    This game, in my opinion, is a gem to play. You do not just fight and go through a story you perform investigations, answers quizzes on what you found, you solve puzzles to get information and to get to new areas. Things you miss due to not having a certain legion are accessible afterwards as you can replay every single level and refight every boss all over again as often as you want.This game, in my opinion, is a gem to play.

Things you miss due to not having a certain legion are accessible afterwards as you can replay every single level and refight every boss all over again as often as you want. There are post-game levels to unlock new items and armors and to challenge yourself. The fighting system is incredible. You can switch weapons mid-attack, chain together sync attacks, have a friend play as either the person OR the legion, and even the legions have their own unique battle abilities. The game takes risks in its style due to it being insanely unique, and it succeeds in every single area. It is easily one of my favorite games at the moment and among the best games i have on SWITCH. Those review bombing it probably have different gaming tastes, aren't used to the battle style because it is new and it is difficult, or simply are salty because it is a SWITCH exclusive. Console wars, how ironic. People get cocky when they have exclusives for their consoles then review bomb a good game because they don't have the console for it. It is hypocritical, moronic and utterly immature. If you don't have it, too bad, GO GET IT! This game is AMAZING. Or, just shut up and go enjoy your other game systems and their exclusives… Expand

Es divertido y entretenido de jugar y en resumen y sin hacer spooilers la historia te atrapa para que no quieras soltar el mando. Hay giros argumentales que no te esperas o que llegan muy pronto y se mantiene siempre ese interés incluso en las misiones más pausadas que son las de investigación. Sin duda, todo un acierto y mezcla de aspectos jugables que lo hacen una magnífica obra de arte.… Expand

    A stunningly beautiful and captivating game. Engaging missions with a variety of different tasks, from the serious to the whimsical. Easy to learn and difficult to master combat with lots of customisation. My single gripe is that you can only manually save in one area, however auto saves are in an abundance so this isn’t too bad.

    I highly suggest going outside and not coming back until you change your mind or come up with a better excuse. Listen; Sony is not your friend. Sony does not appreciate your loyalty. Sony does not reciprocate your feelings. Sony does not mind if you betray them, no matter what. Even if Sony could feel, they'd be utterly disgusted by your Knight Templaring. Sony is just a company that specializes in many things (not just games) represented by a logo that reads "SONY" in a fancy font. Sony cares about their millions -probably billions- of fans, but that's because they're their only source of income, not because they really do love them. They want to please them as much as they can to earn their money. The same can be said of all companies really; even Nintendo. Trying to review bomb the game now not only makes you look like fools, but it gives all companies involved a bad name.

There is so much to do, picking up trash, beating up chimeras or some people, finding cats and some toilets, cleaning the red crystals, stealth missions, mini games, great boss fights, a lot of attacks I as a player can do and great rating system.
    At the start I wanted to play it as much as possible with touching every wall that's available to touch xD
    But with time, my responsibilities came as well and I had to do a bigger break from playing but today I finished it!!

    AWESOME game, music, graphic style, fights, enemy design and game concept overall. Also, I liked length of this game as well, right now I have a little over 40 hours in, but I'm planing to play it more.
    Legions are unique, it's a shame that I cannot pick the order of unlocking them, but when I accepted that I got even more fun out of this game.

    Sword Legion is nice and quite quick, but with light dmg.
    I think that Arm legion is my favourite, it gives the biggest choice of things you can do with it!
    Arrow legion was nice for the "Hit Rush" ability and the ability where I aim with its bow.
    Beast legion was quite weird for me, but when I upgraded it enough, it was fine and useful.
    Axe arrow IS THE SLOWEST LEGION EVER but without its shield I wouldn't be able to beat last file.

    Right now it's my top 1 Nintendo Switch game, it shares the same place with BOTW!    … Expand

    He de decir que no pensaba que el juego estuviera tan bueno, yo soy de jugar más en portátil y el juego se ve hermoso, gran atención al detalle desde el inicio empieza la acción, es muy gratificante ir acoplando se poco a poco al control del juego y la música es hermosa y hace que tengas una gran inmersión en el juego en definitiva gran trabajo de Platinum Games

    Estoy más que contento con este nuevo juego de Platinum Games y Nintendo, tanto el desarrollo de personajes, como la banda sonora y la jugabilidad se me hacen verdaderas obras maestras, un juego con un género adelantado a su época que no sólo se queda en el básico hack and slash sino además hace uso de mecánicas plataformeras y puzzles de detectives, los momentos en el plano astral meEstoy más que contento con este nuevo juego de Platinum Games y Nintendo, tanto el desarrollo de personajes, como la banda sonora y la jugabilidad se me hacen verdaderas obras maestras, un juego con un género adelantado a su época que no sólo se queda en el básico hack and slash sino además hace uso de mecánicas plataformeras y puzzles de detectives, los momentos en el plano astral me hicieron recordar algunos templos de BOTW, realmente este juego es una joya y compra obligada si tienes una switch.… Expand

    excelente jugabilidad, historia y banda sonara, es un juegazo recomendado al 100%, no le hagas caso a los clonyers ardidos que llegan aca dandole cero, los clonyers solo hacen esto por que ven que su kkstation es una basura de consola que nunca en la vida podra tener una joyita como esta

    Obra maestra de platinum game para nintendo switch.
    Se que hay muchos que estan fastidiados por el hecho de que sea exclusivo de nintendo pero eso no quita que sea uno de los mejores juegos de este año sin lugar a duda.

    Really like the gameplay. Played a few Platinum titles but this is by far the best i have played. If i was not a fan before, i am now. Would have preferred a console release bt thank god i have a Switch as well so i was able to play this great game.

    By far, one of the best games I've ever played! One of the most beautiful switch games, it's graphics are simply amazing. The fight system is very joyful and the game graphics cut scenes gives the player a deep immersion. Recommend for sure!

    Este juego sin duda es uno de los mejores que han salido para la Nintendo Switch, muy recomendable para sus usuarios. Para colmo de la hipocresía, varios fanboys de ps4 critican el juego porque va a 30fps a pesar de que muchos de los juegos de la ps4 van también a esa velocidad de frames, incluyendo al god of war que también es un hack and slash y corre a 30fps.

    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.
