'Astral Chain' packs top-notch combat into a weird anime world

Corruption and demonic creatures are leaking into the world from another dimension, and it’s up to you, a police officer in the specialized Neuron division, to stop it. How do you fight these demonic creatures? With demonic creatures of your own, of course, and a super-powered police baton. But don’t forget, you’re a police officer at your core! So on your way to these hellish interdimensional portals, make sure you help a few civilians along the way. This is Astral Chain, a game that’s one part apocalypse, one part menial police work, one part over-the-top action, and one part pure goofiness. At times it’s a very weird combination of these things, whiplashing back and forth between its varied facets with their wildly varying paces. Still, it’s charming, and the combat is exciting enough to keep everything propelling forward. Read more...More about Nintendo, Nintendo Switch, Astral Chain, Entertainment, and Gaming
