    If you’re anxious to get more gameplay you can go back to replay chapters for higher scores or with different Gauges that might make the game harder and which unlock achievements and trophies. It may be tough to justify paying full price for Asura’s Wrath’s limited interactivity, but it has a lot of style to fall in love with.

    The game seemed to lack direction and after you have played the game through to its completion there is little reason to come back to play it again. Despite the negatives as its core Asura’s Wrath was an enjoyable game. So if you are a fan of Anime and Manga, then you will likely appreciate this game; otherwise, you may just want to avoid this one.

    Asura's Wrath is a novel idea with some poor implementation. It often feels strained into too many directions, but there is something undeniably fun about certain outrageous moments. There really isn't much else quite like Asura's Wrath. Asura's Wrath might very well be the poster child for rental titles. Play it, enjoy what's fun and unique about it and avoid spending full price.

    Asura’s Wrath isn’t qualified to teach us anything. For all its luxurious visuals, it knows little about how to marry them.

    It's a game because its price demands that it be categorized and measured against those relative merits. Yet, when taken for what it really is--an anime film that just happens to use a game engine and some mild interactive mechanics--a price point that competes with similarly themed movies would present Asura's Wrath in a far different, and potentially groundbreaking, light.

    ... this new Capcom IP doesn’t hold back on the ‘wrath’ element that makes this game’s title so fitting. ....
