Asura's Wrath (2012)
Genres:Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player
Story:The game follows the title character, the demigod Asura as he seeks revenge on the pantheon of other demigods who betrayed him. The story is presented in the style and format of an episodic series of cinematic shorts, including opening and closing credits, with the gameplay being integrated into the cinematic where players switch 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 described in the media as an "interactive anime". According to the game's producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, Asura's Wrath takes elements from Hinduism and Buddhism and blends them with science fiction, with the main character based on the ever combative and superiority-seeking beings of the same name that are part of the Hindu and Buddhist cosmology.Show more

This is less of a game and more of an interactive hot-blooded fighting anime (e.g. Fist of the North Star, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Jujutsu Kaisen). Most of the gameplay consists of QTEs, but this is a game you mainly play for the story, and it is a very entertaining story.
Asura's Wrath is not just a game, it's an experience, and it needs a comeback. It is packed with dramatic twists, emotional moments, and jaw-dropping set pieces. It’s a bold, unapologetic celebration of over-the-top action, emotional storytelling, and cinematic presentation. PLEASE ADD THIS GAME
Asura's Wrath is two things a game should be - cool and fun. Even if it's more of an interactive anime than a game. And even if the real ending is locked behind DLC. But the real issue is how it's a console exclusive - X360 and PS3. Personally, I own the PS3 version and it's an absolute treat with just the right ratio of difficulty to fun.
We need to bring back Asura's Wrath, a game that truly deserves a second chance! Asura's Wrath first came to the PS3/Xbox 360, and stayed on those consoles until the end of time. So please, RELEASE THY RAGE!!!
This is essentially an interactive anime movie with a lot of button bashing. Asura kept getting stronger as the story goes making this an Shonen anime game that's inspired by a few mythologies. There's never a boring moment at all. You get some sick songs to keep you going. It's a very story driven game with some surprises. It's a shame Capcom canceled it's sequel. This is vastly different from majority of their games. I will say the title is very true to it's name. Asura's Wraith is one truly fun party you never wanna leave!!!
Fantastic animations, degenerate powerscaling, epic bossfights, beautiful artstyle, and finally, a perfect representation of what Wrath is all about. I believe this is the Capcom game that most deserves a remake, and I will continue to defend it for the rest of my life. I also almost cried at the end of the DLC, truly a game that deserves more.
A hidden gem that's currently locked away on older hardware, with an ending possibly unavailable as it was paid DLC. The actual game is a mix of QTE and simple character action. However the game manages to really draw you into its world and story, and you realize this is more a playable anime. Which is great, because it goes in the same off-the-charts directions anime can go.
If this could somehow come to PC so more people could experience it, that would be fantastic.
This honeslty one of my favorite games ever. It honestly deserves a second chance. The game has so much replayability even if it's mostly qte's. The game is purre rule of cool. I like this this game so much, for every gaming event like the game awards or gamescom, I beg the CM of capcom USA on insta to bring it back. This is the kind of game that don't need complexity, to be great!
I platted it on PS3 and my god a PC port with 60 FPS + all the dlc would be killer. Hell, the modding community can go crazy with it. I hope CRAPCOM gives the green light to bring the game to pc
i already played it on ps3, and i absolutely loved it, its one of my favorite games. mainly because of the action, they outdid themselves with the action, and i have never seen it be done in this fashion. so its sad that its still stuck on ps3/xbox 360, and capcom doesnt seem to have any interest in it anymore. i really hope this game can get a second chance, so more people can enjoy it

MediEvilMediEvil is an action-adventure game developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation, the game follows Sir Daniel Fortesque, a skeletal knight accidentally resurrected to battle the sorcerer Zarok and save the kingdom of Gallowmere.
The game takes place across a variety of levels, many of which require certain objectives to be performed to progress. Sir Daniel Fortesque can use a variety of weapons, consisting of close range weapons such as swords and clubs to long range weapons such as crossbows. Many of these weapons can be charged for a powerful attack and some weapons, such as the club, can be used to access areas that are otherwise inaccessible. When not possessing any items, Dan is able to rip his own arm off and use it for both melee and ranged attacks. Dan can equip a shield alongside weapons to defend against attacks; though they can only take several hits of damage before breaking. Throughout the game, Dan can visit gargoyle heads of two varieties; green ones offer Dan information while blue ones allow Dan to buy services or ammunition by using the treasures he finds.
Dan's health is determined by a single health bar, which reduces when Dan is hit. It will deplete completely if Dan drowns or falls from a great height. If Dan completely runs out of health, the game will end. Dan can extend his maximum health by collecting Life Bottles, which will automatically refill his health bar if it drops to zero. Also hidden throughout the game are Life Vials and Life Fountains that can replenish Dan's health and fill up any empty Life Bottles Dan has. In each level, there is a hidden Chalice of Souls, which can be collected if the player fills it with enough souls from defeated enemies (some Chalices are awarded via other means). If the player clears a level with a Chalice in hand, Dan is warped to the Hall of Heroes, where he can speak to a legendary hero who will give him rewards, such as weapons. If the player finishes the game with all the Chalices, the game's true ending is revealed.Action Comedy Horror
