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]
Astral Chain is set in a somewhat boring and repetitive demon world you have to return to a bit too often, but that’s the only tiny downside to this daring and triumphant new Platinum adventure. It has everything that makes action adventures fun and adds exceptional detective phases that offer a welcome diversion from the wild action.

Otra joya épica de platinum games, que ofrece una jugabilidad totalmente innovadora. Juego no apto para mancos.

Es un Juegazo, deleite visual. Una banda sonora atrapante. Que no te engañen los "ceros" que hayan aqui. Lo mejor es jugarlo y disfrutarlo de primera mano.

Platinum delivers another winner with Astral Chain. Fans of fast-paced action games shouldn’t hesitate to pick this one up.
In the first few hours, I was all over the place when it came to an assessment, as it can take some time to really turn it up.
Astral Chain is PlatinumGames newest adrenaline shot, that's clearly inspired by a lot of previous titles from the studio. It takes the best of out of all those games and delivers a kick-ass adventure that's a must play for the fans.
Astral Chain is one of PlatinumGames' finest acts this generation, cementing itself as yet another stellar exclusive for Nintendo Switch. It doesn't reach the heights of excellence achieved by Yoko Taro's NieR: Automata, but can more than hold its own thanks to an excellent setting, experimental combat and so, so much style it hurts.
It's tough not to consider Astral Chain something of a small disappointment, especially when you know Platinum Games' talent for beat 'em ups. We not only highly commend the fight mechanics in this latest title from Takahashi Taura, but also its universe — original and supported by a high-class artistic direction. However, 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.
This game is arguably one of the best titles the Switch has to offer. Incredible graphics for the console, amazing combat as per Platinum standards, an okay story, memorable characters... From start to finish it's a thrill ride and an emotional rollercoaster. From replaying files to doing the frankly enormous post game, there's a lot of replay value as well. It's a shame nobody really talks about it for some reason...

Astral Chain comes with a cool and innovative combat, that let you mix the controls from 2 characters at the same time providing a good action, this is the most positive point of the game, the characters felt poorly designed and the story could be better. But still, it’s worth the try.

Game would have been an 8 with a better ending. The idea and mechanics otherwise really interesting. Worth a run for sure.

No invulnerability frames, sword mode unprecis, enemy who one shot in last levels, dodge useless, etc...

Spoiler-free.
Most overrated game on Metacritic, probably.
- Story gets only told via text documents and still many things won't get explained.
- Silent protagonist ist super pointless in this scenario.
- Camera movement is borderline broken.
- Fight-System is okay and sometimes fun.
- Graphics are very good for a Switch game.
