Product Description

Platinum Games returns with Astral Chain, a beat 'em up and action adventure game for the Nintendo Switch.

What is Astral Chain about?

Players get to choose between two characters (one male, one female) to engage the action with. Fighting off the alien-like creatures who've arrived from another dimension to pillage the futuristic city of Ark and its people falls into the jurisdiction of the newly-formed police unit Neuron.

The gameplay focuses on more than just intense battles. When not using the game's special weapon The Legion to battle enemy creatures, both characters also engage in rich RPG elements, specifically:

  • Investigations
  • Explorations
