Asura's Wrath

Asura's Wrath

The game follows the title character, the demigod Asura, on his quest for revenge against the pantheon of other demigods who betrayed him. The story is presented in the style and format of an episodic series of short films, including opening and closing credits, with gameplay integrated into the film where players alternate 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 called an "interactive anime" in the media. According to Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, the game's producer, Asura's Wrath combines elements of Hinduism and Buddhism with science fiction. The main character is based on the eponymous beings, always fighting and striving for superiority, which are part of Hindu and Buddhist cosmology.
