Asura's Wrath looks oversimplified | Preview [NoobFeed]

Daav from NoobFeed.com tries out Asura's Wrath. Space Harrier meets DragonBall Z meets Heavy Rain; that's a weird combination. While the high production of Asura's Wrath is sure to catch the eye, it's still unsure whether it will incorporate enough to keep players piqued. At least it promises variation. But as of now, critical success seems uncertain.

arent gamers dumbed down? sounds perfect

and looks great

Tried the demo, wasn't impressed at all. I didn't even bother giving the second half of the demo a go.

The game feels clunky when compared to something like God of War.

[Lord_Sloth]

So it's like Lords of Shadow.

[Ser]

Nah, nothing like Lords of Shadow.

I actually PREFERRED Lords of Shadow over God of War III for 2010.

The overall feel of Wrath just feels cheap for some reason. Lords wasn't cheap, just a little tight on the controls.

@nilamo

The first one, the one where you fight the giant stone guy.

[nilamo]

which chapter did you play?

[Lord_Sloth]

So not being able to jump over ANY MOVE IN THE GAME no matter how low it is without the second jump you get towards the end (including a crawling swipe attack) translates to "a little tight"?

Wrath's demo wasn't a grand demo but I've played some awesome demos that led to crap games. Also, the fat guy had the dull boss fight, I shall give you that. The second fight however proved much more interesting.

[Ser]

Well, to each his own. I loved Lords.

Wrath WAS clunkier than Lords, though. That's my opinion.

Dragon Ball meets Street Fighter

[nilamo]

I absolutely loved the demo. The game is so outrageous in it's execution that I'm excited in seeing how they would top the two chapters i've played in the final game. Sure it has lots of QTE's but I don't mind. Some of the most memorable moments in god war were QTE sequences.

BTW this game needs to be played in Japanese to appreciate it's shonen structure.

[Silly gameAr]

I loved it too. I thought it was so over the top and insane. I'm looking forward to trying the full game out.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

Yeah i loved this game 2 i'm so sick of FPS every other month. I'm not paying 59.99 for it though i'll wait for it to hit 29.99-39.99 to get it.

[CrescentFang]

I wanted to combo the hell out of normal enemies, but they gave us 2 bosses for the demo... Though in my opinion I can't really judge until I've actually played the game. The demo was enjoyable for me though.

I really want this game to succeed to show Capcom that new ideas matter. They rehash some of the same series in their collections WAY too much. It's good to see something new and original.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

Well Capcom is just publishing it not like they came up with the idea. I knew this game would have QTEs because of the Ultimate Ninja Storm series.

[Deadpool616]

I really love the Ultimate Ninja Storm series and that really got me wondering about this demo. Why put 2 boss battles in 1 demo? Wouldn't having a stage and a boss battle be a even representation of what the game is all about? They're showing us the boss combat but not the combat against the standard enemies. I don't think they thought out this demo very well considering it only represents boss battles and nothing else. I guess we'll see what the complete game has in store for us. I'm eager to see what else this game has to offer. :)

First part of the demo was sooo easy! Pressed triangle till I won! Second part was way over the top, sword goes through the planet! Wth! Might get this to see how much more is in it! Unreal engine looks so bad!
