    Great game, with deep and evolving combat. Don’t listen to the babies giving this game a zero, they haven’t played it, and think it’s unfair that if Nintendo pays for and helps the development process, it should be a console exclusive. If you have a switch, go out and buy this game, you will not be disappointed.

    El juego es hermoso, es sorprendente que este tipo de juego con la potencia de switch pueda ir fluido cuando se necesita y la característica de la portabilidad le añade mucho más a este juegazo.El diseño de los personajes es genial y personalmente me agrada mucho, solo espero que esta nueva IP siga con nuevos títulos y pueda ofrecer muchas novedades al mundo del gaming.

    One of the best Switch games period.
    If you like Anime and action games like Bayonetta or Devil May Cry, this is the game for you.
    The story is really varied and the combat has a lot of depth. Easy to play but hard to master.
    Add a lot of replay value and you've got one of those games that you will get back to for a lot of time.

Combates bien logrados, efectos alucinantes, el techo gráfico de nintendo Switch sin duda alguna, fluidez, originalidad, soundtracks de primera línea. Hack and Slash, con aventura y sistema RPG, combates profundos y muy entretenidos, superando a sagas como Devil May Cry. Variedad de enemigos, bastante complejo y muchas horas de diversión aseguradas, además todos los detalles bien cuidados, puedes ir hasta al baño, botar la basura en su lugar, cruzar las calles solo con el semáforo peatonal en verde. Impresionante en todos los niveles y además también portátil o cooperativo, sistema de mejoras para las legiones en fin toda una joya.
    Lastima que la comunidad se ha vuelto tan tóxica, los fanboys de Sony encabezando y han llegado hasta la prensa, personas que le dan mejor puntuación a los gráficos de Mario party que a este que está a años luz, personas que dicen que 30Fps son malos cuando Spiderman, Horizon, God of War y Uncharted 4 van a los mismos 30fps y los consideran obras maestras... Prensa tóxica e ignorante en el área de videojuegos, lo mejor siempre será consultar con expertos multiconsolas.

    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.

    Great game. The action is exactly what youd expect from a hack and slash game. It has a good story and the gameplay is amazing, my personal game of the year so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played this game and returned it the next day for less than half of what I payed because I don't like tedious button mashing, I don't like long time to kills, and i especially don't like playing a grunting sidekick who has to kill his/her own sibling(who is the actual hero).
    What's more, I don't like professional Nintendo review sites saying people giving this game a low score are jealous because they don't have Switches. I do but that doesn't mean I have to like this game. If it weren't for the M.S.M. I never would have left this review to refute them. Good job!    … Expand

    Très bon jeu avec un gameplay adictif qui a plusieurs phases ainsi qu'une histoire bien construite qui ne nous laisse pas en plein désarroi sans rien comprendre mais qui nous laisse assez de place pour faire ses théorie durant cette dernière.

    C'est un jeu que je conseil et que j'adore.

    One of the best games of 2019, I played Bayonetta and other Platinum games, but Astral Chain gameplay is something new and fresh. Thanks to the design by Masakazu Katsura The visual result is really amazing on Nintendo Switch. Really addictive!

    Imagine not owning both ps4 and switch in 2019. Get a job and buy em both, you sweaty lobotomites. While you're sucking the cocks of your corporate overlords, they're probably chilling and having a beer with eachother because they give as many **** as they do about your pathetic existence.

    Greaaaat a couple of tasteless, salty losers come and destroy a great game's user score.....AGAIN. Don't believe the lies of a couple of sausage finger morons who suck at the game and therefore qualify it as bad. It's a fantastic piece of art. It's fun, rich, interesting, it's everything you want from an action RPG. Enjoy it !

    Fantastic game! It is a shame that haters want to try and review bomb due to platform, but all they are doing is drawing even more attention to the game. I am about 10 hours in at the time of writing this, and so far it is a front runner for GotY for me personally.

    It's just an all around good game that makes a ton of stupid non switch owners / crybabies to get a temper tantrum.

    I am giving Astral Chain a solid 9 out of 10. It's not perfect perfect but it's perfect — one or two things I wish they'd implemented would be the possibility to freely explore the city. But that's really a point I would have loved. Besides that, the game play is smooth. I didn't encounter any real fps drops. I am playing AC in dock mode so cannot say anything about the performance inI am giving Astral Chain a solid 9 out of 10.

    The music, oh how I LOVE the music in this game. Platinum Games used some fragments of their previous games like NieR and that's just awesome — bringing back memories of a game while playing another game.    … Expand

    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.
