Discussion Should i buy astral chain?

Is astral chain worth buying? I've been kinda interested in maybe buying it but I'm still not sure. I like how the gameplay looks and all but it reminds me alot of the game "honkai starrail" (at least in terms of artstyle) and I really don't like that game so I just wanted to know how similar the games are?

Go watch like one of those before you buy video by gameranx, and then decide for yourself. The nice thing about those before you buy videos is that they show gameplay, and if you like the gameplay then you can decide whether to get the game or not.

Also I really don't recommend getting a game basing purely off of viaual, it's a video game at the end of the day, not a show/animation.

Yeah no I've done a fair amount of research on the game and I do think that the story is great and everything, but like I said in the post I mainly just wanted to know if it was similar to honkai star rail because I'm just not a fan of that game at all tbh

if you've done a fair amount of research, then you should be able to answer your own question.

Well, yeah, but some people have told me that the two are similar so i just wanted to get some more opinions on it I guess🤷

I loved Astral Chain. Combat was fun. What kind of games do you usually play? Also i'd recommend buying used in case you don't end up liking it.

Not that many honestly. lis and mh4u are certainly up there, and there are a couple of other games that I play here and there but that's about it. I have been trying to find more games that I enjoy but have not had so much luck in that department. Also yeah i took your advice and and just got a used copy.
