Description

ASTRAL CHAIN, a brand new action game from PlatinumGames!The few survivors of a massive global disaster gather together in a futuristic megacity. Now it’s your job to protect them against otherworldly invaders–but you’re not alone as a member of a special police task force equipped with sentient armaments called Legions. In this brand-new action game from PlatinumGames, control the protagonist and a Legion simultaneously to chain stylish combos. Change Legions on the fly to vary your style and unleash a variety of abilities. The last remnants of humanity depend on you, and to save the world, you must investigate its dark side. Explore a near-future cyberpunk metropolis, solving crimes and seeing how the last remnants of humanity struggle to survive. As you save the world from extradimensional invaders called chimeras, you’ll also interact with citizens, question suspects, and team up with members of your task force to solve cases. Utilizing the abilities of Legions will be necessary in these investigations; you may need to track the scent of a missing person or subdue aggressive criminals! Beyond this last land left to humanity lies the Astral Plane, the alternate dimension from which the chimeras invade. As you explore its labyrinthine corridors, you must use your Legions to solve environmental puzzles and expose the secrets of this strange realm.

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!

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.

Astral Chain casts you as the elder sibling of a set of twins raised by a cop in a post apocalyptic setting. The titular Astral chain binds you to one of the creatures that caused the apocalypse, giving you a chance to fight back. You spend time in the game as a police officer, investigating crimes and disturbances, protecting the last of humanity from alien horrors as well as themselves. The combat is fluid and interesting, and you soon find yourself controlling your character and your leashed monster worth ease, pulling off flashy combos as you explore the world. I haven't finished the game yet, but would definitely recommend it to any action rpg fan.

The game was supervised by Hideki Kamiya, the Creator of Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Bayonetta, & The Wonderful 101 (which is getting a remaster in May for Switch, PS4, & Steam), so you know it’s gonna be good! It’s been a while since I’ve played the game because I’ve moved on to other ones, but the best way to explain this is that it’s kind of like if Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (or Persona since the designs look more like that than Jojo) got another game adaptation in the form of what you see in DMC, Bayonetta, or Nier
