It’s One of the Most Stylish Games You’ll Ever Play
PlatinumGames has made their entire name off of being the “stylish action” developer, but that’s never been truer than with Astral Chain.
Astral Chain is easily one of the best looking games on the Nintendo Switch, with a fantastic cel-shaded visual style that resembles a CG anime like Knights of Sidonia or Ultraman.
It’s probably the most anime-like game you’ll ever play, and I mean it. Astral Chain even has its own anime-style opening and ending, with original songs and all.
The game style carries over to both cutscene direction and the actual combat. The camera does a pretty good job of following the action, and the sheer spectacle of everything is impressive, even while Astral Chain makes sure you always have control.
If you’re a fan of anime you’ll likely adore Astral Chain, as it wears its inspirations clearly on its sleeve.
