Originally played by me in 2023, I’m compiling this review based on a series of discord messages sent to rappy as well as a small twitter thread. I’m going to try to present this as unedited as possible because the Discord messages in order were very good.
Fuck it - Catrena's going to see Barbie today and then getting lunch, i'm a little hung over from ween last night
Its fucking Azura's Wrath time
LETS FUCKING GO
Something I've seen a lot of in regards to FF16 is "You wanted Asura's Wrath 2, you got FF16"
I already feel like I'm going to have an unhealthy obsession with this
oh my god this game
Grand orchestral sadness? check
strange religions? double check
insane battles in space?? CHECK
the art style of this game reminds me a bit of Fist of the North Star
this game is laid out weird, it feels like it almost wants to be an anime first, a manga second and a video game third
(and that's not a dig, just an observation about formatting)
it also seems like they took hindu and buddhist philosophies and threw them into a blender
berserk, too. lots of berserk in here
This is me to this game
Lol I just got an achievement for interrupting a bosses speech called “Shut Up Wyzen”
Incredible
I just stopped a finger from god that was twice the size of earth, blew that deity into stardust and lava and in the process destroyed my arms
this is the most video game ass video game i've ever played and I fucking love it
its INSANE
anytime anyone says that QTEs are trash i'm going to force this game into their anus
because they rule
do we need them in Resident Evil games? Probably not. Do they work to get you mashing buttons in a face-off between you and a deity? absolutely.
I might be close to the end
I’m playing as Yasha AND Asura as we fly through space in the buddy mobile to kill giant Deus
The more I play this I’m wondering if this was released weekly or something
The chapters
Because they do a “next time on Asuras Wrsth” at the end and it’s like… dude I’m LITERALLY going to play it right now
So I’ve been skipping them
I rolled credits on Chapter 18 of Asura's Wrath last night and after the lengthy credit sequence, the tally of scores and showing me what we've unlocked, it informed me that there is indeed a TRUE ending that I was not privy to
and in order to obtain the true last chapter, I need to get S-rank on 5 chapters, or play at least 50 chapters total
and my smug ass was all "i've easily lapped up 5 s-ranks, losers"
and after getting the tally back from NASA, i indded fell short by 1 S-rank lol
so I'm going in to try to get an s-rank on one more so I can see the TRUE ENDING
DAMNNNN
DAMMMNNN
I knew that the stupid golden spider was going to come back into play here, but I did not expect THAT
Last night I kept asking "What about OLGA!?" and hoo boy
she gets fucking yeeted from the universe lmfao
Asura is LIam O'Brien of Griomoire Weiss and Critical Roll fame
Yasha is Robin Atkin Downes of TRAVIS TOUCHDOWN fame
Olga is Tara Strong of Juliet Starling (among a billion other things) fame
oh my god I'm playing the Asura's Wrath DLC and I just hit a story beat that was maybe some of the coolest and best storytelling I've seen in a game
holy shit the end of this DLC is incredible
Maybe Asura's Wrath doesn't deserve that title, afterall the game it owes its legacy to, God Hand, is pretty damned buff. But this game stands upon its own shoulders, which are actually giants, so it's kind of contorted into this weird celestial pretzel and while also praying to a multi-armed deity with lasers. SEE? THIS GAME GAVE ME CRAZY MOUTH and for that reason, it's BUFF CERTIFIED.
