What to say about this game....Oh yeah fun,visually mind blowing, epic. Asura's Wraith is not really a game but a really interactive anime/movie. The story revolves around a Demi-God Asura who is betrayed by his own group,The Eight General Guardians, who also kill your wife, take your daughter, and put you down for a few years(A 100 or so, so not that long). As you wake up you vow to get your daughter back and kill your group(who are now the Seven Deities.
The scenes were you get control usually have you fighting until you fill up a "Burst Gauge" and then going on to the next QTE. Now even though this sounds boring it is actually quite entertaining. The enemies start to become a challenge and you have multiple combos to use against them. But it doesn't shine on that. It's all about the cutscenes and QTE baby. The cutscenes do incredibly well on showing of the characters, story, and goals.(As well as how mad Asura can get.) The QTE somehow make you feel like your watching an epic fighting anime with you casually helping how it effects the outcome. This is simple but comes with marvelous effects.
If the game is getting boring or you want help with it, there are gauges you unlock that enhance or challenge you(Ex Blind Guage=You cant tell what your health or how filled up your gauge is, or the Mortal Gauge=Which makes you significantly weaker health wise.) Overall this game had it's doubts but it came out good. It's short but well worth the replays. Don't pass up the game it is well worth the rent. (oh and you do not need to buy the ending of the game,which has been claimed by multiple people. You have to get a certain number of A ranks or higher on a certain number of missions. It's really not that hard to do,trust me. Then the game will notify you of the new ending and you go from there.) 8.75/10
