On the bright side at least the main character isn’t the Fat Guy.Īs you’ll find out though, his anger is integral to his character and the story as a whole. Most of the story focuses on Asura obviously, and while his character arc is quite compelling, he’s not the easiest guy to get along with. The story also incorporates many Eastern religious and mythological sources, Hindu being the most prominent but also featuring imagery and allegories from Buddhism, Shinto, and Chinese mythology.

It’s a story that deals with personal issues like loss, anger and love while also tackling huge cosmic questions like the meaning of existence, free will, and the measure of the greater good VS the rights of the individual.

So yeah, it’s an odd game to say the least, but if you’ve ever seen an Anime movie you’ll be familiar with most of the imagery. Stick with it though, because even though the gameplay itself wasn’t stellar, the story Asura’s Wrath is telling is one of the most ambitious I’ve seen in a video game. On the ground they come in forms of Elephants, Apes, Turtles and even giant floating Tuna fish. The Gohma come in many forms, usually a twisted mimicry of actual animals, which explains the Sea Cucumber ships I guess. In fact the huge fights that the characters get into reminded me a lot of Dragonball Z, which is really the only thing that made me stick with the game past the rather iffy first couple of levels (I have a lot of nostalgic memories of watching DBZ on Cartoon Network after school). Not the most menacing villain I’ve ever seen.Īt this point I should point out that this game was made in Japan and is highly stylistic, in the same vein as most Anime. You start off in the middle of a gigantic battle where eight bombastic and downright bizarre “Guardian Generals” prepare to do battle with the Gohma, demons that look like a bunch of Sea Cucumbers in space. So it’s a few weeks overdue, but I have finally completed Asura’s Wrath and I’m happy to report that the story is pretty damn good, thoughI’ll admit, my first impressions were actually pretty bad.
