![]() Occasionally he’ll stop to build an aura of anger around him that rivals what you’d see in something like Dragon Ball Z. His reaction to everything is a primal scream and some punching. The writers simply decided he was “mad as all heck” and left it there. He has no character or personality whatsoever. This is truly a world I would like to explore more. There are several great moments in the game that honestly had me interested. The game isn’t afraid to raise questions about religious beliefs and morality concerning sacrifices for the greater good. The story itself has some great moments and some fantastic setups. However, more important details are given at a trickle after the beginning. Action happens frequently, and enemies fall like rain. The story is also driven forward at a slow pace. During chapters, there will be breaks where commercials would be, as well as previews of the next episode. ![]() While other games have done this before, this game takes the next step. What makes this game unique is that it is told in a episodic format. He sets out to kill the newly anointed Seven Deities and get his daughter back too. Since demigods are immortal, all the key players are still alive and remember him quite vividly. Oh, and he’s dead too.įrom there, the story starts with Asura breaking his way up from hell to return to Earth twelve thousand years into the future. However, he soon finds himself betrayed by the other generals, leaving his daughter kidnapped, his wife murdered, and himself labeled a traitor. After putting the biggest Gohma to sleep, Asura, one the generals, is out for some well deserved R&R. The Guardians are part of a race of demigods that defend Earth from the Gohma. The Gohma are terrestrial manifestations of evil that claim the souls of mortals on Earth. So Asura’s Wrath begins with a group known as the Eight Guardian Generals in the midst of battle against the Gohma. I mean that in the sense that it does a lot of things I find hard to put a quantitative measure on. I can honestly say this is one of the hardest games I’ve ever had to review. So, with that out of the way, we can get to the review. I lowered my expectations, but kept hope alive. I didn’t find the gameplay very exciting in any fashion, and there wasn’t enough of the story to hook me in. Then I played the demo, which Alex Lucard rightly pointed out was not indicative of a particularly good game. That was all I needed to be exited, and I was looking forward to supporting them on it. ![]() I mention this because when I heard about Asura’s Wrath, the only thing I knew was that CC2 was developing it. I love the Ultimate Ninja series, and look forward greatly to the next entry. A lot of them are pretty sub-par, but the CC2 games are usually the best you can get. The reason is because I play a lot of Naruto games.
