About Asura's Wrath
CyberConnect2 made Asura's Wrath for Capcom back in February 2012. You play as a demigod named Asura who wants revenge on his former allies. This action title arrived on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 before vanishing from modern stores. The story unfolds like an anime series with opening and closing credits. Players switch between standard third-person fighting and quick-time events during cutscenes. The developers pulled inspiration from Hindu and Buddhist cosmology for the setting while mixing in hard science fiction elements. It feels like a massive visual novel where you actually control the chaos.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time smashing giant enemies or entire armies with heavy attacks. A typical session involves button-mashing combos followed by mandatory quick-time sequences that keep the pacing frantic. The game forces you to watch long cinematics and then interact by pressing specific prompts at the right moment. Combat feels weighty but often repetitive after the first hour of play. You cross different planetary environments while battling massive bosses that require pattern recognition to defeat. There are no multiplayer modes or side quests to grind. You just push through the linear campaign from betrayal to final revenge.
What Players Think
PlayPile members have rated this title 77 out of 100 based on ninety-six reviews. The average completion rate sits around sixty-eight percent with players logging roughly twelve hours per run. Community moods fluctuate between excitement during boss fights and frustration when quick-time events fail. Critic scores from IGDB match our internal data closely at seventy-seven points. Review snippets frequently mention the over-the-top visuals but complain about the repetitive combat loops. Some users note that the story keeps them hooked despite the mechanical simplicity. The high price on second-hand markets makes it a tough sell for new players today.
PlayPile's Take
This game works best if you want to watch an interactive anime rather than play a deep strategy title. The sixty-eight percent completion rate suggests many people quit before the end. You get twenty-five achievements if you manage to finish everything on your first run. CyberConnect2 delivers impressive visuals but the combat lacks depth. Pay attention to the price tag before buying since it often costs more than its current worth. Skip this if you need challenging gameplay or long-term replayability. The story is worth seeing once but the mechanics hold it back from greatness.
