Astral Chain

This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the roles of police officers in a futuristic, cyberpunk setting. From a third-person perspective, players interact with characters and engage in melee combat with humanoid and/or animal-like creatures (i.e., Chimeras). Characters use swords, guns, and captive creatures (Legions) to defeat Chimeras; combat is frenetic, highlighted by gunfire, light effects, and explosions. In some areas, characters drink alcohol and weave/stumble with slurred speech; one mission requires players' character find liquor to obtain information from a drunk character. The game includes several references to a fictional drug called Blue Evolve: the drug is treated as an illegal substance, complete with characters dealing blue vials in suitcases; characters use the word “drugs” in dialogue. The words “sh*t,” “b*tch,” and “a*s” also appear in dialogue.
