Awoken by a voice after 12,000 years, Asura vows revenge on all those who have betrayed him, and to reclaim his daughter.
With everyone turning against him, Asura is stripped of all his powers and defeated, and banished from Heaven down to Naraka. In the middle of the commotion, Asura's wife Durga is murdered and his darling daughter Mithra is abducted by the Guardian Generals. Asura's comrades, the other seven Guardian Generals, were behind it all. But this tranquility is shattered during the victory celebration, by the assassination of the Emperor of Shinkoku and the blame of the crime is placed on Asura. Thus, Shinkoku enjoyed a brief moment of peace. Asura and his comrades ultimately led the Shinkoku Army to victory over Gohma Vlitra, the source of all Gohma, after many bloody, hard-fought battles. Their only hope lies with the demigods.Įight demigods known as " The Eight Guardian Generals" battled to protect civilization from the destructive force of Gohma. Virtually powerless, humankind is at the mercy of daily attacks by the Gohma. Monstrous creatures borne of defiled land instinctively attack demigods, humankind, and civilization itself. The upper class, known as demigods, rule over humankind in a strict hierarchial society.īut even the great demigods of this world have a vexing problem - the Gohma. It is a hybrid civilization melding modern industrial technology with spiritualism and religion.
Long ago, the mighty nation of Shinkoku Trastrium, sole super power and center of civilization, dominates the world. According to the game's producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, Asura's Wrath takes elements from Hindu and Buddhist mythologies and blends them with science fiction.
