    Retro|Spective 118: Asura's Wrath




    History in Games:
    2012 - Asura's Wrath


    Overview:
    Taking the form of an episodic anime, this last generation title heralds in a new era of RS threads. Previously I stood solely by the side of running these on running franchise titles but now we're opening things up to retro titles that are remembered despite only having single title releases which has led to a reshuffle of what is lined up for future threads. Asura mixed several genres and functions to provide an action game that escalated to massive proportions by the end of the games play time. Mixing rail shooter sequences with action moments and QTE's the player worked through a total of 50 episodes of action. Taking five years to develop and release the game represented a huge undertaking for Capcom and was a unique offering which has led to it still being one of the last gens most memorable offerings despite not finding the sales success to match.

    Loved it... Right up until the end was a piece of paid DLC.

          Always wanted it, never got round to playing it! I'm surprised there hasn't been a quick and dirty re-release on current systems.

            Yes Apparently it was one of the last games added to the systems BC support last summer

              Great! That's another game I'll pretend I have time to play!

                Is the DLC still 'to pay for' or can you buy the full game as a whole? Always put me off getting this, really quite fancied it but hate buying half a game.

                    It's probably worth noting that Asura's Wrath has one of the biggest bosses ever...

                          With that topic, I guess you haven't summoned Asura's wrath...
