Naturally, just asking would be too easy. Unfortunately for you your daughter is the only person that can collect the mystical force 'Mantra' that gives the gods their power. You are a demigod General known as Asura, as one of eight other demigods you protect your planet from evil. It's a mish mash of cultures, pulling in references from all over eastern mythology. Asura's Wrath: GameplayĪsura's Wrath at times feels like the gaming equivalent of a Quentin Tarantino film, albeit without Samuel L Jackson's perm. Luckily in the instances where you are given control of Asura you can positively feel the anger flow through each blow.

With the game dishing out so much of the punishment on your behalf you almost feel left out by simply having to press one button. It's a technique that'll have you feeling borderline lazy. Granted, in the moments when you're given control of the demigod General Asura you will find that pressing 'b' will in fact make him get angry at someone, while pressing 'y' will cause him to vent several hundred thousand years worth of rage in a direction of your choosing.Īlongside these two attacks are a long range fireball attack which can be used for anything from taking down flying demons to destroying whole battleships.Īpart from that, the game relies heavily on timed button prompts, with each press unleashing a montage of bright colours and pain on whoever it so was that gets in his way. You see to imply that Asura's Wrath really has any structured way of being played, in the sense of the word 'features' would be a complete fallacy.

Asura's Wrath: FeaturesĪh, this is awkward. To assume that this is all there is to it would be a grave mistake.
Asura wrath review ps3#
Pick it up and the Xbox 360 and PS3 title will greet you with an appearance that simply suggests it's business as usual for Capcom. This is because Asura's Wrath is one of the most deceptive games you'll see on the shelf. 'Playing' through the introduction is essentially tantamount to having your senses gently beaten with the angry end of slightly miffed rhinoceros. Please note that when we say shock we don't mean a mere pinch on the arm, oh no. If you're what would be called a 'traditional' gamer then the first 20 minutes of Asura's Wrath may come as a bit of a shock to the system.
