puts you in the shoes of Asura, one of 8 Guardian Generals - ancient demigods who protect the world from an evil entity known as the Gohma. The Gohma manifests itself as horrific monsters, often resembling animals, who terrorize the human tribes of the world. Early in the game, Asura is betrayed by his fellow Guardian Generals, his wife murdered, and his powerful priestess daughter abducted to be used as a tool to fight the Gohma. The game tells the story of Asura seeking revenge against the Generals who betrayed him, using his incredible powers which are channeled through his wrath. The story is told in an episodic nature that closely resembles episodes of anime, and also has heavy doses of hardcore science fiction as well. Japanese mythology, anime, science fiction - it's a heady mix, to be sure, but what is amazing is how well it all comes together, and how it is all incredibly brought to life by CyberConnect2 (of the .hack series) and Capcom.

Gamers who are considering buying this game should be well aware that a large chunk of their time spent with the game will not involve much gameplay. Yes, there are very decent melee combat sections, mostly consisting of Asura fighting the Gohma, and also a handful of fast paced rail shooting sections as well. But the major feature of Asura's Wrath is its brilliant cinematic sequences, often pushed along with the aid of the player via quick time events. This is a game that if it connects with you, will have you very emotionally vested in Asura's struggle, and makes controlling his godly powers satisfying on a level that few games are. This game is about battles that pit gods vs. gods, and they're every bit as spectacular and epic as you can imagine...probably more so. Swords that are thousands of miles long, bosses that are as big as planets, and the ability to blast huge motherships out of orbit with your fists, are normal in the fantastic world of Asura's Wrath. The word "epic" is thrown around very often when describing video games nowadays, but Asura's Wrath gives new meaning to the word. It's very likely that you've never played any other game that will make you feel so good when you finally destroy a foe who has helped ruin Asura's existence. Few games are as satisfying as this one.

But it isn't all spectacle here. The story of the game is very good. It's fantastic actually, and it lends emotional weight to every act of seismic violence that Asura commits. Asura will gain and lose allies, he will be felled and reborn, and he undertakes a journey of vengeance that is unparalleled by any other game I've played. Asura's Wrath makes Kratos' battles against ancient Greek titans seem like games of little league baseball.

Asura's Wrath isn't for everybody. Gamers looking for something like Devil May Cry or a more traditional Capcom action game will be disappointed. But for gamers who love science fiction, Japanese mythology, and/or anime, and for gamers who appreciate a fantastic story that is told in the most unconventional way a story like this can be told, Asura's Wrath is pure gold. It is a game that has genuinely surprised more than any other game I've played in the PS360 era. And in an era where rehashing another sequel is the common way to pay the bills in AAA game development, Asura's Wrath's sheer exuberance and originality is a breath of fresh air. This is one of the most unique and memorable games I've ever played, and I absolutely loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Epic and Fulfilling Original Game Story Ever.
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2012
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
It's all about sequels these days and titles like these don't stand out too well. I played the demo and was pretty impressed but I didn't have the extra nudge to go out and buy this game. That's when my GF purchased this for me as a gift since I've been constantly thinking about whether or not to buy it, and MAN I am so glad she bought this for me.
This game is mostly about QTE's, melee combat, and some aerial shooting kinda. (Basically you just use the reticule to aim and lock onto several points and then release homing energy balls and you can rapid fire them.)
I enjoy QTE's and there are many out there who hate it but it's pretty fun and feels right with this game. This game has a pretty average melee control scheme, there isn't alot of moves and stuff. All you do is punch and punch, then do a harder punch and then do a berserking punch and cutscene. Fairly simple gameplay but the best part about this game is the story. It's so original and well planned out. At first it was like a cheesy anime but eventually it grew into really epic script. This is one of those games where I actually wanted a 100% completion on so I replayed the scenes and scored S rank on Hard and unlocked all the gauges to get it.

Now since this is a game from CAPCOM... they pretty much suck cause all they want to do these days is sell half games and then make you pay $$$ to get the rest of it. Asura's Wrath ends in a cliffhanger but not a totally terrible cliffhanger. The game is pretty much rescuing your daughter and taking revenge(which you do) on the other demi-gods. I didn't have a problem I felt satisfied but then I had to get the extra DLC for the final conclusion chapter. DUDES that was the best DLC I have ever payed for. If you are contemplating please don't and JUST BUY IT. It does the game perfect justice. I love a good game with a good story, and stories these days and pretty decent but this game has the best story hands down. Too describe it in one word.. "EPIC." The extra DLC for Ryu and Akuma was the biggest garbage ever. That was a waste so don't even buy it unless you really don't care, but I personally hated it.

Overall, this game is pretty good if you're looking for a game with decent gameplay and an AMAZING story. Problem is, the best part of the story is the final chapter, which is DLC. But that is SUCH AN AMAZING CONCLUSION that it can be justified.

Asura's Wrath is effing EPIC. It never felt so good to beat a game like this. It's definitely not for all gamers but if you love good stories to play through, get this, especially at a discount price lol.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's like Dragon Ball Z on steroids
Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2012
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
Never got to buy the game when it was released, but after a few months I started to hear very good opinions about it with some friends that have already played as well in some gaming related podcasts. Well I am happy to report that this game is indeed very good, it has along of action in the form of frantic fights Japanese animation style, some of them borderland exagerated but that's what they creators of this game were going for in the first place, keep in mind that the majority of the game is QTE (Quick Time Event) based, the enjoyment of the game might vary depending of how much you like this time of gameplay in videogames.
My advice to you is to approach this game as an unique and short experience that can leave you very satisfied.

Asura's Wrath met every expectation I had imagined before purchase. It had great sound tracks, easy to follow game play, and a story line that kept me engaged for hours through each chapters. Sometimes I would forget I was playing a video game because of how well scenes flowed; it really felt like an interactive movie. I would recommend this game for PS3. It will one of those games I can take off my shelves years later and remember why I enjoyed it so thoroughly.

This game is for you! This is hands down one of my favourite games of all time. Granted, it has a lot of QTE sequences but CyberConnect did a great job making you feel involved in all the crazy action sequences. The game starts off at about an 8/10 in terms of crazy and ends at about 100/10.

This game shouldn't be missed!

The gameplay, soundtrack, art style and animation were top-notch. The story itself was rather touching and my only complaint comes from the fact that the character lips during dialogue are not in the sync when the Japanese voice track is selected. The lips move according to the English voice track, but not for the Japanese one. Odd.

ALSO, the subtitles provided are accurate for the English audio but not for the Japanese! I've picked up a little Japanese over the years and I can tell when entire sentences that are spoken were translated into something wrong! This will impact the intended effects of the story.
