Long story short he is betrayed by his fellow gods and they kill the very general they were sworn to protect and frame Asura. The backdrop to Asura's Wrath is based around our hero Asura and well his wrath. Also when you unlock all the illustrations and artwork in the options menu it is worth a little peek there is some fantastic work there. The stunning visuals and graphics in this game are fantastic and i couldn't say otherwise.

Visuals are CyberConnect's forte and they really deliver to be honest if there is one thing they know how to do well its manga/anime. Over the top action is pretty much a given with this studio and they deliver by the bucket load with headbutt after Earth shattering headbutt. There are others but i don't feel like ruining the surprise. From headbutting fat guardians of the Gods to being able to shut you nemesis up mid conversation with the press of a button and being rewarded an achievement for it. Sometimes the fight sequences are downright OTT which you would come to expect from this God based slobber knocker. So the gameplay in Asura's Wrath, well it's everything you come to expect from CyberConnect 2 studios its fast paced, completely over the top, ass kickery (yes that word is made up). They know how to design anime or manga beat em ups they are kings of this genre in fact. Firstly i would like to say i am a huge, huge fan of Cyber Connect 2 they have done wonders with their work on Naruto games which as been their staple game to be honest. However my head keeps telling me otherwise a 7 maybe or 7.5. So i do rate this with my head rather than my heart, if were to go with my heart i would give this game a solid 9 for originality and maybe just maybe thats what it deserves.

One the other hand, lots of quick time events, very little fighting (in the opening stages at least) and more cutscenes than gameplay but i can't complain about that too much because of cutscenes like the one above. Asura's Wrath is a hard game to rate on the one hand, stunning visuals, epic anime duels against robotic god like warriors, over the top Asura's Wrath is a hard game to rate on the one hand, stunning visuals, epic anime duels against robotic god like warriors, over the top videos of a Buddha type character turning the same size as a planet and trying to squash Asura with his continent sized finger.
