ASTRAL CHAIN introduces a unique action mechanic where you control both a police officer and their bonded Legion simultaneously. This creates a deep and creative combat system that lets you combine chain attacks, counter maneuvers, and tactical enemy binding. Choose to experience the story as a male or female character — your unselected twin remains a key member of the Neuron unit.
In the Ark’s open‑ended missions, alternate between intense battles, investigation, and puzzle‑solving. Different Legion types have unique abilities useful in both combat and exploration, helping you traverse environments and overcome obstacles. The refined art direction and oversight by PlatinumGames veterans (Takahisa Taura, Hideki Kamiya) complement the striking visual and musical presentation.
Key features:
- Exclusive to Nintendo Switch
- Simultaneous control of your character and Legion for creativity‑driven combat
- Multiple Legion types with special abilities and on‑the‑fly switching
- Investigation, puzzles, and exploration in the living metropolis of the Ark
- A story from the alternate dimension known as the Astral Plane and stylish presentation from the creators of BAYONETTA and NieR:Automata
