Gaming Is Astral Chain meant to be this difficult?

[Deleted User]

I've played Astral Chain for a few hours and find certain encounters very difficult, even with the 60fps mod applied. I find certain enemies attack hard and fast and I can't anticipate their movements in time to dodge. The only way to win the battle is to use lots of healing items. In my scores I get mostly D ranks. Is this normal for a first playthrough or do I just suck at this game?

Maybe the mod is the problem ?

I had no problem on a normal playthrough of Astral Chain, but you have to make use of the tools your Legion has. They're not here just for show but because they're effective.

I doubt the mod is the problem because raising the framerate makes the game easier by reducing the input latency.

Pretty sure in some cases, it also makes the mobs react way faster than they're supposed to be.

In any case, it's not a hard game if you play normally0

Astral chain is a amazing game but difficult especially towards the end of the game. 60 fps isnt really the way the game was intended to be played and so parts might be designed for slower paces. Not sure though as i dont have a modded switch rn. If you think whichever part your on is hard wait till you get to noah prime and the file 12 levels.

Astral Chain is a difficult game if you never played it before so its normal

The design is very pleasant visually except that it remains very repetitive especially at the level of the astral plane and chimeras especially since there are few places to discover in the game finally.

I found the game somewhat difficult, but I agree with above, that make sure you're taking full advantage of your Legion, as it's abilities will help you plenty during fights.
