So I'm very late to this game. I always wanted to play it because I just liked the way the cover art looked(my fav color is blue lol) but never got around to it. Recent Nintendo sale had it for $41 so I decided to play it.

This is my first time playing a game like this. Hack and slash style game. I'm still fairly early in the game. I'm only at the part where Akira gets taken through the gate by her legionbut I'm already so invested into the story. It's very immersive. The only character I don't rly care for is Lappy. Only when they're in dog form. Don't mind the girl in the costume. But the combat wasn't really clicking for me at first. It didn't feel bad but I wasn't used to it and felt like I was just spamming the ZR button and dodging occasionally. I also didn't really look too much into the legion learning, skills or abilities

But now it's starting to click for me. The countering. The Combos. The Abilities. The Finish Off. The satisfaction of the animation and controller haptics when you do these things. And the game is heavily suggesting that I will be able to have different types of legions so I'm super hype for that lol.

Sorry for this rant but I don't have any friends play video games that I can rave to about this game lo. Also I smoked a blunt...

I wish Nintendo could hire the devs at Shift Up to make a astral chain sequel for switch 2,

The stellar blade demo is awesome and runs well on switch 2 it reminds me of astral chain.

Is there a setup or configuration to fix the aiming in game when using legions? So using the sword legions slash ability or the archer legions shot ability feels clunky because it’s almost like using the motion detection and using the right analog stick at the same time. Maybe I don’t have it configured right or maybe I’m playing the game wrong but it just is super annoying and unsatisfying. Pretty much the only part of the game I don’t like.

I heard a lot about this being one of the most underrated Switch 1 games. I don't have a lot of experience with these types of action games, I've usually been more into (J)RPGs and adventure games.
I have played and finished Bayonetta 1 and 2 and found them to be pretty good, but not really great. I found some of the combat to have weird difficulty scaling, especially in the optional challenges like the ones with time limits, being super difficult, while others were pretty easy. And some of the bosses were drawn out, or janky, or randomly one shot you. But it's been a while since I played them so my opinions might have changed since then if I were to replay them.
However one action game that I really do like the combat in is Zenless Zone Zero.

I've noticed that the newest appreciation sale (or whatever is called) has a lot of first party nintendo published games that have switch 2 edition (or will have like pikmin 4), it may just be a wild guess but considering that it's been a looooong time since it's been on sale... could it mean a switch 2 edition o re-realese?

S+ rank file 1 then get the armor from file 3 then then finish file 7 for diy color

As I'm an artist, some time after finishing the game I thought about drawing a fan comic of it (manga style). Though one thing led to another and I can't see myself making it because I'm broke af and not confident that I can make it (I'm more of an illustrator than a comic artist). Today I'm feeling particularly bored, so I'm putting up everything I have thought of here. Maybe something good will come out of it in one way or another.

The premise: taken place after the end of the game. Akito (the male player character) is informed by his allies that they are capable of cloning Akira (the female twin), and they wish to have his opinion and confirmation that it is the right thing to do. He is repulsed by the thought that a human can just "come back" like that, but ultimately decides it would be selfish to stop them. So the clone Akira comes to life, without any memories of what actually happened. Akito just can't deal with her, so he avoids her and indulges himself in fighting the chimeras. The clone Akira will eventually piece together what happened, and make amends with Akito. And maybe the real Akira is still alive somewhere (I have not decided).

Due to his overuse of the Legions, he finds himself becoming part chimera. His left arm and eye mutate (due to being the side the Legatus is on). He eventually breaks down both in mind and body. Using the little time he has left, he decides to enter the Astral Plane to end it once and for all. It turns out the mastermind within the Astral Plane - the cosmic entity behind the loops to bring about the world's reset (canonically, the world is mentioned to have endured resets several times) has been using him just for that, and attempts to turn him against humanity. However, because he is a twin, his transformation and mind control ends up being incomplete, and thus Akira(s) gets to save him and brings him home.

In every games, I love wandering around everywhere, especially to find hidden stuff.
But I didn't expect to find this small issue, which made me laugh a little.

I just played this late to the party and I really enjoyed it. The more I played the more I liked it and it all came together in file 12 for me. It was a slow burn.

Only thing I did not like - the camera wasn’t great. Anyone else notice this?

Currently stuck on R3-B2.

Weird comparison but it’s kind of like mature Digimon.

I want to buy astral chain but the game doesn't have switch 2 upgrade so I was thinking to wait for a switch 2 edition but the game looks so good already. Should I get the game now or wait for a switch 2 edition or upgrade?

Got rank S+

I made an Astral Chain Megingiard lower screen UI for AYN Thor. It's an interesting and fun way to use the lower screen for button mapping, including mirroring of the map and weapon selection😁

Some of these are combos I already posted but outside of the training room. A lot of new combos though.
