Astral Chain Recomp

Astral Chain Recomp turns PlatinumGames’ 2019 Switch game Astral Chain into a native x86-64 Windows program by static recompilation. It is built on the pipeline of TotK Recomp, which gave it the lifter, runtime, graphics translation and installer. The setup carries no game data and no code taken from the game: it extracts the player’s own dumped base game, merges the 1.0.1 update into it, translates the game’s code to C and compiles it on the player’s computer, so the result contains the game and is meant only for that player.

The developer reports it playable from the title screen through the story, with the game’s music, effects, voices and saves. It runs at 60 fps by default with a 30 fps switch and a cutscene speed fix, and adds custom resolutions, AMD FSR 1 upscaling up to 4K, render scaling and up to 16x anisotropic filtering. Keyboard, mouse and gamepad all work, with remapping, rumble and gyro, and mods and data cheats load in the emulator formats.

The setup and in-game menu are in English, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese. Shader preparation at install time and a Linux release are planned.
