Originally released in 2012, Asura's Wrath is a spectacle fighter where the mythological Asura is betrayed by the Seven Deities, loses his daughter Mithra, and channels infinite rage to tear gods and demigods apart.

CyberConnect2 took direct influence from the structure of anime TV shows; the game is split into 18 episodes, each lasting roughly 20 minutes.
