Asuras wrath demo

[EvilBoris]

I actually quite liked it, full of spectacle.

Very epic, maybe a bit cheap with the QTEs but I loved the grandiose feel of this and it looks/sounds great. Loved the bit where that god bloke is presiding over the earth, and he tries to squish Asura with his index finger, demo was worth it for that alone.

[JU!]

I found it very odd to play.

I found it very odd to play.

But surely that's a reason to love it? It reminded me of the SNES game Wild Guns, ever so slightly. Which was of course inspired by Cabal.



I've grown very tired of every game this generation being either a generic FPS or a generic third-person action game. Even El Shaddai, which looked amazing, played like everything else, and played like **** too (apart from the 2D bits, which were ace). I've just had enough of all these 3rd person games, move with left stick, camera with right stick, and so on.

This on the other game defies genres. It plays unlike anything else out there right now. I only hope the entire game is like this, and that these aren't just some special boss stages. Because I'd be disappointed if the rest of the game followed all those others out there.

Diversity, that's what we need. The story in this looks mental, and the control system/gameplay mechanics definitely buck the trend.

Can't wait.

I liked the QTE battles they reminded me of the boss battles in naruto on 360 however to have a full game like that i think wouldn't be much of a game as besides a few button pressed theres not much gaming going on. Needs a careful balance really, did like the demo however i did find the voice acting pretty sucky can't say i liked the voices.

Shall be interesting to see how the full game is.

What is the rest of the game like, Sin and Punishment?

I thought it was terrible. The shooty sections were really, really bad and the QTE battles were just regular QTE battles I've seen many times before. I thought I'd like the OTT'ness of the game but it actually bored me.

It reminded me a little bit of a PS2 game I can't remember the name of. 3rd person platformer\fighter where you could combo entire levels, run up walls and do lots of crazy ****. That's how to do OTT action.
