Asura’s Wrath Hands-On Preview | Warp Zoned

"Asura’s Wrath is the latest game from Capcom and developer CyberConnect2. This absurdly over-the-top action game features everything from intense Quick Time Events to anime-esque “commercial break” loading screens. The frenetic action, varying gameplay elements, and extreme cinema scenes combine together to make something that, while it’s not unique, is still fun. Be sure to get a bag of ice ready, though, because you’re going to have what I like to refer to as “God of War elbow” in no time."

seemingly this title is not getting muh attention and in my humble opinion it might turn into another miss of a very good game.. i hope it doesn't.

I was on the fence with this once ever since I saw the first videos last year. Downloaded and played the demo and immediately went online and preordered it. It's just so over-the-top. Can't wait to play it.

Loved the Demo....plus I need to see what happens next ...after the whole sword through the earth thing... X)

Lastly, you're right, the game is over the top (and that's not a bad thing).

@jellyjelly
I was thinking the same thing.

For me it had the opposite effect. I was loving this game until I played the demo and now I am unsure. I am still going to buy it, but not sure if it will be at launch or when it drops to the £20 range.

Although it played okay and I loved the over the top action, crazy anime style gameplay, it just felt like a ps2 game from the bland textures and empty enviroments and the constant flashbacks (happened during 2 boss fights, so i can imagine it happening in every boss fight) to seeing his daughter which would make him angry just before an ass wooping was unleashed :s

That and the combat felt like button mashing as supposed to the likes of DMC, Gungrave, Bayonetta or other over the top Japanese games.

I really disliked the demo. Especially the voice acting, maybe Japanese audio would help? Although I will commend the graphics and art direction.
