Asura's Wrath Demo = Disappointment

[Deep_Sleeper]

So I downloaded the Asura's Wrath demo and I have to say, it just didn't live up to the epic game the initial videos built it up to be.

The game allows you to do everything that the trailers have shown thus far, but alas...it just didn't feel epic enough.

I agree wasn't really feeling the demo, it felt like a console game trying to be an arcade game except without the fun. Also I despise QTEs in most games and this was no exception, disappointing.

Personally, I liked it; the QTEs are apparently mostly restricted to the boss fights during the game, and even then usually only to serve as a transition between the different sections of the battle. Heck, the first of the boss fights in the demo was more of a rail shooter than a GOW style brawler.

OTOH, it did feel kinda repetitive, especially the part in the first fight where you keep getting tossed back and have to do the rock jumping part exactly the same way. The fight against Asura's Master was much better in that regard, with the QTEs being more like Kingdom Hearts 2's Reaction Commands, though they could have tossed in a few more varieties of slashes for the old guy.

I hope in the finalized version they do add a bit of variety and fine tune the controls to be a bit more accurate on the jumps to allow for some better maneuvering. Maybe add in a double/triple jump or air-dashing, since they can all apparently fly already.
