Astral Chain - Batonetta? - The Bear and Badger

I really liked this game, but yeah the platform stuff riding the dog legion thing was an absolute ball ache, and it all went on a bit longer than it should have done.

Still a really solid game though, liked the overall tone and once you get good switching a lot during battles and getting good unlocks for them all it becomes way more fun.

I’m totally trading this in. Everything apart from the fighting is kind of irritating in some way shape or form but also completely uninteresting. I have no desire to fall off another platform because the robot has some bullshit momentum and boring challenges demand some more concentration than the enjoyment can compensate.

It’s not a bad game but the story is not interesting enough to persist -

Spoiler:

is this another humans are saved in the internet thing?! Who cares? The story did that thing where you get incarcerated by your boss because you acted in a just way but they also have no means to hold you on a moral level unless they’re cool with killing all humanity b
and my non leet level skills are not getting the most out of anything but I am breezing through the fights still. - the health back on killing makes a lot really trivial.

Bah.

I’ll take it off your hands and beat the shop price.

In the end I didn’t trade it in. If you’re in no rush I might see how I feel in a week or so after the heat had cooled a bit more.

Yeah no rush at all. If you want to get rid at some point let me know, if not no probs.

Whichever guys. Gav. What do you reckon to game length? If it’s reasonably short I may take it next and try to get through it quick.

hylian_elf

I’m at about 20 hours and nearly at the end. But I’ve been doing every side mission I come across.

b0r1s

Yeah that sounds ok. Moot if you’re ok with it I’ll go next. Gav will pm you details.

afgavinstan

Cool cool cool. Will send out tomorrow or Tues.

Cheers bud.

hylian_elf

Wow, post game battles are good. Was doing well, but got hard quick.

Yeah, I got quite far into them but came across a real bastard in the end and haven't been back. There's absolutely tons of content there though.

Started chapter 11 last night. Was looking to ask if there's any way to upgrade the X-baton/Legatus once you change bases but I just pushed on anyway, can't be bothered to search every nook and cranny on the off chance. I had the the materials to beef them up properly at last but it seems like the upgrades option is tied to the station, so I haven't been able to do it for a while (which seems an odd punishment for holding fire with the premium/rare material codes). Can't seem to buy medicine without access to the medical bay either.

JonB

I thought it was possible in the new base, but can't be sure.

Moot_Geeza

It's likely that I just didnt find the right room. Finished it now anyway.

Howdy, Stranger!
