Let’s check out some of the critical acclaim that Asura’s Wrath has been garnering:
Eurogamer: “Alongside a rhythmic and uncommonly accessible beat-’em-up, Asura’s Wrath is part rollercoaster, part anime blockbuster and part stress-ball.” 8/10
Joystiq: “The quick-time events add weight to some fo the most incredible, nigh-unbelievable moments I’ve ever experienced. Indeed there are too many such moments for me to recall them all” 4.5/5
Videogamer: “It’s important to really convey just how seismic Asura’s beatdowns are. This is a guy who can kill a god with a headbutt, or punch his way out of a demonic fish that’s the size of America.” 8/10
GameInformer: “The ridiculous moments and likable characters kept me smiling, which was odd, considering it’s essentially a story about misery. It’s a nice change of pace from other hack-and-slash games.” 8.5/10
G4TV: “In terms of story and presentation, Asura’s tale is one of the best of this console generation… Asura’s Wrath is a great experience, and one of the most outright fun games this year.” 4/5

Asura's Wrath Quick Time Interview
Feb 8th
The Metro’s GameCentral section has posted up a really good interview with Asura’s Wrath developers CyberConnect2. In it they discuss the finer points of of getting really, really angry, growing six arms and the inevitable question about quick time events:
GC: Even amongst people that have really enjoyed the demo there is a lot of concern that the gameplay is predominately only quick time events, what percentage of the overall game are based on those sequences?
HM: The gameplay is very dynamic and changes mesmerisingly from one situation to another, be it scroll shooting, combat action or ‘QTE’ each with unique staging according to the situation. This varies from episode to episode, so it is very difficult to specify what the ratio is. The ‘QTE’ you mention is also very different from the QTE commonly known, and there will be no need of repeating the same scene again and again just because a QTE failed – and we have removed other hated aspects people tend to have about QTEs.

Asura’s Wrath hits shelves on 24 February in Europe and 9th March in the UK. And don’t forget to enter the RAGE competition!
