Bound To Slay - Astral Chain

SPEED SAYS: Astral Chain is a unique, enjoyable, and accessible action title. Teaming up with your Legion is both a seamless and intuitive exercise, the management systems are easy to grasp, and levels contain much to discover, unlock and explore. The story may be a hit or miss depending on your tastes, multiplayer could’ve been better, and the graphical niceties a bit more polished, but once you get into the proceedings full-swing, you’ll find that Astral Chain will have roped you in hook, line, and sinker.
