Bold of you to assume Id forget about Astral Chain!

I’m not super into these types of games, but I love Bayonetta as a character enough to buy her series, so I checked Astral Chain out! It didn’t disappoint at all, the loop of getting S ranks on missions > new costume, etc... it’s good! It’s more forgiving than Bayonetta for sure, which I appreciated a lot. I don’t care enough to get Perfect Platinums by not getting hit, but I care enough to get S ranks in Astral Chain by going ham on the chimeras and using every tool available

The anime-like opening was the most platinum shit ever and I loved it

This game is truly slept on. I hope they come back with a open world version and more end game content. This game is amazing. I am pro astral chain 2.

The style man, I love this game art direction. Everything works, the menus, the cel shading, the colors. It’s amazing and the blog posts platinum posted are so worth reading if you were a fan of this game

I'm on a Captain Astronaut binge today, watching banger after banger. Loving your content!

I've been on the fence on buying astral chain. I am a fan of platinum games stuff but it just didn't look like my cup of tea but this video was both really entertaining, well put together and has convinced be to buy the game thanks for not spoiling buy the way. Keep up the good work and don't falter.

Astro singing is more than enough to force me buy this game

I did get this game per your recommendation and I can agree that this game was really, really good. I kinda thought the game felt a bit short, but that's probably because I'm on my 3rd playthrough of Fire Emblem Three Houses and I finished Persona 5 not too long ago. I definitely thought the gameplay was really good and all the small little side missions (red and blue cases) were a good way to give people optional stuff to do. Despite using the same model for all the male and female NPC's (kind of thought it was funny to see basically clones of me throughout the game lol), the visuals were pretty good and some places in the game look amazing. I will for sure try to 100% the game on the hardest mode and spread the word about this game to other people. 10/10, would play as a Legionis again.

Its a really fun game. I really like the idea of controlling two characters. Hope more people play this game so we get a 2nd game!

Forgot yeah this is true but personally I had it in the back of my head

Also under this title: Ai the Somnium Files

Axe legion is really meant for when your overwhelmed basically it’s way more defensive which is jarring but as the last legion it’s really cool how it stands out

"Mark Zukerburg's wet dream" I'M DEAD!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Ahaha this was amazing. You really convinced me to buy it. As a matter of fact, as soon as I'm done studying, imma go into the mall and get myself a copy of this fucking game. Also, you managed to make the musical segment not be cringy. The comedy was really good in this vid. Great work!

“The Best Switch Game You Forgot About” Arms: Am I a joke to you?

You think i would ever forget about this masterpiece? Behind the nier series, this is my favourite game on a console, and i will be severely disappointed if they dont make a sequel of this

I finally fell in love with this game today. I consider myself an ex-fps junkie and this is one of the many games I bought and played for an hour before hopping back into my shooters. Having shifted towards single player games lately I reached for this after getting burnt on Xenoblade and I CAN NOT believe how long I’ve had a game this good just gathering dust on my shelf. I also appreciate the slow down missions you mentioned. As much as I like constant action in theory, I tend to get bored quick with hack n slash games that have a simple loop of ‘walk forward then clear the room’.

Awww we switched. I prefer axe over arm legion. They’re just so cool to me.

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh astral chain! playing this game was an experience. also the visuals make me cry theyre so gorgeous

I will never forget about Astral Chain. It's one of my favorite games of all time.

Man, I love your loud *"AHUAH"* whenever you jab at something. They're so powerful.

S/O TO UPLOADING THIS VID THE NIGHT I BEAT FILE 11 THAT ENDING STILL HAS ME IN SHAMBLES I. AM. NOT. OK

Me: watches video Also me: gets game later that day Also also me: finishes file 2 and completely agrees so far

I remember thinking this was a Xenoblade X sequel when the trailer dropped and I bought it just to fill that Nintendo cyberpunk hole that X left in my heart. I made Elma in the character creator and everything.

Happy 2nd anniversary Astral Chain!!

2:32 the enemy designers of sonic frontiers must of been fans

I absolutely love this game. What an experience Everything from the aesthetic, the story, the gameplay, the music - such an over-the-top, existential, nonsensical (in a good way) game.

Me and my best friend played this together and we both agreed it was amazing.

That song at the end made me subscribe

It’s 2023 and I still think about this game. I played it day 1 and instantly fell in love with it. It always made me upset that not a lot of people know about it because it’s one of the best game on the switch. I’m still hoping they will make a sequel because it deserve it

Thanks for the vid and great singing! I was really hesitating on buying Astral chain, but have come to a conclusion on buying the game and have no regrets- Keep up the great work Astro!

Bro I’ve been watching your videos on xenoblade, splatoon and this and honestly you and Dunkey are the only gaming KZfaqrs that can consistently make me laugh. Thanks lol

Astral Chain is pretty much Evangelion x Jojo's Bizarre Adventure x Ghost in the Shell all wrapped in fantastic 90's anime aesthetic. It's absolute peak kino. It's pretty much the best Jojo game ever made despite not having the official license. The only thing it was missing was some more "Platinum-isms" like flashy boss finishers. Also PS before I forget Starfox Zero was a really good game too Like really, it was. People just didn't know how to play it and the game didn't do a good job of explaining itself.

That Legion Assault song goes so hard tho

This game is an absolutely amazing one, not the best of its genre for 2019 since that easily goes to DMC 5, but such a perfect thing for many of us. Each and every part of the game isn't the best or most innovative, but instead is a melding of mostly all of platinum's games and even a few ideas from other franchises. Sword feels right out of MGR, some of the enemies and on rails segments feel similar to Nier Automata (and a ton of the music too), Beast feels like a mix of ideas from Bayonetta and MGR, the chain mechanics feel similar to some of the set-ups in 101, Arrow feels like something out of Vanquish sometimes, Arm feels like a mixture of all the games and battle anime into one legion, and branching out further both Sword and Axe have many moves and abilities that feel straight out of Dante and Vergil's movesets from DMC. Everything in this game is a love-letter to fans of this genre, and while it doesn't surpass DMC, MGR, Bayonetta, or most of the others in its own mechanics, it pays some of the best homage to them that any of us could've asked for! Easily a 9 or even 10/10 for what it was going for

Astral chain looks great on a switch OLED model and that's why I replayed it again....

Best game of 2019 imo. I can't wait for the sequels

I am a huge Bayonetta/DMC/MGRR fan so yeah, I HAD to buy Astral Chain on first release game. It's still one of my favourite switch games ! The only thing I can criticize about AC is that the post-story game is repetitive and almost non-existant post-story scenario. It's literally fighting levels, while why I like AC a lot was because of investigation and exploration ! Its levels were a break for me playing Bayonetta/Devil May Cry (fight fight fight fight). Oh well, I guess I can do these post-story levels easily and chilling and getting the game on 100%...wAIT WHAT 70 FIGHT LEVELS ?! 😭😂

I never clicked on this video because I assumed it would be spoiler heavy. But I just beat the game so I finally watched. And the first shot says no story spoilers. WELP. Anyway, thanks for the vid. Awesome as always

You know that meme of someone T posing and the other person in the corner crying? That's how I felt when Astro started singing. 😂 I'm kidding Captain I love your videos

I hope that Akira (Or whoever you want to call him/her, since I know that’s not the player character’s name) makes it into Smash Bros so that this game gets more recognition!

My biggest criticism after bringing in a friend to play co-op. You are required to play with one joycon each. I think it could’ve been significantly better in experience and button mapping if it allowed the use of let’s say, two pro controllers. I remembered the game very recently after it was featured at Summer Games Done Quick 2024, and I love it.

I hate that I haven't played enough of that game 🥰

Already played and really enjoyed the game back on launch but despite that still a super entertaining video to watch!

This game has been in this game since I first played it, it is in my top 5 favorite favorite games of all time, and not forget that in 2020 people are going to hate this lmao

It sounds like recore, with demons instead of robots. It's also a really good game, except for the collectibles that you need to progress through the story. I am definitely getting astral chain.

Love this game def needs more attention

Toss a coin to Astral Chain, Go play this fucking game, Go play this fucking game, Ohoh oh

I am currently replaying this game because I like it so much Seriously Astral Chain is amazing and more people need to play it! 1 million is NOT enough :=)

The only thing I would've changed about it was make it the size of GTAV and as many as things to do in it as side activities.

15:16 This. This is the content I hit sub for. Lmao in all seriousness, thank you for talking about this game! It really is a great game, and it sucks that it kinda fell to the wayside behind other titles that launched last year.

I forgot about astral chain, then rediscovered it right before watching this

Everything about this game is fantastic. It gives you just the right amount of hand holding, the combat and enemies are SICK and I could hack and slash enemies forever, I actually really liked the story, and the MUSIC. BRUH THE MUSIC SOMEONE PLEASE GIMME THE LINK TO THE SOUNTRACK OF THIS GAME I CAN'T FIND IT. I've seen people hate on the combat and the skill trees but I absolutely LOVE that, it gives me the sense of progression. The replay value is also GREAT bc the game saves what achievements and collectables you get when you first play it which makes it really easy to 100% the game without trying to do everything at once. The only real issue I have with it is really really small and insignificant: you can't customize your twin and there's an outfit they wear at the end that is just like 😬😬😬. That's pretty much what I don't like about the game. The one suggestion I have is that you should probably play as the female twin first because personally I think that the dynamic between the slightly older and evidently more powerful twin (bc the player always has to be the strongest duhhhh) being a girl and Akira being a boy and having the emotions and obligations he feels like he does makes a lot of his reactions make a lot more sense. These same reactions with the girl Akira just seem whiny and annoying.

Not only is this video useful to watch but it’s freaking hilarious

Bro I didnt know this game was as good as it was until I played it. Usually its harder to finish games for me than it is to pull teeth, but I loved almost every second of it. Its your like most anime RPG games but the design of enemies, and fluid gameplay really kept me coming back. Honestly the only thing they could've added on were the other characters, cause they were pretty boring

I'd pay good money for sequel's to Astral Chain, Spec Ops: The Line and Sleeping Dog's. 🤓

I remember fighting the last boss and dying during that fight and said I'd fight the boss later...3 months later after my job was settled enough for me to play, I was loaded back up to that same part of the fight. I thought I would go through the stage and shake some rust off.. but no, I'm going in super rusty for the fight and it took me like 3 hours to beat that boss when one more retry would have done it 3 months early...procrastination man.

I'm playing through it right now and It's become one of my new favorite switch games!

ok fine I'll play it

I ain’t buying it yet, but this game’s goin’ on the wishlist for sure. Nice video. 😁

Great video as always, was not ready for the spicy face reveal.

Man axe was actually my fav. If ya get the hyper armor mod you can wreck some house with him. Plus he leaves a bomb after every few attacks,

Honestly the song is what made me decide to susbcrie

11:45 been saying that for the longest time.

Real video starts at 15:17 guys....just thought you should know

Well I remembered this game because my friend plays it sometimes on the bus, but it didn't look very fun to play to me compared to Bayonetta, but thanks to this video maybe when I get bored with my Switch games Ill give it a try or go over to my friends house and play it.

Finally got it... Unleashed the beasts! Dimacari Sagitta Murmillo Canis Samnite So we can have policeman Joestar Polnareff w/ IGGY Atom Heart Father On Probationary Anubis ...Axe?

This is my favourite game.

If we do get a sequel, I want a scythe legion or maybe a magic only legion that shoots out hadoukens or kamehamehas.

Picked this game up after some edging from this video and I AM IN LOVEEEE

Bro, I’m gonna play it for a 3rd time.

I actually did forget about it since i had no switch and it sucked, then I remembered it about bought it without a second thought

I have the collectors edition lying around since September and I promise I will play it. Someday.

When I saw this game in the store I added it to my wishlist because it looked like bayoneta but I had no idea it was made by the same people!

it is really good, i pre-ordered it with a switch coupon, it deserves more recognition.

this game is great dark hero is a banger

Haven't forgotten about it. Just wanted to finish other games first. AC is a game I would know I have alot of free time to play. Plus I sorta hate controlling the Astral creature.

I disagree with your opinion on Axe Legion. It deals literal craptons of damage, especially in sync attacks. It basically was my go-to legion when fighting slower foes or crowds of enemies. Spin attack is just too good, and deflecting attacks with perfect calls feels badass too.

Thanks to this video I played the game, and HOLY SHIT

Don't quite understand the song reference at the end😅

Oh yes, the gantz jojo mixture nobody talks or draw lewds about.

I just went to this game after finishing Fire emblem three houses.

Toss a coin to Astral Chain, o'valley of plenty!!!!

Is it just me or did This game slap as soon a beast legion came in idk I just felt the game design and tools available to the player got really good

The problem with Astral chain and Wonderful 101 is that even though they're great, they have a pretty nieche battle system and some tend not understand the gameplay because reviewers don't have time to get invested enough most of the time

They should have done an anime they are still selling the game to this day and it's still selling for 60 dollars 💸 Which i think it means it's still doing good or people just making you pay more for it

That Demon X machina meme almost had me cry until that disclaimer came along Lol

BTW platinum also did Okami

I am saving money for animal crossing as new games I'm ultra hype for keep getting announced and so other 60 dollar games are put on the side

Do think its a bit of a bummer that your character is silent for every cutscene except after ******** dies, and while I would really want a character from this in smash, I feel like we'll either get a Rosalina Echo Fighter or a character so complicated they would become a Terry 2.0.

Okay, the Final Boss was really hard. The Core Boss Fight was laughably easy but Noah Prime beat me senseless lmao

christmas music playlist

Ok but does it have a fishing mini game

People are going to disagree with me but this game is the most enjoyment and pure fun I have ever gotten from a game the only game that compares imo is Dark souls trilogy (I get vv frustrated easily and dont like dying 1000 times to kill one boss) and Minecraft(Most of the time have nothing to do and building takes wayyyyy to long) but even those games I have things I hate about them read () but astral chain I love through out and have nothing but pure fun while playing it also the story deserves more justice its like some Netflix action thriller type shit (the good kind) if you read through the files and get a since of the world and I personally think the combat is wayyyyy more understandable than Bonnetta lol but fr for my favriote game it makes me so sad it only has 1 mill and isnt as talked about in 2020 :/ fr 10/10 masterpiece

Music was so banger it was tiring

I'm surprised you didn't add a sing-along bouncing ball with Captain's face for the song lol.

Starting the video I have to say I fuck with this already! 😄

Spoiler: The intro from thr game is like hear Halo theme as anime

THAT SONG LMAO
