Astral Chain - Nintendo Switch

Humanity’s last hope in the face of an interdimensional invasion is not a mere weapon, but a living entity known as the Legion. As a novice officer in the prestigious police task force Neuron, you are entrusted with this Legion. Together, you form an unbreakable bond, working in unison to solve intricate cases and safeguard humanity from impending doom. ASTRAL CHAIN, a groundbreaking action game from PlatinumGames, offers you the unique experience of controlling two characters simultaneously, creating an exhilarating Synergetic Action. This innovative gameplay allows you to switch between various Legion types and utilize their distinct skills, offering you the freedom to save the world in your own unique style.

The game features character designs by the renowned manga artist Masakazu Katsura, known for his work on ZETMAN and Video Girl Ai. His artistic brilliance breathes life into the characters, making them relatable and memorable. ASTRAL CHAIN also marks the directorial debut of Platinum Games’ Takahisa Taura, the creative mind behind the design of NieR:Automata. The game benefits from the supervision of Hideki Kamiya, the director of the Bayonetta game and writer/supervisor of the Bayonetta 2 game, ensuring a high-quality gaming experience.

Set in the Ark, a multicultural city of the future, ASTRAL CHAIN plunges you into a world where disaster strikes as gates to another dimension suddenly appear. These gates unleash dangerous creatures that start attacking the people and polluting the land. The normal police forces are powerless against these creatures. As a member of the special police task force equipped with sentient armaments called Legions, it’s your job to protect the survivors of this massive global disaster.

In this brand-new action game, you control the protagonist and a Legion simultaneously, chaining stylish combos. You can change Legions on the fly to vary your style and unleash a variety of abilities. The fate of the last remnants of humanity rests on your shoulders. To save the world, you must investigate its dark side.

Explore a near-future cyberpunk metropolis, solving crimes and witnessing the struggle of the last remnants of humanity. As you save the world from extradimensional invaders called chimeras, you’ll also interact with citizens, question suspects, and team up with members of your task force to solve cases. Utilizing the abilities of Legions will be necessary in these investigations; you may need to track the scent of a missing person or subdue aggressive criminals!

Beyond the last land left to humanity lies the Astral Plane, the alternate dimension from which the chimeras invade. As you explore its labyrinthine corridors, you must use your Legions to solve environmental puzzles and expose the secrets of this strange realm.
