Asura’s Wrath isn’t as brainless as it may want you to believe. The ridiculous moments and likable characters kept me smiling, which was odd, considering it’s essentially a story about misery. It’s a nice change of pace from other hack-and-slash games, featuring an interesting story that’s not blocked off by insurmountable difficulty.

Every one of these battles, or indeed any scrap in Asura’s Wrath, have a singular goal – getting old spiky head so angry that he flips out and unleashes galaxy-rippling levels of violence on anyone who dares glance in his direction. There’s a red bar at the top of the screen, and the more damage you inflict, the quicker it fills up. Max it out, and a flaming right trigger and the word BURST pop-up on screen . Tug that sucker like you mean it and await the colossal asswhoopin’ that always follows.

Asura’s Wrath is, without doubt, one of those games that some people will love for one reason and others will hate for the very same reason. I say embrace the madness and run with it. Let your inhibitions regarding quick-time events and cut-scene heavy games go and, if you like the kind of anime this is based on, you might just find a gem. I did.

I can’t help but love Asura’s Wrath for having the bravery to try something completely new. It sets out to be a new kind of interactive animation, and it succeeds completely at that. But a game this light on actual content is difficult to justify as a full-price release; it’s style over substance, and some players will feel cheated by the paucity of actual gameplay in amongst the six hours of brilliant spectacle. You should absolutely play Asura’s Wrath, because it’s an experience like no other, but be aware of what it is before you put down your cash.

What we have here then is an oddity that fans of bombastic anime shows will undoubtedly lap up. There’s still plenty here for non-fans to enjoy but the overwhelming reliance on QTE’s and cutscenes may leave people wondering if they got their money’s worth. What you’re guaranteed is plenty of fun, but with a short running time, limited actual gameplay and no real reason to go back unless you want to unlock the hidden ending or all of the achievements, then Asura’s Wrath is certainly not for everyone. Still any game that takes a unique approach can only be a good thing so it would be a shame for people not to give Asura’s Wrath a chance. Sit back, switch off and enjoy some mindless, wrath fuelled, shenanigans.

Fans seeking deep, involving combat shouldn’t put down their copies of Kingdoms of Amalur or Mass Effect for Asura’s Wrath: it’s a game chock full of style but little substance. Nevertheless, we can’t deny that Asura’s made us jump, scream, and pump our fist in the air just as often as the game’s crazy warrior hero, even if it was a byproduct of not having to press any buttons for dozens of minutes at a time.

Whilst it’s definitely not a game that will stay with you for the action then, it’s still worth noting that Asura’s storyline is engaging and absolutely spectacular in comparison to most other titles. The themes of tragedy, redemption and anger are hardly unique in their own right, but the developer has done such a good job in executing both plot and visual style that it’s compelling to the end. Keep in mind that there’s every chance you might be wishing for a bit more, but who knows, you might find the format to be just the breath of fresh air you were looking for in an otherwise predictable genre.
