Hey guys, I just made an account today so I could comment here. I'm so happy to hear about others playing Asura's Wrath. When it was first announced, I downloaded all the trailers and watched them over and over. When the demo came out, I didn't like it at all.
Eventually I watched some Let's Plays and thought it was amazing and ordered it off Amazon for really cheap. Love it more than anything, and I'm more into games with complex fighting mechanics like DMC. But Asura's Wrath is still fun. And you can get by with some creativity in combos.
Anyways, two points I wanted to make. I believe the original gameplay design had much more interesting combat as you can see in this TGS 2010 early build. More interactive weapons, and grabs like God of War.

And if you want an in-depth analysis of the artstyle of the game, I stumbled on this site. I found it pretty neat to go through after playing the game.
