Astral Chain, a brand new action game from PlatinumGames!

As part of a police special unit, it is up to you to fight against mysterious extraterrestrial creatures that have invaded the world. In the Ark, a multicultural city in the near future, disaster strikes when gates to another dimension suddenly appear. Dangerous creatures emerge, attacking people and contaminating the land, and the regular police forces are unable to cope with them. To defend against these threats, a brand new special unit called Neuron is established. Choose between two playable characters - one male and one female - on your adventure. The character you do not choose also appears as your younger twin and as a member of Neuron. To combat the creatures, humanity has developed a special weapon: the Legion. The Legion acts as your partner and assists you in your investigations. However, it is only in battle that the Legion shows its true capabilities.

Work together with the Legion and utilize all possible combat styles to fight your enemies. You can both attack the same enemy simultaneously, target different opponents, or send your Legion on the offensive while you support it with items. Use this synergistic action system to fight and explore together!
