Bounced off it first time round, but having fun this time. Sure, the options are limited, but there’s enough scope there to make the character and game feel like your own, and these are features that could be built upon in a follow-up game. One feature that immediately springs to mind is the game’s character creator, which allows you to customise different aspects of your character to create an anime hero that works for you. For what it’s worth, Astral Chain doesn’t exactly deviate from this time-honoured tradition, but there’s enough new ideas and content that I’d love to see built on in a sequel. Platinum titles, while stellar executions of the character action genre, tend to follow certain formulas, namely that you control a specific character and fight arenas of dudes over and over again until the credits roll. While the idea of a Lappy-focused spin-off might be a bit too out there, this Bayonetta 3 trailer has planted the seed of Astral Chain 2 in my mind and now that’s all I want. Before Bayo makes her elegant appearance, Lappy, the Ark Police Force mascot and one of the most wholesome and enjoyable parts of Astral Chain, appears to face down the monsters. However, I’m also somewhat disappointed, because Platinum threw in a reference to Astral Chain at the start of the trailer. It’s still a while off, with a launch date set for 2022, but I’m excited. The footage showed everyone’s favourite Umbran Witch summon hair-based demons to murder some massive monsters while looking as stylish as ever.
All of them are reasons to get excited, but that last announcement was another level.Ĭlosing out the Direct, PlatinumGames broke what felt like years of relative silence and revealed some honest-to-goodness gameplay footage of the hotly anticipated Bayonetta 3. The showcase was filled with some stellar announcements, including a brand new Kirby game, the addition of N64 and Mega Drive games to Nintendo Switch Online as an expansion pack and Disco Elysium’s Nintendo Switch release date.
I can’t have been the only one to have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions when last week’s Nintendo Direct concluded.
