ASURAS WRATH

Asuras Wrath Asura’s Wrath is not like any game you will ever have played before. This is, self-evidently, an excellent thing – and a rare one, if you’ve been playing games for a long time. It is an attempt at a new kind of interactive entertainment, one much closer to living, breathing anime than traditional action game. It delivers a story that’s up there with the best gaming has to offer in terms of visual spectacle, but in doing so, it stays very close to the conventions of film, and rather shies away from actually being a game. The game’s story spans 12,000 years and follows the story of Asura. a demi-god betrayed by his fellow gods and thrown out of heaven. He loses his wife and daughter to a power-plot dreamed up by the other deities, and finds himself resurrected centuries later through the sheer force of his anger. As he comes back to life and sees what a mess of the world his former comrades have made, his rage gets stronger and stronger, leading to some incredible scenes of over-the-top, fantastical violence. You’ll see some astonishing things: the Earth exploding into a gigantic laser-shooting maw, a sword so long it can cleave the Moon in two.

IT IS BEST DESCRIBED AS AN INTERACTIVE ANIME BOX-SET

The game is split into 18 episodes (with a secret unlockable one at the end) of about 20 minutes each, each one book-ended by gorgeously illustrated bumpers and adorned with credits just like a real television show. There’s even a narrated preview before each one that hints at what’s about to happen. Each of these episodes features completely different gameplay, dependent on the scenario. So in one episode, you might be headbutting a giant turtle to death, where in the next you’re shooting giant squid in space in an on-rails shooter scenario
