Astral Chain takes gamers to 2078. According to the scriptwriters, by that time the Chimeras had infected most of the Earth and almost destroyed humanity. The surviving people took refuge in the last city – the Ark. However, these demonic creatures began to penetrate there too. To combat them, the Neuron squad was created. Its participants use Legions as partners. This is the name given to creatures that have been tamed. They are connected to their masters by astral chains. The player is offered to control a newcomer who has just joined this team. At the very beginning, you can choose a protagonist – a brother or sister, who are also twins. The second relative will often appear in the story as an important NPC. The narrative is divided into 12 chapters. You can return to previously completed acts and replay missions. As you progress, new opportunities open up, allowing you to get to previously inaccessible places and see hidden content.

Astral Chain is a Japanese slasher film with a third-person view and anime graphics. Neuron members not only fight monsters, but also perform the duties of cops. Therefore, gamers will have to explore locations, find clues, interview witnesses, and conduct investigations. The hero or heroine travels through city neighborhoods and periodically travels to the astral plane. The main battles take place there. And in this dimension you need to solve riddles and overcome obstacles. During fights, the user simultaneously controls the main character and the selected Legion. These monsters differ noticeably in their skills. Their abilities dramatically affect the style of battle. You need to upgrade your players by developing a skill tree. It is possible to use melee and ranged weapons, bind opponents with an astral chain, perform combos, strike together, and evade enemy attacks.
