Got it. I put about 4hrs into the game. I’ve been exploring everything trying to see what all I can do. Like the locker room or like you said about customizing your Legon’s skill try. Just experimenting with everything.
Thats a bold statement I mean comparing it to games like Mario oddesy , smash bros , xenoblade , celest, animal crossing, Luigi's Manchin, Pokémon, ext. Thats saying something 👌
@@rosalbasanchezmoreno3253 I mean Just look at astral chains developer and u will know that their game will be good especially if its published by Nintendo or square enix
Absolutely loving Astral Chain so far. However, the dialogue doesn't sync at all with the mouth animations. This applies to both English and Japanese language settings. Not a huge deal, just slightly distracting. Everything else I absolutely love.
Jonathan Soko Haven’t played this game, but lip sync, when off, is maddening to me. It’s distracting and usually a sign of cheap animation with missing attention to detail. Games are an immersive medium and when lip sync or facial animations are off, it breaks immersion. Can Europeans, Canadians, South Americans, Australians etc chime in? Is it just a thing Americans notice? 🤣 It would make sense though if most movies/shows are made in the US and the part of the non-English speaking world is used to dubbed versions, that maybe they’re just overall less sensitive to it. It’s an interesting thought.
@@littlejam5984 I had a day one patch but I played the game while waiting for the patch to download in the background I believe the patch fixed some of the out sync voices because when played it before the patch the voices were crazy out of sync, but once i played it with the patch the voices were much more in sync not perfect but a heck of a lot better
@@dontaylor4464 right?! It's quickly becoming my favorite system for gaming. Xbox is so far behind it's not funny. And also I love how friendly the Switch is for indie developers.

Never clicked so fast. I’m having a blast. The music, customization options, side missions, collectibles, and most importantly, the combat are A1. Btw as a weeb, i love how anime it is. I know most people said they finished in 20 hours but I’m about 10 hours and feel like I’ve only peeled the surface. I only got two legions at this point. My only gripe is that there are no achievements.
Mekhs pace they’re not in the traditional Microsoft or Sony (trophy) system. Like they don’t ring when you get them. At this point achievements are well over 10 years old. Nintendo is slacking. No excuses, save them.
Groans oh sorry that is my wallet groaning and dying... Sssshhh wallet it is ok ssshhh don't die on me yet! I promise I am not going to get it yet.. My wallet sighs of relief!
This game is seriously worth every single penny. I have a very hard time putting it down cause I have such a great time with it. I got motion sick at first but found the different camera settings and adjusted it to my liking which I think is awesome. If u r a casual player and or a serious player,the different difficulty settings won't ruin the experience for you. Great game.
You didn't really touch on the most important aspect of the game for me which is progression. You talked about the missions obviously and that you can upgrade your legions (including skill trees) but is that everything? What about upgrading your own gear? Is there a variety of gear or do you just stick to one and keep upgrading that? What other progression systems are there?
I really thought this game was either gonna be a flop or gonna be an average game. After hearing Sean's praise for this game, I am thinking about getting it (It's too bad I already preordered Link's Awakening :( ).
I m on casual gaming mode as i intent to finish this asap as Sept gonna be a hectic mth full of hit games. There's No AA in handheld mode & I doubt 10 hours is halfway thru the game.
This game is amazing. I'm really enjoying the story, the futuristic world looks gorgeous, characters and the scenes are so much fun. What a game on switch. Oh and the soundtrack, wow
@MMAorNada ive been playing games since 1995, and I play current games almost every day. Have you even played the game for yourself? Or did you just watch someone else play it for you on RUclips?
@MMAorNada well thats your opinion.. And I'm not really talking about charicter models or about realism. What other visual art style would you use for an anime. The cell shading fits right in with the genre and its not totally cell shaded anyways. I'm mostly talking about the details of what makes up the gates and other particle and lighting effects. I personally havent seen some of the effects used (how they are in this game). Dont act like your an expert on visuals/programming. I am not an expert either.

No, not really. It already looks significantly worse than Nier in terms of sharpness and frames, and Nier itself isn't very graphically intensive. It has a good ART STYLE, yes, but the graphics are not that of a typical PS4 AAA game. Calling it like I see it.
Nintendo is killing it with the exclusives. They had more exclusives in the top 10 highest rated games of the year so far by IGN (not that ign is super reputable sometimes). Mario maker 2, Fire Emblem, and now Astral Chain. More coming. Again, proving that processing power isn’t everything. Glad to see ya back on top Nintendo.

I only got to play through the Astral Chain intro / credit sequence before going out on a lake for the weekend. Yes Switch is portable but when you take your 5-yr old to the lake on a houseboat you have other things to pay attention to. Excited to get off the water and check it out some more!
Matthew Kern, what do you mean, "broke" you? Do you mean you hated it? Or that it was very emotional? I never played Nier: Automata, which is why I'm asking. Hopefully you don't spoil it for me with your answer lol.
Well I'm hoping that Square Enix lets Platinum Games port it to the Switch, especially since Square Enix has been supporting the Nintendo Switch very well.
I will be buying this game. I better start paying attention to nintendo again cause it seems like they are bringing out some good games that i been wishing for the longest. Now if only they could get a hold of much much older games from NES and SNES era and remaster them. That would be perfect. Happy to see the whole MegaMan X collection and Contra out. Now we need Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire 1-4 and somebody bring out a real breath of fire 5 as well.
Loving it, but yeah I was very surprised that you can't jump and need the Legion for platforming. Also playing JP dub with german text, the german localization isn't the greatest, like the voice says Chotto Matte (Wait a Minute) and the german text says "Ma'am? Igitt" (Ma'am? Eww) which is quite a difference, I will replay the game in full english for comparison so I know who is to blame.
I just bought a copy. It's getting difficult to find the physical version at the big retail stores. I had to purchase it on eBay but I got it for a good price. The action looks intense. Action games are my favorite.
