Asura's Wrath (Japanese: アスラズ ラース Hepburn: Asurazu Rāsu) was first announced at the Tokyo Game Show in 2010. 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.

    "Maximum framerate with the patch is half the Vblank frequency. While most of the game works without any issue, some of the button mashing QTEs are tied to framerate. It's possible to play through the game at 60 FPS if you are good at button mashing, but 120 FPS and higher are unplayable in several missions. Without the patch, adjusting Vblank frequency increases the maximum framerate up to about 57 FPS."
