Asura's Wrath

Asura's Wrath (2012)

by CyberConnect2, Capcom
Genres:Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player
Story:The game follows the title character, the demigod Asura as he seeks revenge on the pantheon of other demigods who betrayed him. The story is presented in the style and format of an episodic series of cinematic shorts, including opening and closing credits, with the gameplay being integrated into the cinematic where players switch between third-person combat and interactive sequences with player input in the form of quick-time event button prompts. Because of its unique style, the game has been described in the media as an "interactive anime". According to the game's producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, Asura's Wrath takes elements from Hinduism and Buddhism and blends them with science fiction, with the main character based on the ever combative and superiority-seeking beings of the same name that are part of the Hindu and Buddhist cosmology.Show more

This is less of a game and more of an interactive hot-blooded fighting anime (e.g. Fist of the North Star, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Jujutsu Kaisen). Most of the gameplay consists of QTEs, but this is a game you mainly play for the story, and it is a very entertaining story.
Asura's Wrath is not just a game, it's an experience, and it needs a comeback. It is packed with dramatic twists, emotional moments, and jaw-dropping set pieces. It’s a bold, unapologetic celebration of over-the-top action, emotional storytelling, and cinematic presentation. PLEASE ADD THIS GAME
Asura's Wrath is two things a game should be - cool and fun. Even if it's more of an interactive anime than a game. And even if the real ending is locked behind DLC. But the real issue is how it's a console exclusive - X360 and PS3. Personally, I own the PS3 version and it's an absolute treat with just the right ratio of difficulty to fun.
We need to bring back Asura's Wrath, a game that truly deserves a second chance! Asura's Wrath first came to the PS3/Xbox 360, and stayed on those consoles until the end of time. So please, RELEASE THY RAGE!!!

This is essentially an interactive anime movie with a lot of button bashing. Asura kept getting stronger as the story goes making this an Shonen anime game that's inspired by a few mythologies. There's never a boring moment at all. You get some sick songs to keep you going. It's a very story driven game with some surprises. It's a shame Capcom canceled it's sequel. This is vastly different from majority of their games. I will say the title is very true to it's name. Asura's Wraith is one truly fun party you never wanna leave!!!

Fantastic animations, degenerate powerscaling, epic bossfights, beautiful artstyle, and finally, a perfect representation of what Wrath is all about. I believe this is the Capcom game that most deserves a remake, and I will continue to defend it for the rest of my life. I also almost cried at the end of the DLC, truly a game that deserves more.
A hidden gem that's currently locked away on older hardware, with an ending possibly unavailable as it was paid DLC. The actual game is a mix of QTE and simple character action. However the game manages to really draw you into its world and story, and you realize this is more a playable anime. Which is great, because it goes in the same off-the-charts directions anime can go. If this could somehow come to PC so more people could experience it, that would be fantastic.

This honeslty one of my favorite games ever. It honestly deserves a second chance. The game has so much replayability even if it's mostly qte's. The game is purre rule of cool. I like this this game so much, for every gaming event like the game awards or gamescom, I beg the CM of capcom USA on insta to bring it back. This is the kind of game that don't need complexity, to be great!

I platted it on PS3 and my god a PC port with 60 FPS + all the dlc would be killer. Hell, the modding community can go crazy with it. I hope CRAPCOM gives the green light to bring the game to pc
i already played it on ps3, and i absolutely loved it, its one of my favorite games. mainly because of the action, they outdid themselves with the action, and i have never seen it be done in this fashion. so its sad that its still stuck on ps3/xbox 360, and capcom doesnt seem to have any interest in it anymore. i really hope this game can get a second chance, so more people can enjoy it

Transformers: The Game
Transformers: The GameTransformers: The Game is the name of multiple versions of a video game based on the 2007 live action film Transformers, all of which were released in North America in June 2007. Home console and PC versions were developed by Traveller's Tales for the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3 and PC. A different PlayStation Portable version was developed by Savage Entertainment. Transformers Autobots and Transformers Decepticons are the Nintendo DS versions of Transfomers: The Game. Vicarious Visions, who was tasked with bringing the adaptation to the Nintendo DS, chose to adapt the DS version into two separate games.[1] Autobots follows the heroes' perspective while Decepticons follows the villains'. Unlike games with multiple SKUs such as Pokémon which feature only minor differences between versions, these are two separate games, sharing some basic similarities, but with unique characters, missions and locations.[2]

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team
Warhammer 40,000: Kill TeamWarhammer 40,000: Kill Team is a top down view, perspective correct, 3d arcade shooter, with twin stick control set in the Warhammer 40,000 future fantasy universe. Players play as Space Marines attempting to halt an Ork invasion spaceship, facing orks and later, Tyranids on board. Four Space Marine classes are playable including ranged specialists like the Sternguard Veteran and Techmarine, and more melee focused classes like the Vanguard Veteran and Librarian.

The game received average and favourable reviews on both platforms, being described as generally enjoyable or fun, but let down by a short campaign, lack of online multiplayer, and a limited appeal to non Warhammer:40,000 fans.
