10 Most Epic Deaths In Video Game History

7. Asura (Asura's Wrath)

Gears Of War 3 Dom
Capcom

The eponymous Asura takes and dishes out one unholy beating after another throughout this overlooked Capcom classic from 2012, but the game's ending is a bittersweet one as Asura's famous wrath is finally ended, along with his life.

Asura's death was actually only seen in the final DLC episodes released for the game, which saw the rage-fuelled demigod going up against his biggest foe: Chakravartin, the Lord of Creation.

The game's climactic battle is beyond epic as the very fabric of time and space is torn asunder beneath Asura and Chakravartin's mighty blows and energy blasts. In a game filled with ludicrous fight scenes, the final clash makes even the craziest anime battles look like playground brawls.

Just as Asura is about to deal the final blow to his nemesis, his daughter, Mithra, pleads with him to stop, reminding him that by killing Chakravartin, Asura will also be destroyed. Nevertheless, the hero decides to finish the fight once and for all so that Mithra can finally live in safety.
