Board 8 > Is Astral Chain worth buying?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seems interesting but I havent heard much about it.

Its fun, yes. Whats it cost currently

It made my top 10 last year

I found it to be a bit overrated. Wish this was on a more powerful system capable of running it 60fps.

action is fine. Some of the downtime in it is poorly paced and gets a but repetitive. Good game at times but limited on the switch.

---

It's a really great game and an awesome new IP for Platinum that I really hope they continue. Tons of promise but a lot of stuff that could very easily be polished and/or improved in a sequel. I do agree that it feels pretty hamstrung for being stuck at 30 fps on Switch, though.

A somewhat good game but certainly not great. Some mechanics detracted too much of the gameplay which is an action game at its core like the usual Platinum games but I found this to be amongst the weakest from its developer.

Game becomes more fun after you beat it and do post-game but has a lot of issues like samey repetitive uninspired environments and a pretty bad storyline.

As a Platinum fan I liked it a lot but never loved it. Gameplay-wise it's awesome seeing how they stuffed literally every mechanic from all their games into one cohesive package, plus more, all with super refined controls. But the overall structure of the game itself is very bland. If you don't like Platinum then you can easily skip it, and even if you do might skip it too.

It would benefit a ton from a sequel though.

Love platinum and was hyped for this game, but I found it very dull.

Platinum is one of the few developers left who still make great action games with precise patterns and precise risk/rewards mechanics such as frame based parry, like From Software or Capcom. If you're into this stuff then get it.

I'ts pretty dope. I'd recommend it for fans of action.
