Another classic action game from Platinum that’s so full of ideas it seems fit to burst and yet everything not only works perfectly but is filled with an infectious sense of goofy fun.

Astral Chain is a unique and beautiful game that excels at what it’s trying to do. It’s one of the best games of the year so far, and it makes me excited to see what the studio will come up with next.

Astral Chain is a brilliant action adventure game, with everything you could expect from a PlatinumGames title: fast and deep combat, rich visuals and a surprising story that reminds us of Nier Automata.

3DNews	Иван Бышонкoв	9.5 / 10	09-07-2019	Astral Chain is one of the most unusual and awesome games of this year. It has incredible and deep battle system, nice plot and a huge variety of missions, most of which use unique mechanics. This game will suck your free time like a black hole.	Read review
AnaitGames	Víctor Manuel Martínez García	8 / 10	08-26-2019	A truly creative and intense hack and slash-RPG hybrid, with a magnificent combat system and sadly irregular exploration scenes.	Read review
Areajugones	Unknown	9.5 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is one of the best experiences of the genre for Nintendo Switch. PlatinumGames has been able to revitalize the gameplay and take complexity and sensations one step further than in previous works of the study.	Read review
Atomix	Alberto Desfassiaux	96 / 100	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is a reminder of why this form of entertainment is so special.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	Dean James	4.5 / 5 stars	09-09-2019	While fans are waiting for Bayonetta 3 to finally come out, PlatinumGames has released yet another gem on a Nintendo platform with one of their best and most entertaining combat systems to date in Astral Chain.	Read review
BaziCenter	Danial Karimi Tar	9.5 / 10	09-16-2019	Astral Chain is one of the best Hack ‘n’ Slash titles in recent years and a reliable asset for Nintendo to help them in Console war.	Read review
But Why Tho?	Charles Hartford	8 / 10	09-05-2019	Astral Chain carves a niche for itself in the stylish action genre through its diverse gameplay options and unique two-character controls.	Read review
Cerealkillerz	Unknown	8.5 / 10	08-25-2019	Besides a lack in meaningful detective/police quests you’ll get the usual high quality gameplay mix from the studio that fans would expect (If you give the game enough time)	Read review
CGMagazine	Cole Watson	9.5 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is a fantastic character action game that reimagines the subgenre at its core with a completely original and immensely satisfying combat system	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	Justin White	Recommended	08-26-2019	…an impressive, gorgeous and ludicrous game that provides hours of enjoyment.	Read review
COGconnected	Stephan Adamus	91 / 100	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is an excellent action game that uses the Switch’s unique hardware in creative ways. It fits handsomely in PlatinumGames’ excellent catalog and should satisfy anyone who likes Japanese action RPGs, or third-person action games. It is a wholly satisfying experience.	Read review
Critical Hit	Alessandro Barbosa	8 / 10	08-27-2019	Astral Chain is one of Platinum Games’ most complex and satisfying action games to date, with combat that’s suitably fast but far more purposeful and careful in execution. Its gorgeous world and enticing premise are betrayed by an uninteresting story and characters, but there’s little else to fault when you’re teaming up with your legions and solving cases across different dimensions.	Read review
Cubed3	Renan Fontes	10 / 10	09-04-2019	Home to an incredibly immersive world and the best combat on the Nintendo Switch, Astral Chain is a must-play not only for fans of the genre, but the medium as a whole. It is a title that understands the importance of balancing gameplay, story, and style without ever sacrificing substance for anything else. It’s more accessible than most PlatinumGames titles without ever having to compromise its core mechanics. The slower start may alienate potential fans but sticking with Astral Chain leads to a surprisingly thematic script, incredibly deep combat, and what might be Platinum’s best game to date.	Read review
Daily Mirror	James Ide	4 / 5 stars	08-29-2019	Astral Chain balances smart yet exciting combat and rewarding mechanics with slower, more thoughtful investigation elements and fun exploration.	Read review
Darkstation	Elijah Gonzalez	4.5 / 5 stars	09-11-2019	Astral Chain feels like the culmination of Platinum Games’ work, combining sleek character-action gameplay with well-defined progression mechanics, a striking world, and more than a few memorable moments.	Read review
DASHGAMER.com	Dan Rizzo	10 / 10	09-06-2019	Where we’re treated to true cinematic experiences across all major platforms, that deliver some of the most expansive worldliness that can only be achieved by a plethora of untapped potential in gaming. This is it.	Read review
Destructoid	Chris Carter	9 / 10	08-26-2019	Whatever criticism you can throw at Astral Chain, you can’t say it isn’t unique. 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. But when it does it just clicks, and I don’t want to stop playing it.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Eric Layman	8.5 / 10	07-22-2017	Astral Chain is the latest and most accomplished model of PlatinumGames’ ability to combine stylish action with player agency and accessibility. Exhausted storytelling and haphazard platforming also continue to underline their limitations. If Nier: Automata sought balance between power and ambience, Astral Chain finds power in power. It’s a pure, grandiose spectacle.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Matt Sainsbury	4 / 5 stars	08-27-2019	Astral Chain is both beautiful and mesmerising. You’re not likely to come across a better action gameplay system for quite some time – likely until PlatinumGames’ own next effort. Truly this is a developer that understands the principles of movement in action better than any, and while its games might struggle in other areas to meet the brilliance of the action, every second with that action is satisfying, exciting, and a very pure form of entertainment.	Read review
DualShockers	Tomas Franzese	10 / 10	09-05-2019	PlatinumGames’ Astral Chain is the most innovative action games in years and certainly one of the best games of 2019.	Read review
Easy Allies	Ben Moore	4 / 5 stars	09-13-2019	Despite a meager story, Astral Chain is still packed with incredible action.	Read review
Echo Boomer	David Fialho	Recommended	09-08-2019	Astral Chain ends up being a mixure of genres in an action game quite hard to define but easy to qualify: Explosive, frenetic and hella fun.	Read review
EGM	Reid McCarter	8 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is loud, brash, exciting, and, in the end, a warning about the dangers of unquestioned loyalty. Its hyperkinetic action sequences and colorful characters might make the game seem like it isn’t interested in offering more than intricately designed fights and a straightforward genre story, but stick around for its entirety and its cast of 2070s police officers show themselves to be more than just cartoon cut-outs of sci-fi cops.	Read review
Eurogamer	Martin Robinson	Recommended	08-26-2019	Sprawling, varied and constantly stylish, Astral Chain is a very different breed of action game that ranks with Platinum’s best.	Read review
Everyeye.it	Marco Mottura	9 / 10	08-26-2019	As it is Astral Chain is still a massive exclusive and one of the best video games of 2019: not bad for an absolute debut!	Read review
FNintendo	Nuno Nêveda	9 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain may be a game that combines action and RPG elements in an excellent way but merely stating this would be a serious understatement. Nearly everything in Astral Chain drips with quality, labour and dedication, from its intense and frantic combats to the exquisite art style and wonderful soundtrack, this is without any doubt the finest new IP to reach the Nintendo Switch and another reminder of why Platinum Games deserves all the praise it can get.	Read review
Game Informer	Andrew Reiner	9 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is fun from start to finish, and gives the player plenty to chew on in terms of side missions and post-game content	Read review
Game Revolution	Jason Faulkner	4.5 / 5 stars	09-16-2019	Astral Chain is a unique and beautiful game that excels at what it’s trying to do. It’s one of the best games of the year so far, and it makes me excited to see what the studio will come up with next.	Read review
Gameblog	Filipe Da Silva Barbosa	8 / 10	08-26-2019	Occuring in a beautiful anime setting, Astral Chain is a real treat for the players. The gameplay mechanics, focused on the link between the main character and its Legions, are really engaging, but only in solo mode unfortunately. With this game, PlatinumGames confirm their status as masters in Beat’em all games making.	Read review
GameGrin	Francis Kenna	8 / 10	09-16-2019	As it is now, Astral Chain is a great action game with a few blemishes. It might not be perfect, but it should be a high priority for any Switch owners, and fans of the action genre as a whole.	Read review
GameMAG	Unknown	9 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is an another victory of PlatinumGames, which did not copy the usual formula of Devil May Cry and tried to do something new. The emphasis on adventure, interesting story, stylish action, unusual battle system and atmospheric locations are capturing all your attention. It is not just what the fans were waiting for, it is even more than that.	Read review
Gameplanet	Billy Atman	9 / 10	08-29-2019	Astral Chain is one of the most exciting new IPs I’ve played in years. From its stunning combat design to its gorgeous visuals, it packs a punch in almost every area. Combat feels incredible and the Legions add a huge amount of options to how you tackle any given battle. Some may fault the game for its more quiet moments and investigations, but the contrast they offer to the frantic action, feels near-perfect in its execution.	Read review
Gamers Heroes	Johnny Hurricane	9 / 10	09-02-2019	Platinum delivers another winner with Astral Chain. Fans of fast-paced action games shouldn’t hesitate to pick this one up.	Read review
Gamersky	Unknown	8.8 / 10	09-06-2019	Astral Chain is Platinum’s best action game in recent years. It perfectly melts action and RPG elements together, and of course, it worth playing for multiple times. If you love action games, don’t miss it.	Read review
GameSkinny	diegoarguello	8 / 10	09-10-2019	Astral Chain is a new IP that feels like a must have for Nintendo Switch users looking for a new hack-slash to dive into	Read review
GameSpot	Michael Higham	8 / 10	08-26-2019	Nintendo Switch exclusive Astral Chain elevates the stylish action genre with an inventive, gratifying combat system and an unrelenting sense of style.	Read review
GameXplain	Unknown	Recommended	08-26-2019	Video Review	Read review
GamingBolt	Billy Givens	9 / 10	09-02-2019	Astral Chain constantly impresses with its enthralling premise, frenetic action, and abundance of content. Even in its quietest moments, it exudes heart and intrigue, and for those willing to dig deeper, The Ark and its mysteries are a joy to discover. Beautiful visuals and incredible presentation values round things out to make it one of the Switch’s must-own titles.	Read review
GamingTrend	David Flynn	95 / 100	09-07-2019	Astral Chain brings together gameplay elements from all of Platinum’s best, from Bayonetta to Transformers Devastation, and adds the secret spice of detective work to tie it all together. It’s easy enough for newcomers to the genre, deep enough for veterans, and one of Platinum’s best.	Read review
GearNuke	Danial Arshad Khan	9 / 10	09-08-2019	Astral Chain, in short, is one of the best games of the year and one of the finest action games ever made.	Read review
Geeks Under Grace	Sam Kim	8 / 10	01-09-2020	Astral Chain delivers the full PlatinumGames package while revising a number of gameplay elements that allow more players to appreciate the studio’s love for combat.	Read review
God is a Geek	Adam Cook	9 / 10	08-26-2019	A brilliant game that’s deep and offers accessibility for people who struggle as well as people who want to master every inch of the combat. In a crowded marketplace, Astral Chain stands out as a unique, interesting game that you’d be foolish to pass up on.	Read review
GotGame	Daniel Ladiano	8 / 10	09-16-2019	It may not be PlatinumGames’ finest title, but it’s definitely a fun time for any Switch owners looking for their next blood-pumping action title.	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Chris Shive	4.5 / 5 stars	09-04-2019	Aside from the lackluster co-op and slow start, Astral Chain is one of those rare games where it’s difficult to say anything bad about it.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	David Martinez	93 / 100	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is a brilliant action adventure game, with everything you could expect from a PlatinumGames title: fast and deep combat, rich visuals and a surprising story that reminds us of Nier Automata,	Read review
IGN	Steven Petite	9 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is every bit as awesome as it looks in motion, which is to say it’s downright incredible.	Read review
IGN Italy	Alessandra Borgonovo	9.1 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is something special that only Platinum Games could develop: a game both satisfying and tough.	Read review
IGN Spain	Albert Manjón	8.7 / 10	08-26-2019	Platinum Games is victorious in a risky bet, although with certain aspects to improve in its rhythm of play.	Read review
Impulsegamer	Jamie Kirk	4.5 / 5 stars	09-03-2019	PlatinumGames have made another essential game. Fast paced combat, interesting characters and a lived in world. Don’t miss out on Astral Chain	Read review
INDIANTVCZ	Patrik Strnad	9 / 10	08-29-2019	PlatinumGames certainly did not disappoint. Almost all the course of the game I could not get bored, because activities lurked all the time. One of the few things that is a bit annoying on the game is the fact that the chapter can’t be played 100% right away, because often there are activities requiring a Legion you don’t already have. You must then go back in future chapters to complete these activities. The length of each chapter and the overall storyline also seemed great to me, and I had finished in about 18 hours. For a great combination of catchy story, amazing stylization and heaps of fun fighting, I’ll give solid recommendation 9 out of 10.	Read review
Just Push Start	Dominic Weakland	4.1 / 5 stars	09-05-2019	Astral Chain is weird, thrilling, unique, different and crazy, it’s just held back by bad choices. Some of the design elements take a lot of getting use to and make sense in the long run, but can be frustrating to beginners. Combine this with entirely too many things going on at once and some of the most boring scenes between action packed combat sequences and you have an experience that loses a bit too much between scenes. This isn’t enough to take away from Astral Chain, it just turns a title that could’ve been among the best games this year to something that is still among the best on the Switch.	Read review
JVL	Cloud	8 / 10	08-26-2019	Far from being a little game while waiting for the main course, the new license for Platinum Games has a universe and original gameplay mechanics that we only ask to see again in another episode more balanced in its structure.	Read review
Kotaku	Mike Fahey	Recommended	09-17-2019	What I wanted is there, and it’s good. There’s just so much more, and I love it all.	Read review
LevelUp	Pedro Pérez Cesari	8.8 / 10	08-26-2019	So, it goes without saying that I recommend Astral Chain to all fans of PlatinumGames’ work since it takes everything that makes most of their games special but adds a unique flavor that will remind you why it is such a beloved studio. Also, I consider it an appropriate title for the owners of a Switch who are in search of something frantic and novel.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	9 / 10	08-26-2019	Another classic action game from Platinum that’s so full of ideas it seems fit to burst and yet everything not only works perfectly but is filled with an infectious sense of goofy fun.	Read review
New Game Network	Alex Varankou	80 / 100	09-10-2019	Overall 80	Read review
Nexus	Paul Delargy	7.5 / 10	09-04-2019	At this stage, PlatinumGames have a reputation for making fast-paced, stylish action games, and while Astral Chain is a bit slower than their previous efforts, it still has that deep and engaging combat system that these developers are practically known for.	Read review
Niche Gamer	Tyler Valle	8.5 / 10	08-29-2019	Pick it up, kill some monsters, crack a Monster, enjoy yourself. This is a video game, and video games are meant to be fun. Mission accomplished Platinum Games.	Read review
Nintendo Enthusiast	Brett Medlock	9.5 / 10	08-26-2019	Stop what you’re doing and play Astral Chain	Read review
Nintendo Life	Damien McFerran	9 / 10	08-26-2019	With its amazing visuals, fantastic presentation, varied gameplay and deep, rewarding combat, Astral Chain could well be PlatinumGames’ most accomplished game yet.	Read review
Nintendo Wire	Ricky Berg	8.5 / 10	09-14-2019	While it falls into some trappings both general and unique, its inspired design choices in combat and the wealth of customization it provides makes the game stand out even amongst other Nintendo published titles. It can be intimidating at times, but Astral Chain is a game anyone with a Switch should be investigating for themselves.	Read review
NintendoWorldReport	John Rairdin	8.5 / 10	08-26-2019	Given your character’s role as a police officer, I found the gradual de-emphasizing of the investigation mechanics to be a tad disappointing. A few areas of the visual design could also use work, but they’ll hardly affect enjoyment of the game. Ultimately, what we’re left with is one of the most exciting and original action games on Switch, if not the most.	Read review
NoobFeed	Adam Siddiqui	90 / 100	09-06-2019	Astral Chain constantly moves forward and builds momentum for an explosive end. As part of an elite law enforcement unit known as Neuron, it’s your job to fight the most deadly monsters humanity has ever encountered with tools only a handful of people have access to. Without a doubt, Astral Chain is one of PlatinumGames best work and one of the top exclusives for the Nintendo Switch. An outstanding story that constantly ramps up with bigger and more dangerous threat with a constant stream of new and deadly enemies within a beautifully decorated world. It’s only when the developers attempt to go outside those strong mechanics and try something different that Astral Chain fumbles.	Read review
Polygon	Chris Plante	Recommended	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is the best new Nintendo franchise since Splatoon	Read review
Press Start	James Berich	8 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is a unique experience from beginning to end, but some strange choices in the way it tells its story and major pacing issues in the third act bring it down. Regardless, Astral Chain fits right in amongst the Platinum greats, offering a fun and unique battle system that does a fantastic job at differentiating itself from its contemporaries.	Read review
Reno Gazette-Journal	Jason Hidalgo	9 / 10	11-08-2019	Astral Chain is everything that’s right about Platinum, reflecting the fresh, quirky, gunslinging mentality that the studio displays in its best works. Part Bayonetta and part Pokemon with a heavy sprinkling of police sci-fi in between, Astral Chain is a breath of fresh air in an industry typically dominated by sequels and familiar formulas. Free time sections could be a bit more dialed down and the Legion combat can be a handful at times. Overall, though, Astral Chain marks a promising start to what will hopefully be a new franchise.	Read review
RPGamer	Alex Fuller	4 / 5 stars	09-20-2019	Astral Chain keeps the level of style that has come to be associated with PlatinumGames, and it’s most evident in the combat.	Read review
Saudi Gamer	عصام الشهوان	9 / 10	09-03-2019	Minor technical issues and an underwhelming story aside, this is Platinum Games’ most ambitious game to date, one that retains the developer satisfying combat system yet adds so much more.	Read review
Screen Rant	Leo Faierman	4.5 / 5 stars	08-26-2019	Astral Chain represents PlatinumGames in top form, bringing a phenomenal action adventure game and engaging narrative to the Nintendo Switch.	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Matúš Štrba	9 / 10	08-27-2019	Astral Chain really is another classic from Platinum Games with top notch combat system, beautiful art and interesting story.	Read review
Shacknews	Blake Morse	8 / 10	08-26-2019	am insanely impressed with the world that Platinum has built-in Astral Chain overall. It is gorgeous, the plot is intriguing and it feels like something new when it comes to the investigations and police work.	Read review
Slant Magazine	Justin Clark	4 / 5 stars	09-04-2019	If you ask if something is possible for you or your Legion to do in Astral Chain, most of the time, the answer is yes.	Read review
SpazioGames	Unknown	8.3 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain it’s another great game from Platinum Games, with a great worldbuilding and a fine combat system.	Read review
Stevivor	Matt Gosper	8.5 / 10	08-26-2019	While Astral Chain‘s storyline is filled with anime archetypes and familiar plot tropes, it all works well as an overall experience.	Read review
SwitchWatch	Jordan Humphries	9 / 10	08-29-2019	A fantastic game!	Read review
TechRaptor	Austin Suther	8.5 / 10	10-27-2019	Astral Chain features a perfectly realized world filled with wonderful characters and awesome architecture. It runs perfect on the Nintendo Switch and looks stellar, too. The predictable story is one of the only faults of this over-the-top, incredibly fun action game.	Read review
The Games Machine	Stefano Calzati	8.5 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is a detective story of the near future, a game with a crazy rhythm and direction. However it is around the gravitational field of his combat system that sensational qualities and unexpected flaws rotate. We’re still talking about a memorable, amusing, tachycardic experience, doped by a techno-aesthetic power that flexes Switch’s muscles like only Nintendo managed to do. Despite certain flaws endemic to their work (unmanageable camera on all), PlatinumGames confirms itself as the king of stylish action games.	Read review
The Outerhaven Productions	Todd Black	4.5 / 5 stars	09-10-2019	While it may not be for everyone per se, Astral Chain blends a beautiful story and world together with tight action as you fight to save everything from enemies both and far. If you love Platinum Games, and you want a truly new and fresh experience on Switch, get Astral Chain.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Dominic Leighton	8 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain boasts the same winning elements of Platinum’s finest work – exhilarating combat, characterful visuals, and a compelling story – but it loses a bit of personality. Where Bayonetta and 2B provided an emotional centre point for the fantastical storytelling, Astral Chain’s unnecessarily silent protagonist is a charmless creation saved by an utterly charming world.	Read review
Too Much Gaming	Joseph Choi	9 / 10	09-16-2019	Astral Chain definitely falls within the higher tiers of Platinum Games’ offerings. It boasts a wholly unique and fully-realized gameplay mechanic, above-average world-building and characters straight out of animé, a memorable soundtrack, and more than enough replay value, all glistened with a coat of polish that will have you itching for more, even once you’ve completed its twenty-odd-hour campaign.	Read review
TrueGaming	Unknown	8.5 / 10	09-14-2019	Astral Chain is a great action game by PlatinumGames that presents an innovative combat system, epic boss fights, and the great soundtracks the developer is known for.	Read review
Twinfinite	Hayes Madsen	4.5 / 5 stars	08-26-2019	Astral Chain could is one of the best games on Nintendo Switch, period. PlatinumGames has proved, once again, that no one does stylish action games better, and I sincerely hope we get to return to the Ark again someday.	Read review
Unboxholics	Νικόλαος Δερλός	Recommended	09-01-2019	The excellent combat, coupled with the intriguing story, are capable of keeping your eyes glued to your Nintendo Switch screen for hours. Astral Chain fells like a true PlatinumGames experience through and through.	Read review
USgamer	Julie Muncy	4 / 5 stars	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is the directorial debut of Nier Automata designer Takahisa Taura, and it proves that he’s a creator worth paying attention to. Part melodramatic anime, part overly complicated Tamagotchi, it’s an eminently playable action role-playing game that delivers the pleasure of good teamwork in a way few singleplayer games accomplish. Building on action design ideas seeded in Nier, Astral Chain encourages you to bond with your beloved pet cybermonster both on and off the battlefield. Then, it teaches you how to fight as one.	Read review
VG247	Alex Donaldson	Recommended	08-28-2019	This is absolutely a worthy successor to Nier Automata – and like that game, Astral Chain is definitely a contender for one of my favourite games of the year.	Read review
Video Chums	A.J. Maciejewski	8.6 / 10	08-27-2019	With a perfect blend of high-octane action and enjoyable laidback moments in-between, Astral Chain presents a masterfully immersive campaign.	Read review
Wccftech	Francesco De Meo	9.3 / 10	08-26-2019	Astral Chain is, without a doubt, one of the best games ever released by Platinum Games and one of the best Nintendo Switch exclusives to date.	Read review
We Got This Covered	David Morgan	4.5 / 5 stars	08-26-2019	Astral Chain combines all the best impulses of Platinum Games with a unique combat system and rich RPG mechanics. The world, story, and atmosphere are icing on the cake	Read review
