Developed by PlatinumGames
- Hack and slash/Beat 'em up, Adventure, Action, Science fiction
Astral Chain is a stylish action game that blends fast-paced combat with investigation elements. Players fight alongside a controllable companion called a Legion, using coordinated attacks, restraints, and abilities to overcome enemies and solve environmental challenges. The game mixes high-energy battles with exploration and light detective work, offering varied gameplay and a strong focus on fluid, dual-character combat. In the Ark, a multi-cultural city in the near future, disaster strikes when gates to another dimension suddenly appear! Dangerous creatures begin to emerge, attacking the people and polluting the land, and normal police forces are unable to compete with them. To stand up against these threats, a brand new, special police unit known as Neuron is formed.
