The game follows the title character, the
demigod Asura as he seeks revenge on the pantheon of other demigods who betrayed him. The story is presented in the style and format of an episodic series of cinematic scenes, including opening and closing credits, with the gameplay being integrated into the cinematic where players switch between third-person combat and interactive sequences with player input in the form of
quick-time event button prompts. Because of its unique style, the game has been described in the media as an "interactive
anime". According to the game's producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya,
Asura's Wrath takes elements from
Hindu and Buddhist mythologies and blends them with
science fiction.
