Here's a preview to clarify, it's a good read regardless of your gaming preferences.

tl;dr version: Don't go in expecting a hack'n'slash game, go in expecting to be led through a story.

Not sure how to react to this?

Anybody going in expecting fine tuned hack'n'slash mechanics will be disappointed. The thread is for people to get their expectations adjusted accordingly.

By buying the shit out of it.

The demo alone was already better than anything from the GOW series.

Every time i read something about this game it's getting better and better

Thanks for posting. My interest in the game went from zero to mild :)

Kinda cool they seem to understand to fill a specific niche and sell the game to 200K happy gamers who crave for a unique and awkward experience, instead of trying to rip-off God of War and fail at it.

Well, based on my experience with the demo, i would say this is more like Naruto UNS. Though, with a little more QTE on the way (since the game is bigger than Naruto UNS story mode, i hope).

I even find difficult to compare the pacing of this game to the one in HR. Would we also brush Asura's theeths here, or open doors?

I said that in other thread. For a "fast paced action" game the gameplay is horrible. This QTE based gameplay; is more appropriate to games that are driven by story-emotion-deep characters; because in that kind of games the characters ends up doing lots of different things every time (dancing, investigating, fighting, shooting...etc; just like Heavy Rain.

But in Asura´s Wrath, all you do is fighting, fighting, and more fighting; yet instead of making it a proper action game; the developers have transformed the game in some kind of QTE based; when it doesnt make any sense at all.

Also Asura´s Wrath, is almost a shooter in lots of parts of the game. You shoot things from your arms, and "dodge" while doing so. And you cant even dodge freely most times, because is a section that is on rails.

For an action game it is really weird; and most probably will be rated horribly.
