(アスラズ ラース Asurazu Rāsu) is an action video game collaboration between CyberConnect2 and Capcom that was first announced at the Tokyo Game Show in 2010. It is currently in development to be released in Japan and North America for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It will be released on February 21, 2012 in North America and February 24, 2012 in Europe.
Plot: Asura was once a revered general of the Gods who defeated an enemy known as the Gohma. Returning from the war, Asura was summoned to the Emperor's throne. But to his horror, Asura finds the Emperor has been murdered and he has been accused of the crime. After escaping imperial forces, Asura rushes home to protect his family only to find his beloved wife Durga dead and his daughter Mithra kidnapped. In his rage, Asura pursues his former allies who have Mithra contained in a glass capsule. As Asura charges to save his child, Asura is repulsed by the God Deus, who reveals himself to be the Emperor's murderer so he can bring about what he calls "The Great Rebirth". Weakened by Deus' attacks, Asura is dropped over the edge of the platform and falls to Earth while swearing to exact his vengeance.
Twelve millenia later, Asura is awakened from hibernation by the prayers of a young girl in the mountains. After saving the girl from a pack of ape-like creatures, Asura ventures through the world battling the forces of the Gods as he fights to save Mithra from Deus and the Seven Deities, his former allies who now rule Heaven and have been using Mithra's powers to amplify their own. Along his journey, Asura will combat Heaven's soldiers, ferocious wild life, giant battleships, and other powerful foes. It is by that time as Asura's former friend Yasha begins to see the injustice in Deus's ways and attempts to stop the Seven Deities' cause.
Gameplay:Players take control of Asura, with each chapter in the game playing out like an episode of an anime series. The game incorporates various gameplay elements, which require the player to build up a meter at the top of the screen which will allow them to activate a 'Burst' which allows them to progress through the story. Whilst the game mainly features cinematic sequences which feature quick time events, there are various different types of gameplay available. Examples include players fighting one on one against opponents, or dodging enemy fire in shoot 'em up sections.

Development: According to the game's producer Kasuhiro Tsuyachiya, "Asura's Wrath takes elements from Asian mythology and blends them with science fiction. In the game, Asura is a demigod fighting to reclaim his daughter from the deities who kidnapped her and banished him from earth."Unlike most action games where you can level up and acquire new abilities, Tsyachiya says, "Asura's fighting style will change according to the story. Asura's fighting styles are all predicated from the dramatic story or beats within the game. At certain points in the game, if Asura gets extremely angry, you might see him fight with six arms. At even later points in the game, Asura might get beat down and lose most of his arms." A playable demo of the game was released on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network on January 10, 2012.
First of all if you have not played this demo either turn on your Xbox 360 and download it from the Xbox Live store or turn your PlayStation 3 and download it from the PSN Store. With that said this game is going to be Fu*%*ng amazing, I just recently about two hours ago played this demo and plain and simple I'm not only super impressed with Asura's Wrath but I'm also ecstatic for the release of this game.( Yes I said ecstatic lol) Man as I played this game my heart was pumping and I could not close my mouth because I was in aww at the surroundings and gameplay of this title. Ok one thing I will say is the graphics compared to alot of video games in my collection were not out of this world, but I a hundred and ten percent felt
CyberConnect2 's vision for this game. I fealt like I was the star of a popular anime series, I fealt I was playing Dragon balls z on crack steroids and heroine lol seriously. Now some of you may have played this game (Dragon balls z) and some of you may have not like it. Me personally I used to get my ass whooped daily in this game when I was younger, so many times in fact that after a while I would want to fight my friend in real life. The thing that I liked the the most about this game was the fact that it had the illusion of a open wordplay game, what do I mean by this? well for example when my friend use to kick my ass in this game 9/10 time he would punch and or kick me so hard that I would go flying into a mountain hitting it and thus turning it into a pile of rocks.
See this guy kinda has the right idea just imagine instead guku kicking baby's ass all up and down this map and someone in the back ground mumbling to his best friend {You bitch made nigga} lMFAO good times good times
I noticed in Asura's Wrath that CyberConnect2 capitalized on moments like this, moments that fealt like my opponent or I could destroy the earth at any given moment with one powerful move. I fealt like the game had a story to tell me and I was apart of that story I fealt like if I did not press a certain button at a certain time that it would be my fault why the story would not be told to me, and I loved it the immersiveness in this game was insane and without ruining the experience for you plain and simple this game will change the way games are played forever this is the beginning of something phenomenal period point blank no exaggeration.
