Video: 5 minutes from Astral Chain’s opening hours
PlatinumGames’ Switch exclusive is out August 30
Almost five minutes of exclusive Astral Chain gameplay has been published on VGC’s new YouTube channel, showing the opening hours of the near-final game in action.
The PlatinumGames title puts players in the role of a rookie officer in a special police force known as Neuron. This exclusive task force, along with its living weapon companions called the Legion, is humanity’s last defence against an interdimensional alien invasion.
[UPDATE: VGC’s Astral Chain review has been published, awarding the game a score of 5/5]
Players are given control over two characters at once for what Platinum calls “Synergetic Action.” Players can switch between several Legion types and skills in order to solve puzzles or traverse platforming environments.
Astral Chain is the directorial debut of NieR: Automata designer Takahisa Taura. Hideki Kamiya, director of Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, provided supervision.
The Nintendo Switch exclusive is set to release on August 30 and you can read more about how it’s shaping up in our recent Astral Chain hands-on preview.
