Compared to souls-like? Yea it isnt. Compared to other high octane action games? It kinda is. The dodge is mostly what I was referring to - it's kinda awful. But then again a lot of the game is figuring out how to speed yourself up and kill as quickly as possible.

I feel like at first I was playing it like Bayonetta where you can pretty much dodge out of any attack you're doing instantly. In Astral Chain you actually have to commit to your moves and attacking leaves you vulnerable. It requires a much different playstyle, but once I got used to it I loved it.

I agree, I like it a lot too, the only thing I'd say that is outright awful is the rating system. But that's a discussion for another time I suppose.

Looks like Astral Chain but less awful.

Nice hot take. Astral Chain is great. 87 meta. 89 User score. If you didn't like it. That's cool but to call it awful is a hot take.

If the battle system is great, I may end up giving this game a try (a decent story would be nice bonus).

Out of all the games I saw in the xbox event, I was excited for this one the most! Glad to see it's coming to Steam but too bad it's skipping the Switch.

Yeah, I'll pick it up when it gets ported. I really need the ability to pick up and play anywhere with an RPG these days. It's honestly getting to be make or break anymore. If it's a game I HAVE to play, I'll bite the bullet and "preview" the first 10-20 hours on PS4 and then do a full run-through on the Switch. I just don't have the time or desire to put 100+ hours into one game when I'm strictly tied to the couch.

For a lot of older systems I have two setups, so I can get a change of scenery when playing a classic RPG - and usually alternate playing it with something fun and breezy on a handheld for a change of pace.
