## [](#astral-chain-technical-analysis)Astral Chain – Technical Analysis

Digital Foundry have released their latest technical analysis video, which dives into the PlatinumGames action-adventure. As one might expect, the 30 fps pace of the game doesn’t always hold up in heavier battles – but its visual presentation more than makes up for this limitation!

A potential deal-breaker might be the bizarre lack of surround-sound in the game, however – so take that as you will.

### [](#about-astral-chain)About Astral Chain

Master thrilling synergetic combat against an increasingly powerful alien invasion in ASTRAL CHAIN™, an exciting new action-adventure from PlatinumGames, only on Nintendo Switch. Join an elite task force and work together with a special living weapon to solve cases and save mankind!

**THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION**

In the near future, Earth has been invaded by otherworldly creatures known as chimeras. Corrupting the world with a mysterious substance called Red Matter, these monsters have forced mankind to take refuge on a multi-cultural city called the Ark.

**WELCOME TO THE FORCE!**

When the chimeras reach the Ark, the only hope for survival is Neuron, an elite police task force with a very special weapon codenamed Legion. Choose between two playable characters – one male, one female – to join Neuron’s ranks and work with the Legion to stop the invasion once and for all!

Astral Chain is now out for Nintendo Switch.
