Box Contains Game Card Review: An absolute must-play game with a Collector's Edition to match! - One of the best new IPs on the Switch, and an absolute must play. The game presents a really interesting take on the classic hack-n-slash formula by allowing the player to control a secondary "legion" which is chained to him (hence the game's title) The combos one can achieve with the legion are amazing, and all of the action parts are fantastic. There are some smaller aspects of the game (ex: some superficial platforming, RPG-like customization options, etc...) which somewhat interrupt the action sequences and at time make the pacing feel off. (but they are a small price to pay for how amazing the fighting sequences are) The Collector's Edition's contents is great (I especially appreciate the thank-you plaque from the devs) The artbook in the CE is also amazingly detailed and makes it worth the purchase just for that. HUGE congrats to Platinum games and Nintendo for making this game a reality! Review: Perfection on toast - Firstly the special edition: the box is huge and shiney, definetly a talking point of any collection, the art book is high gloss finish and really nice and detailed, the soundtrack is quirky but has a nice vibe that suits the game, the framed print is really awsome, everything just looks awsome, platinum games have smashed it with this product Secondly the game: this has got to be hands down 1 of the best beat em up i have ever played (including classics like final fight/streets of rage/DMC/bayonetta etc). Its glorious in every way, the story and the environment envolving the police force shudnt work, but it works flawlessly, the characters are typically japanese style OOT but not too OOT to put players off. The combat is epic, controlling 2 characters at once is seemless, takes 10mins to get used to but after that your legion will be like an extension of your arm, platinum games have hit the heights of bayonetta and neir:automata with this game, its so so fluid and magnificent in every way. definetly 1 of the best switch games evey, and 1 of the best games ive ever played, enjoy a nice slice of perfection on toast ## Features - The Collector's Edition includes the game card, a shikishi art board with an illustration by mazakazu Katsura, an astral chain sound selection CD and a 152-page artbook (final designs may vary) players can control the protagonist and a special weapon called a legion simultaneously, building stylish combos by using both characters in tandem - there are multiple legions in the game, each with different combat styles and abilities. Players can even strategically change between legions at will during real-time battles - this Apocalyptic setting is full of intricate details and interesting characters, including citizens and suspects you can interact with in the city, others in the special police task force, and your twin sibling - use the abilities of the legion not only in battle but also for investigating cases and solving environmental puzzles - uncover the secrets of the alternate dimension called the astral plane, where the mysterious invaders originate - astral chain is directed by takahisa taura, known for his work as the game Designer on Nicer: automata, and supervised by hideki kamiya, creator of the Bayonetta series ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07T4Q3JSX | | Customer reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (84) | | Item model number | 10002773 | | Language | Spanish | | Product Dimensions | 26.5 x 4.5 x 33.8 cm; 50 g | | Rated | To Be Announced | | Release date | 30 Aug. 2019 | ## Images ![Astral Chain Limited Edition (Nintendo Switch) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/413hRV2t6dL.jpg) ![Astral Chain Limited Edition (Nintendo Switch) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41mVdJSK+WL.jpg) ![Astral Chain Limited Edition (Nintendo Switch) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AF9E34HbL.jpg) ![Astral Chain Limited Edition (Nintendo Switch) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KV+-KKpZL.jpg) ![Astral Chain Limited Edition (Nintendo Switch) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ag0gj-RCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a UK version?** A: Yes, it is the UK edition, as originally sold by Nintendo UK. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute must-play game with a Collector's Edition to match! *by N***I on 8 October 2019* One of the best new IPs on the Switch, and an absolute must play.

Because they did, produced a great game and bundled it with an art book that details everything from the game and is of very high production value. I really feel that if this game hadn't done so well, they'd of been losing a bit more than a limb on this one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/151575284-astral-chain-limited-edition-nintendo-switch](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/151575284-astral-chain-limited-edition-nintendo-switch) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
