Astral Chain

[Downshift 54]

Astral Chain

Nintendo Page

 

New Nintendo IP from Platinum Games, the makers of Nier: Automata and Bayonetta. Looks like an anime "near-future" type sci-fi theme.

Ghost in the Shell meets Evangelion meets Persona meets Xenoblade or something.

 

E3 Trailer:

 

Premise and gameplay looks cool, but also looks like gets pretty heavy on the shonen anime angle.

Pretty good initial reviews. 87 on Metacritic.

This is similar to Daemon x Machina for me, without trophies/achievements, I might get this cheap/on-sale but could also see myself never playing it, similar to The Last Story and Pandora's Tower in Wii acks (Pandora's Tower came to mind when I first saw this, I think it had a similar chain-attaching mechanic in combat)
