There aren’t a lot of VR games that push the scope of a standard game. For most VR games, they’re shorter experiences that are boosted by the fun interactable side. Yes, there have been VR mods or versions of full length games like Skyrim VR, but there aren’t many games, especially ground up VR ARPGs, that feel like fully expansive titles. In comes Asgard’s Wrath 2, the follow up to the hit VR ARPG. Sanzaru Games promised that the title would be a full length RPG with up to 100+ hours...

Conventional. This is one word that does not describe Asura’s Wrath and the over-the-top storytelling experience that encompasses the recent release by Cyberconnect 2.

Good or bad, game or no game, you've just got to play Asura's Wrath. And, in truth, that probably says it all.

Once a revered deity, Asura was betrayed by his fellow gods and stripped of all his powers. Consumed by anger at the injustice he has suffered and swearing vengeance, Asura discovers he can use this fury to his advantage and turn it against his enemies.

I can’t help but love Asura’s Wrath for having the bravery to try something completely new. It sets out to be a new kind of interactive animation, and it succeeds completely at that. But a game this light on actual content is difficult to justify as a full-price release; it’s style over substance, and some players will feel cheated by the paucity of actual gameplay in amongst the six hours of brilliant spectacle. You should absolutely play Asura’s Wrath, because it’s an experience like no other, but be aware of what it is before you put down your cash.

Asura's Wrath is a full, multi-layered, interactive experience with style to spare and will rival your favorite animes with its gorgeous animation, art style and cinematography. If you're looking for a traditional beat em up or action game, look somewhere else, but if you want something outrageous, inspired and memorable, then Asura's Wrath is set to space punch your mind into gaming bliss.

Remember Dragon’s Lair back in the day? It was a lush, arcade experience whereby a player simply had to memorise certain quick time events (certain brutally taxing events, that is) in order to avoid a grisly death and progress the story. In many ways Asura’s Wrath has a lot in common with that particular curio of yesteryear, as it's less an actual game and more of an interactive story. Whether that is a good or a bad thing depends entirely on the player, but it certainly makes for one hel...
