This kick ass soundtrack, I don't even own this game and now I want it besides the awesome gameplay but also this awesome kick ass soundtrack. Let's all be saviors bitches!!
@@bigshadow847 I could see both being the protagonist, don't spoil anything for me as I don't have it but form what I've seen from the trailers I could see both being the protagonist
@@bigshadow847 the only issue with it possibly becoming an anime is that the character you play as doesn't have a canonical name yet, you have their twin being Akira Howard but the one you play as doesn't have a canonical name yet
In most games, the Lyrics to the song kicking in is usually a morale boost and a turning point in the fight. Here, once the lyrics kick in you better fucking panic because there is only a slightly less than 100% chance you're gonna die in the next 30 seconds.
>First listen: "Ugh it's cheesy and just not that great" >Third listen: "Okay, I think I can dig it" >Tenth listen: "If there comes a time when you're falling do-own/I'll be your sav-i-oooor"
They won’t. They’ll probably be in the next Smash game though since they already confirmed it will have less characters than Ultimate. I bet the next Smash game will mostly focus on only Nintendo characters.
TrableZ Keep the characters and premise, change up the story and add new characters to keep the ones who played the game on their toes, and I will pay to watch it.
Zorric The game has a good premise, and a few ways they could add a couple of twists, make it less tropey like you said, and Platinum, and/or Nintendo, could have a banger of an anime on their hands.
I don't think there will ever really be a game like Astral Chain for me again It's not my favorite game, but I love it so much for the fact that it was so different at a time when everything felt so similar to me. I wish it did better financially because you can tell how much passion was put into this game.
@@bakedfish947 Taura has stated that he can spin Astral Chain into a trilogy if it sold well enough, and the game did manage to become one of Platinum's best selling games out of nowhere
[Official lyrics has been released and this has been corrected] The sky turns while swallowing up each and every being in this town Hopes, hearts, everything is falling down Far away in the skyline A crowd of apparitions crawling around It's calling, it's calling, growing, louder Are we the future of this burning hell? It's a fight for a paradise, fight for our life So keep holding on, holding on Until we break the spell Free yourself, reach for the light in darkness and despair If there comes a time when you are falling down I'll be your savior The eyes of the living dead, the lies, that cries without a single sound Cold hearts, everything is falling down The war is on, our fates are gone Another reminiscence is haunting us all It's calling, it' calling, over and over Are we the future of this burning hell? It's a fight for a paradise, fight for our life So keep holding on, holding on Until we break the spell Free yourself, reach for the light in darkness and despair If there comes a time when you are falling down I'll be your savior Don't need to be afraid Don't need to look away You'll never be alone Let's show them that we're here to stay Fight for a paradise, fight for our life So keep holding on, holding on Until we break the spell Let the truth reveal itself Bring this chaos to and end Fight for our paradise Fight for our lives So keep holding on, keep holding on Until we break the spell Free yourself, reach for the light in darkness and despair If there comes a time when you're falling down I'll be your savior I'll be your savior
@@LeKingCarnage It's pretty much all there, good work! 松原ゆきまる is right with crowds of apparitions. "In this chaos storming" is "Bring this chaos to an end" and the second "holding on" in each chorus is "keep holding on". Source: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VyC1ECRxU1E.html - it's a really good source for the lyrics :D
Only thing I ask is that Akira's character gets divided between the two siblings, and slightly expanded... Have them both be Legionis, but one of them is weaker and has difficulty with the ability, which could rerail the later plot. [... and still maintain the game's structure of the twins being interchangeable in the plot.]
Phoenix502 Or better have a pre-quel spin-off of sorts that chronicles their training to get onto the police force and expands on them being adopted by max
It seems to be difficult to find physically at a reasonable price. Second hand sellers are kinda hurting the sales of those used/new copies. Xenoblade 2 and it’s expansion physical retail release have also been going up in prices. It’s strange that Nintendo still hasn’t done some sort of “Nintendo selects” or “players choice” for the Nintendo switch.
@@raidexe That much is obvious. It sucks for sure. Astral Chain performed well enough though. It was in the top 3 UK sales charts. Platinum Games titles hardly ever charted in the top charts, not even Nier Automata could do that when it was a PS4 exclusive. And the Astral Chain IP is now fully owned by Nintendo, so Nintendo seemed to be satisfied over all with the sales. Will they care about the IP? That’s the question, I’d say it’s a 50-50. We’ll just have to wait and see if Platinum Games & Nintendo consider making a sequel. Aside from that, it’s still a pity that Nintendo’s 1st party Games hardly ever drop in price, and they have yet to brought back the ‘Nintendo selects’ catalog which would be honestly consumer friendly at this point if most of their games were marked down in price.
@@maroXUprising I totally agree, and I think Nintendo over time has only payed attention to the hype over a title over their actual consumer's, so that only makes sense on why Nintendo doesn't implement Nintendo select mechanic. I'm also kinda pissed AC didn't get any merch made from Platinum, from my experience, seeing random merch helped me get into random titles of games and music that I enjoy now.
I see so many reactions with people asking AC to become an anime, and im honestly on board with it. Have both twins be the protagonists while still following the plot of the game. i`d adore that.
I'd want the anime to be a sequel. There's a whole planet left to reclaim from the as-yet-unseen eldritch masters of the Astral Plane, after all! This battle isn't even close to over!
I liked it, but IMHO it's a 5/10 overall, there's just as much bad as there is good. I feel like it's a masterpiece hidden beneath mountains of shitty design and direction.
@@ReligiousHooker Yeah it's platinum but I think he's talking about nintendo as a whole, and since he considers the fact that platinum made a game for the switch exclusivly, I can see why he talks about Nintendo by including Astral Chain...
@@sebastianrebiere9017 yes you are right when i mentioned that Nintendo is rocking in the main Theme of ter major releases i was also incluinding Platinum games latests game for Switch.
@@sebastianrebiere9017 Platinum games didn't create a game exclusively for the Switch. This is a Nintendo IP (like Mario) and Nintendo reached Platinum games to make them the game. Also, Nintendo asked them to make a vocal song when creating the main song.
Gerardo Gonzalez wow really? So it’s actually Nintendo’s IP? I think majority ppl think it’s Platinums game just exclusively for switch. Thanks for the heads up!
Every one else: surprised that Platinum did this for Astral Chain. Me, an intellectual: These are the people that remixed the epic Sinstra banger Fly me to the Moon, and made it so it wouldn't suck! Not to mention the entire soundtrack for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.
@@yaboipktendo well Akira is the name of the player characters brother or sister but they are not the hero of the story. The player character should be in smash he or she has access to all 5 legions which would make em a very diverse fighter
This game sold so well and it's so good despite its current lack of a community. With the Astral Chain reference in the Bayonetta 3 trailer I'm really hoping for a sequel announcement soon.
I remember that the game's creator posted "Astral Chain 2" on Twitter but it was deleted soon after. My only source for this is trust me bro but someone probably documented the tweet somewhere
Maybe Bayo 3 will give it more relevance. With the monster things in Bayo 3 also being called Hommunculi, I expect it's just "we'll reuse the name", but I wouldn't be surprised if they try to connect the two series in one way or another.
Seeing the full game, listening to the music, and learning more fighters are being added to the DLC Fighter Pass for Smash, I can honestly say Akira NEEDS to get in! Imagine the new remixes and a possibility of getting a Dark Hero duet.
Saw this game in Walmart, and decided to have this as my Birthday gift. Out of all the games I have, it's one of the games that makes me coming back for more.

Dude, it was worth it to get a Switch even back when the only game available was Breath of the Wild. If you have the money, then there's no time like the present!
@@iancomtois9832 time and money are my limits. I wanted a ps4 more than a switch so I got that, now I know I can get a switch around november so I'll probably do that. And of course I want to play breath of the wild too.
I have had 3 video game openings that i have been really into these last few months. First it was Judgement's Opening, then it was Fire Emblem Three House's Opening, and now Astral Chain's Opening. They are all so good and catchy, i have the three in one playlist on loop.
Main protagonist and Akira busting this song in a karaoke party after main protagonist gets out of prison and clears its name. So the next day, everyone is drunk and have to work in the city clean up but since the twins said that they'll be their saviors, everyone uses them to do petty things like moving boxes and cars. Yup. This cannon for mision 8.
I made the mistake of not buying this game day 1. Just completed it today. This is one of the best games I've played and hands down one of the best games on the switch. Shit is HYPE!!!!
ok there needs to be an amine of this game plus song is to good i have replayed the song about 7 times now and i can't stop i'm so getting this game when i'm able to
I really hope Akira is a smash character. This would be an even better puppeteer character. I wonder how they would implement the moves though. I wonder if you would even be able to switch between legions
Switching through Legions would be easy because a precedent for that exists with Shulk's Monado Art swap in mechanic, and Legion swapping in-game mimics the Monado Arts well.
I just came here to report that I did it. I did the thing. Got my S+. If you know why I'm commenting on this song in particular, you know what thing I'm talking about. Godspeed to anyone else who makes the attempt.
Dont know if this will encourage anyone to get the game (if they haven't). Astral Chain is brought to us by the same creators of Bayonetta 1, 2, and 3. If you like the Bayonetta series, try this game out for yourself.
@@doctor_black_1348 I had just known until recently that they had released Astral Chain instead Bayonetta 3. I just assumed snice I heard my cousin talk about it a lot.
Song that made me stay trough an opening of a game over and over! :D!!! Makes me wish to go back and face the special boss just to fight with that epic music none stop!
