Asura’s Wrath had my brain battling itself, I was not 100% sure this game knew how cheesy it was, but I think that it is safe to say, that it does. Or I hope so!
The game really plays a lot like Ninja Blade, if you have read my other work you will know I don’t really like quick time events, but this game somehow made them okay, they really seemed to fit in. I tend to say I don’t like cut scenes where you can’t relax without “BASH B NOW!” flashing across your screen, but the whole game (More or less) is played out in this way, which is all dandy really, but I still found it a little annoying.
So what is the game actually focused on? Well it’s the epic tale of a really pissed off demi-god, it plays out in an anime style giant cut scene, cut into parts and chapters. It complements the game well, the credits roll around as the game is playing, obviously not all over the middle of the screen. There are parts of the game that are played differently, there’s a hot springs scene where basically, you at tits, peeping toms and drink. Awesome.
Every now and then you will be able to run around and hit stuff, this is to build up your “Burst meter” which makes you hit more stuff. Then, you guessed it, back to the cut scene thing. It’s kind of annoying, because no matter how much you hit an enemy it won’t die until you get your burst meter full so it can feel really unsatisfactory when you hit them. Until you use your “Burst attack” (Which is what you get when the meter is full) because it’s always awesome.
The music plays to the game well, almost as over the top as the game. But not quite, I don’t think that’s actually possible. The game is so stupidly over the top and unnecessary that it’s awesome. Being stabbed through planets, chopped in half, explosions, it has it all.
Asura dies a lot in the game but keeps coming back, why? Because he’s pissed, that’s about it. The story is basically “They took your little girl, go nuts.” It does expand the story quite a bit and I was quite shocked to see how much thought they actually put into it.
So it’s hard to say if you should buy it, but if you like anime, stabbing, punching, gods, robots, hilariously cheesy dialogue, and fight scenes that are so over the top your penis bleeds then yeah, get it.
