I recommend this game as I have enjoyed it very much. I have played Asura: Vengeance in short, intense bursts and finally achieved its true ending (Rise of the Demon King) just today while my 9 year old daughter Ariadne has recently achieved the game's first ending (the Betrayal) on her first go, no pause nor save, after watching me play it. Dark, heroic and masculine; Asura: Vengeance is an action game that demands tenacious focus and adaptability. Review by Ambrax
First of - this game is HARD. To progress you need to simply learn to get good at this game, there is no leveling up or RNG that can save you. This means that you'll be replaying this constantly if you want to get good, meaning this will be very grindy. For a grindy game there is almost no variety - there's a few preset rooms with a few presets of enemy encounters, and you'll quickly learn to identify these. This is all up to you inf you find this a con or a pro, because you'll not need to learn too many encounters. All in all, one of those games you make just a one or maybe a few runs of every day, for quick breaks.
This game requires completion on Hard to see the full ending. There's a good amount of variety in the items and builds although there is a lot of randomness to the Skills available. Combat is very punishing and satisfying and there is a good variety of enemies and bosses. Playing with MSI Afterburner or RivaTuner on could cause the 64bit executable to fail to boot; there is a 32bit private beta you can find the key for in the discussions. This shouldn't keep you occupied for too long but it should be at least 5-10 hours of good fun.
Rating 7/10 Worth it? At a discount - yes. At full price... well, consider that it was made by a two-man company based in India. It's worth it, just to support those guys. Playtime It took me 7.5 hours to complete it on the first difficulty. You could probably do it in 3h, but I got killed a lot. A second difficulty level is unlocked after that and there is one more to look forward to. I didn't play them. Comparison It's a hack&slash game, but don't think Diablo . You visit one room/arena at a time, sort of like Dungeon of the Endless , but you're in control - you decide who and how to attack. Plot The story is set in Indian mythology. A king wanted to make a blood sacrifice to the Gods so he burned an innocent kid at the stake. The kid didn't die and was given special abilities by other beings (Rakshasa Lords). He turned into Asura (Demon) so he could get revenge on the king. You have to go through five fortresses that were raised to stop you. Each one has an elite warrior (Maha-Yodha) protecting it. After you defeat one you get access to the next fortress and the king awaits in the last one. After you defeat the king, you unlock the next difficulty level and repeat the same thing all over again. Look... It looks very well for an indie game (no pun intended). The rooms/arenas are relatively simple, but if you take the time to look at the buildings in the background, you'll notice some great artwork. The visual effects, the animations, everything looks really good. One area that I didn't like that much is the UI, especially the inventory. The circle where you level-up and pick abilities looks good, but the one where you switch weapons does not. ... and Feel I played with a controller and it was a good choice. It felt natural to move around, roll and use different types of attacks. Aiming at enemies was simple enough (it's assisted), but when I tried to shoot arrows at some fire pits it wasn't as straightforward. The menus were a different story - even the nicely looking one for abilities was erratic to navigate, not behaving as expected. I mean it's round and your analog stick can do round moves, yet it only moved from one ability to another and not based on the left-right and up-down movements in relation to the center. Audio Very good soundtrack, matching the Indian mythology theme. You can check it out on the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9OAAnnzVkM]official Ogre Head Studio's YouTube channel . One thing worth noting is that the game doesn't have an English voice-over, just subtitles. That's not a big deal, there's not much talking anyway, only in videos (about three of them). Gameplay You mostly run around killing enemies. But, with each enemy killed, you can choose whether you want to get experience or loot. Progress your character or get more gold - that's not a simple choice. The fighting areas are usually small, like rooms or chambers. Most of the time there's 2-4 enemies in a room. You get bigger arenas when you progress in the game, with 8-10 enemies in them. They're usually both ranged and melee enemies and there's an interesting twist to that - you do more damage to ranged enemies with your melee weapon and more damage to melee enemies with your ranged weapon. So you run, kill, get new abilities and find/buy/craft new equipment. Once you kill everyone (or even before that) you fight the boss and move on to the next level. Do that five times and you start over on a higher difficulty level. The official game description says it features "heavy rogue-like elements" and that's true. When you die, you lose everything. Everything. All abilities, all items, all gold, all experience. You then start again and the map is different and so is your ability tree. The only things that are kept between gameplays are the unlocked difficulty levels and characters - there are 4 of them, only one unlocked at the start. When you get the 4 main abilities in one ability tree unlocked during one play-through (7 level-ups required), you unlock a new character. They have different stats, base skills and starting equipment. Conclusion The first impression was great, I started to like this game straight away. Then I died a bunch of times on the easy difficulty (n00b), so I stopped liking it. But I still wanted to play more, so I did, and I started to like it again. It's worth giving it a chance if you're into hack&slash games and you want to try something new. It doesn't take as much time as the likes of Diablo, you can literally complete the first level in 5 minutes. The further you go, the longer the levels get, but if you get the hang of it you could probably get to the final boss in less than 3 hours. It's simple, it's fresh and it's got that something that makes you want to come back and play a little bit more. Pros - original Indian setting - hard choice between experience and gold - good soundtrack Cons - progression could be more rogue-lite, not rogue-like - the UI (menus, inventory, ability tree) - levels, especially the first ones, could be a little bit bigger/longer For more reviews, follow my Curator page - [url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/31210849-Sublime-Dent/]Sublime Dent .
This game is very fun and has a great story line. Rouglike Replayability is done well, and gameplay feels rewarding. The achievements/unlockables are a great touch, and the free Vengeance Expansion is awesome. The Developers are also just simply great people. Ogre Head is a 2 man team out of India. I bought this game a few days after it came out. My Matricom USB Game Controller was not recognized by the game, which sucked because I didn't want to use M+KB for this game. I emailed the Devs with some log files, and they replied later that day saying they created a Beta version just for me to test out my controller. It worked and they released an update to the main game branch the next day, just to add support for my controller. This is ridiculously amazing, considering the way some Developers (indie or not) won't update their games for major flaws, let alone to support one type of controller. You should buy this game because it is amazing, but you should keep an eye out for all games by Ogre Head, and support the Dev Team. Again, they are great guys and they deserve it.
