  • Astral Chain is now out for the Nintendo Switch. This is a new franchise developed by Platinum Games and Published by Nintendo. We have been seeing bits of this game for quite a while now, but finally we can look at the entire game and see how it plays and stacks up against the rest of the Switch line up. So far things are looking good, but is this a must buy for Switch owners?

      Its one of those games that have that very smooth 30fps and I love it. The visuals are quite good too for a switch game. I do really hope therell be a switch pro to experience a higher framerate though, man thatd be a sight.

      JmBrave10 The frame rate is exactly where it should be for what it does as a hybrid system, reason I say this is due to the fact that there isn’t another one out there for you to experience or compare it to.... “Visuals are quite good (for a Switch game)”....assuming you don’t own one? I don’t recall them making a shitty looking exclusive in its 2 year lifespan...

Its what's leading to this writer's block that all these game devs seem to be feeling. Because when a game isnt a spin off or remaster it's either tacky gimmicky or tries to hard to be innovative.

    The 30 fps argument is laughably stupid. Low framerate becomes an issue when it's actually really low, like low 20s, teens etc. 30 fps in an action game is perfectly fine. I've gone from playing God of War 1,2 and 3 at 60fps on ps3 to playing GoW 1 and 2 on the Vita at 30fps and below, and the gameplay difference was literally non-existent.

    After playing it, I kinda hope they'll port nier automata to the switch. Yeah probably 30fps cap but I think the game itself wouldn't look to bad, since it's a pretty empty game (on purpose) and many graphical stuff can be turned down or even off without much change for the user. Like who really needs shadows?

Maybe it's part of their arsenal, sanctioned by law?" Then... "A sister and brother, and his boyfriend, all police. Action-combat, like Kingdom Hearts? No, more DMC or Bayonetta, and investigation elements, similar to the Arkham games." "You know who you be a big help? Platinum Games. They know this combat style best, might as well team up, yeah?" Now here we are, a new IP being released on the Swtich, by a developer I was on the fence about, until now. Bravo, Platinum, you've won over a new fan.

    For me, it's a resounding yes. The gameplay style is cool and awesome and there are a lot of moves and upgrades to be had for the player, Legion and weapons. The anime story setting is quite intriguing though the characters aren't much to write home about. My favorite character would be Lappy/Marie, too much cuteness and sometimes creepiness whenever she shows up. Artwork wise, I always enjoyed Masakazu Katsura's character designs so it's pretty neat seeing the usual looks in a video game. The Legions and Chimeras themselves look cool and have varied designs and the bosses are huge.
