    The combat system is unique and very innovative but at times a bit frustrating due to its slower pace and a worse dodging mechanic than what's used in the Bayonetta series. What makes this game really stand out though are the graphics and the great Blade Runner-like environmnents, the well made action, the characters, the story that keeps you interested enough and the investigation scenes.The combat system is unique and very innovative but at times a bit frustrating due to its slower pace and a worse dodging mechanic than what's used in the Bayonetta series.

    Joguei o Astral Chain por 3 horas e já considero um dos melhores jogos disponíveis no switch. As batalhas são bem elaboradas e frenéticas, a historia também é legal e te cativa a continuar jogando. Em minha opinião é quase uma obrigação ter esse jogo se você tiver um switch

Most of all the Combat is 10/10. lucky for me in Australia I got my copy a couple days early :) I've put 25hrs in on first play through barely slept now I'm ready for higher difficulty! Lets GO.

    A lot of bad reviews because of fanboys being butthurt that this game is a Nintendo Switch exclusive. Don't listen to them.
    That being said, I would like to remind everyone that exclusives are bad for the video game industry and it would be better if every console/platform got every game, that being said, much like with Spider-Man PS4, if Nintendo is the sole reason this game exists it

    As for my opinion, this game is pretty good, graphics and more importantly animations are nice and fluid, combat, while a bit shallow works really well and is loads of fun and the soundtrack and -effects are also really good. However, one actual criticism I have with this game is the most important part, the FPS. While it is not impossible to play the game at 30, it would've been a lot nicer if it were 60 FPS, even if they would've had to downgrade the graphics in order to do so, but like always, say it with me now, graphics in video games don't matter as long as the gameplay is good!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Durante muchos años, el poder de la Alquimia regía el mundo de Weyard. Gracias al descubrimiento de ese poder, la humanidad alcanzó la cima de la civilización y el conocimiento. Pero a la vez que el conocimiento y la sabiduría crecían, también lo hacían los sueños y ambiciones. Sueños de conquista, de guerra, de poder ilimitado y de vida eterna. En consecuencia, se empezó a abusar de la Alquimia. Todas estas aspiraciones habrían arrasado Weyard de no ser por unos sabios expertos que sellaron este poder en lo más profundo de las entrañas del Templo Sonne, dentro del Monte Aleph. La consecuencia de esto fue que las luces de los Faros Elementales se extinguieron. Tras esto, Weyard se vio privado de su energía elemental y se empezó a destruir a sí mismo poco a poco, empezando por el norte. Esto provocó el caos en la aldea más boreal de Weyard, Prox, gobernada por el Clan Marte del Norte. Un grupo de emisarios guerreros del Clan Marte del Norte, son enviados por Puel (alcalde de Prox) y el anciano sabio de la aldea, con la misión de informar a los habitantes de Weyard (empezando por los taleanos) sobre el peligro que se cierne sobre el mundo si la luz de los cuatro faros elementales (Mercurio, Venus, Júpiter y Marte) no vuelve a concentrarse en el monte Aleph, ya que mucho tiempo atrás, sus luces fueron selladas para evitar que el ser humano destruyese Weyard, al acumular todo el poder que la Alquimia guarda tras de sí. Entre estos guerreros emisarios estaban Saturos y Menardi, conocidos en Prox por ser los más fuertes. Nadie en Tale les creyó. Expand

    I also really like the story (I'm currently on chapter 08). The hub between levels doesn't feel time-wastey, but actually a chance to learn more about the npcs and discover items (like in Fire Emblem: Three Houses).

    The customization options, like the UI coloring, are also very appreciated. The music is fantastic, too! Very prog house / techno.

    The graphics look amazing on my 65" 4k tv. I typically use my PS4 Pro and switch in handheld mode, but I don't feel like this experience misses anything. The art style just looks great and compensates for any hardware limitations. Worth buying a switch for IMO.

    I feel that Astral Chain is a strong contender for one of the best games of 2019.

Platinum Games has found yet another way to revolutionize combat in action games, and this begins with the concept of the Legion. One can jokingly describe the Legion as a Persona or a Stand, but what makes Legions stand out is that you can freely swap between five of them, adding new layers of versatility and strategy to every fight. The musical score is expertly made, including a final boss theme that may be in my top five video game songs ever created. Even in casual mode the enemies can provide a significant challenge at times. There is one detriment to this game, and it's that a lot of the characters aren't written that greatly. Obviously Jena and Yoseph are standouts but a lot of the others are just kind of there. I would have loved the player character to have some voice lines and a real personality, but at the end of the day this IS an action game. And if you're looking for a fast-paced, high-stakes, incredibly inventive action game, look no further than Platinum's newest masterpiece. Expand

    Great game, I'd rate it somewhere between 8 and 9 giving it a 10 just because of this obnoxious mob of mad nintendo haters who cannot get over the game's exclusivity on the switch

    The fights are the best I've seen but they are better in the last operations and also the story is very good check and it hooks you a lot.

    Increible diseño de personajes, jugabilidad precisa y bastante fluida. La historia es fácil de entender y muy entretenida, este sin duda alguna uno de los mejores juegos para switch ya sea en el apartado gráfico, cómo en la jugabilidad.

    What can be said about this incredible game that hasn't been said already. If you're on the fence about it just take the plunge and get it, I promise you wont regret it. Truly another masterpiece from Platinum and Nintendo

    Yeah. So. It’s pretty sick. If you like Plat you know what you’re getting. Some over the top anime bullsh*t and top notch fighting. That’s what play does, and they do it well. But they’ve also excelled in all other areas of world building and other mechanics that they’ve experimented with in this game, making the whole package a blast to play.

    Es un juego excelente, gráficamente, banda sonora, narrativa dura 10 horas aproximadamente, claro si te vas de un solo a la historia principal sin hacer misiones secundarias pese a ser por capítulos y lineal da la sensación de ser semi mundo abierto puesto que se tiene bastante libertad en los escenarios... Me parece un juego de calidad mucho mas que otros exclusivos de la plataforma

    one of the best games that platinum published, and one of the best exclusive games on switch.
    I highly recommend it to everyone who got a switch.

    Demasiado genial, muy entretenido, el estilo visual y las gráficas una belleza, que triste de verdad a los idiotas que se ponen como mocosos de 3 años a poner un cero.

    Astral Chain easily rises to Platinum's best work. Fantastic story with nods to Neon Genesis Evangelion, with an amazing combat system that only gets more fluid and more adaptable as the game progresses. Beautiful visuals and a nearly locked framerate round out the stellar job Platinum has done on this Nintendo Switch Exclusive game.

    Como me arrepiento de no habermelo comprado de salida, es un puto juegazo! Me encantaría que hubiese una secuela porque tiene mucho mas que dar.

    Muy buena la jugabilidad y todo,me encanto la historia muy buen juego la verdad no tomes en cuenta opiniones sobre el frame rate ya que es muy retrasado hablar sobre eso teniendo en cuenta que es una tablet muy pequeña a comparacion de otros.

    Fantastic, stylish game. Plus, I need to counter the 0 spammers so the user score is as truthful as possible. Please, stop giving games poor reviews simply because you cannot play them or hate the company they are exclusive to: it is not only disrespectful to all of the people who spent countless hours making the game, but it also literally reduces the profits they see for their labor byFantastic, stylish game.

    Astral Chain is the game of the year. And the best game Platinum has ever made.

    J U E G A Z O! Este juego representa la perfecta unión que siempre se da cuando Platinum Games y Nintendo se unen, un hack and slash con toques de investigación que le otorga personalidad al juego y una banda sonora espectacular. El apartado artístico es de 10, los gráficos exprimen al máximo la Nintendo Switch. Los que lloran tanto deberían comprarse una Switch y dejar de hatear.

    This game is sick AF. The never before seen combat style and animation, the awesome story and side quest, as well as the Legions are amazing! Definitely my GOTY contender along with Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Nintendo is GETTING it this year! Imaging not owning a switch in 2019 lol.

    This one is more of a crowd-pleaser than a game-changer. [Issue #42 – October 2019, p. 68]

    Astral Chain consists of varied genres, but is mostly an action game, which has great ideas and interesting, relaxed humour, that doesn´t spoil its serious plot. [Issue#298]

    Despite the hardware limitations and a handful of odd design choices, Astral Chain is one of the best new IPs to hit in recent years and one deserving the attention of every Switch owner.
