    Anime Cops Done to Perfection

    This game has it all. A high speed chase that is one of the best openings to any game I’ve played, fun versatile combat, entertaining co-op, investigations what will make you think out of the box and a thrilling story involving different dimensions, missing persons, a ton of mechanic adversaries and more. Game of the year along with Luigis Mansion 3 for me.

    PLATINUM Has done it once again

    I went into this game with high expectations and it surpassed my wildest dreams! Right from the start you are thrown in to a beautiful game with steady frame rate in hand held mode on the NINTENDO SWITCH! I can’t forget to mention that the game sound and music were immersive and relaxing! I played this game half in handheld and the other half docked!! Best game in about 30 hours! Can’t wait to replay soon!

    great switch exclusive

    i been playing this game for hours and i like it. i love the art style, the controls are great and feels good and the gameplay is awesome. there is a learning curve to get through at first and once you get past that the game is a blast to play. it's great on dock mode and port mode and i use both when i'm at home i go dock and i'm out i play portable. the one thing people should know is that this is a deep action game. if you put it down and don't play for a couple of days you will forget the game controls. it's that type of game. be aware of that. i miss the days when all you need to remember is the A button to shoot and the B button to jump. these days actions are so complicated you need to know how to code to understand how to play it. j/k of course, but you know what i mean. if you like action games and you are a switch owner you cannot past up Astral Chain. it's a must buy at best buy ;)
