    como veo en los comentarios que hay muchos Sonyer Ardidos por que esta joya no salga en su querida PLEY vienen y le dan 0 pero yo le doy 10+ un 100 o un 1000 si pudiera por que? simple el juego es expectacular y el que vaya a 30 fps no es sinonimo de que el juego sea malo lo malo son los que comentan que es lamentable jugar un hack and slash a 30 esos si dan pena.

    Es triste como Sony no tuvo ni medio juego este año, no por nada a falta de juegos, sus jugadores vienen a por los que sí tenemos juegos a hatear
    No hay como refutarme, sus notas demuestran la rabia que le tienen a Nintendo, y queda irrefutablemente demostrado
    Siento pena por ustedes pero no puedo hacer nada para que Sony haga juegos

    This game is amazing! Don't listen to these Sony fanboys (I'm ashamed cuz I am a Sony fanboy too). Its one of the best action games from this generation. Is it better than Nier Automata? Probably not, but it is still a 9, 10/10 game. If you own a Nintendo and like PlatinumGames, this is a must buy.

    No game is perfect, but this one is pretty darn fun. Dazzling graphics with a very unique Blade-Runner-meets-Naruto color palette, fun and varied combat that give me a Devil-May-Cry-meets-Vanquish feeling; fun side- and main-quests, just an overall joy to play, especially in couch mode on a big screen.

Astral Chain hails in at being easily Platinum Studios best game to date. While seemingly dropping their usual humor, (not to say it doesn’t have jokes), and opting for a more story driven experience seemed to be the right move for the new IP. While admittedly, I haven’t finished the game yet, it’s given me the drive too. I haven’t felt like this game is a chore, even with the small missions here and there within the story missions themselves. While technically yes, the missions are linear, having those small side missions help to fill the void of a missing over world, it helps create the illusion that the missions themselves aren’t linear, and it definitely helps to create a more living world within the one which Platinum has created. The only real negatives I have had this thus far with Astral Chain is that the voices are not the same speed as the subtitles, which can be a little distracting at some points, but it definitely does not ruin the experience. The story has been well crafted to where it actually builds upon and finish plots, it takes its time getting us used to our characters and gives us the opportunity to learn more about them individually if we so please, and this being a story drive game, that is a huge bonus. A strong point Astral Chain has on its side is that it’s combat feels rewarding. You struggle at first, trying to learn tricky but tight controls, and eventually learn to grow and get better with the character you choose to play as. While learning and progressing, you can physically tell the protagonist becomes more confident in who they are and what they can do by the way the story is presented, which is really cool in my defense. Gaining access to other powers along the way is a nice way to keep battles fresh, it literally lets you decide what move set you’re most comfortable with. On top of different move sets, the game offers you different play styles (easy, medium, or hard), and tons of customization options, from the hud color, to outfits/outfit color, to legion color, different abilities and skills to equip... you can literally have hours of fun experimenting with what the game gives you. Astral Chain is definitely a hidden gem. If you love Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, definitely consider picking this Nintendo Exclusive up. Whether you play it at home, or on the go, its definitely an adventure worth the experience. I can’t wait to get more of this game. If it gets enough love and attention to garner a sequel, then by all means make it an open world, that’s what would make this one perfect. Nintendo’s choice to partner up with Platinum is definitely a choice that keeps on giving.… Expand

    it's an acceptable game, the overall game is pulled down somewhat by a structure of missions that doesn't match the studio's desire to mix the beat 'em up and investigative genres, and further by large approximations and other technical problems — all of which have a significant impact on the enjoyment of the game.

    I've played this game for like 8 hours and it is already one of the best platinum games to date.

    The game starts slow: they even take away part of your moveset and it feels a bit simple at the start, but oh boy, if the game doesn't pick up after 1 hour, and it gets better and more complex, every 2 hours.

    The cop investigations, the details, the secrets, this game is worth every dollar.

    This game has a lot going for it. On the aesthetic side the art design is awesome and the music is all bangers. The combat is a little complex but fun once you get the hang of it. There are lots of options for character customization too. All in all a solid game.

    However this game is a must buy for any switch owner!    … Expand

    Platinum and Nintendo once again outdo themselves with Astral Chain, after the succes of Bayonetta 2. Perfect pacing and mix of gameplay make this game worth your time and money. Breathtaking visuals , outstanding audio, and no damn loot boxes! Do not miss it and play it as soon as possible!

    Es uno de los mejores juegos en el catálogo de Nintendo Switch.

    La jugabilidad es excelente , historia y desarrollo progresivo de experiencia con el jugador,y los gráficos también son muy buenos. Los 30FPS ni se notan, como también en 30 FPS los tuvo el Spiderman de PS4, o el GOW de Playstation, es un claro candidato a juego del año

    Honestly this game is not perfect but any user review below a 6 is just trolling the game because of console fanboyism. I personally feel that this is easily one of Platinum's most creative action games yet with an insane anime plot (that's a good thing) and a unique combat system. I REALLY dig the fact that the attack button is on the left trigger and that there is no jump button.

I REALLY dig the fact that the attack button is on the left trigger and that there is no jump button. It is a mild Souls influence that helps separate this game from the rest of Platinum's long list of action games.
    Finally, I didn't realize that you could customize your character because I avoided most of the pre-release hype. I was very pleased to see that I could pick the female and turn her into a pink haired waifu ;)    … Expand

The gameplay is great once you understand how to control yourself and your legion.

    Never played, but giving a 10 to raise the score.
    Pls don't give a game a low score just cuz it's exclusive to a platform. Platinum isn't responsable for it's exclusivity, you should be complaining to Nintendo instead

    This game is fantastic. It's honestly like an 8 for me, but I have to give it a 10 because of all the butthurt fans review bombing it because they have nothing to play. PC/switch is the way to go.

    Update: review bombers have been spotted and handled so I'm giving the score a 9 because it's really like an 8.5 for me. Still more to play though

    I'm only in the first chapters, but it is one of the best game on switch. A good story telling and a really good and fun gameplay. The mechanics are simple but with the legions you can do a lot of things

    La calidad de la jugabilidad es alta, para jugadores que de verdad quieran retos en cuestión de los controles.
    El apartado gráfico esta muy bien logrado y aprovecha al máximo los componentes de la Nintendo switch, me parece que aprovecharon muy bien el hardware.

    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.
