This game is everything I've wanted in over the top action beyond high level monk play. The storytelling was well done, the action was intense and enjoyable, and the fact that Hindu Mythology blended perfectly with science fiction made my heart BURST! with joy like a full meter preparing to take on a Gohma of immense size.
The sequel hook is awesome.
A hope based on the WMG section from TVTropes:
I hope that Durga does reincarnate, and comes back 'wrong', so the sequel, instead of being Asura's Wrath 2, is instead Kali's Wrath. After all Kali is an aspect of Durga, and given how reincarnation has worked thus far, along with the return trips from Naraka? It would be freakin' sweet. And if she comes back as Kali, she and Asura can be a Battle Couple, while Asura pines for his sweet, gentle wife to return to how she used to be and comes into conflict with his own rage.

Anyone else played it? Anyone not as thrilled as I am with it?
I'll make sure to keep all spoilers to myself then - but I will say that I absolutely loved every second of it.
However, I'm about to put that love to the test by trying to play through on Hard mode, as I did my first run on Normal.
