Asura's Wrath is an action game developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Capcom, released in February 2012 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game blends elements of Hindu and Buddhist mythology with science fiction.

The main story follows Asura, a god who is betrayed and seeks revenge against the other gods who betrayed him. The storyline is presented in an episodic format, similar to an anime series, complete with opening and closing credits.

The gameplay alternates between third-person combat, a rail shooter, and interactive sequences with quick-time events (QTEs). This unique style has led to the game often being described as "interactive anime," where players control Asura, who uses his rage to defeat massive enemies, similar to the intensity of the boss fights in God of War.

Released in 2007, Ghost Rider is a third-person action game developed by Climax Action for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. It is based on the film of the same name and serves as a semi-sequel.

Players control Johnny Blaze, who transforms into Ghost Rider, using his flaming chains and motorcycle to battle hordes of demons escaping from Hell. The gameplay is often compared to God of War and Devil May Cry due to its focus on dynamic mass combat.

The game's use of chain weapons is very similar to Kratos' Blades of Chaos. While the story is considered generic, the game offers a fun hack and slash experience with the ability to play as other characters, such as Blade, after completing the game.

Conan is an action-adventure game released in 2007, developed by Nihilistic Software and published by THQ for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Players control Conan the Barbarian on a quest to recover his lost armor and defeat an evil sorcerer.

The game is set in the world of Hyboria, created by Robert E. Howard, and features brutal combat against a variety of enemies.

Conan can fight with a sword and shield, two-handed weapons, or a weapon in each hand, and has magical abilities such as turning enemies to stone or summoning a firestorm. The game also includes context-sensitive action sequences (QTEs) to defeat powerful enemies and interact with the environment.

Heavenly Sword is an action-adventure game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3, released in September 2007. The game centers on Nariko, a red-haired heroine who embarks on a mission of revenge.

Nariko wields the titular "Heavenly Sword," which can transform into three different forms (Speed, Range, or Power) depending on the player's attack style. This offers variety in melee combat.

The game also utilizes the PlayStation 3's Sixaxis motion controls for some attacks and puzzles, providing an interactive and unique gaming experience for its time.

Dante's Inferno is an action-adventure game developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts, released in February 2010. The game is loosely based on the first part of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy, entitled Inferno.

The player controls Dante, a Templar knight from the Crusades, who must fight through the nine circles of Hell to rescue his wife, Beatrice, from the clutches of Lucifer.

Dante wields a scythe as his primary weapon, which can be used in various combo attacks, as well as a Holy Cross for projectile attacks.

The game also features magical abilities, beast taming, and a "Holy" or "Unholy" point system based on the player's choice to curse or free enemies, adding depth to the gameplay.
