GamingLives takes time out to chat with legendary British developer and creator of the X-COM universe to talk about his reboot of Chaos: The Battle of Wizards.
"We played and, unsurprisingly, lost a couple of matches against Julian but even this early prototype is playable enough to reassure us that the Chaos magic is still there. The changes to the gameplay are warranted and add an extra dimension when it comes to strategy while all the classic elements are in place. Purists will happily find themselves unirked. These are early days but the game seems to be heading in the right direction."
It seems amazing that a few blocky pixels and the odd beep could produce so many emotional highs and lows. Chaos, a multiplayer tactical game of duelling wizards, with its wild swings of luck often led to equally wild swings of mood.
Chaos Reborn is a turn-based strategy game that comes from Snapshot Games and X-Com designer Julian Gollop. It’s based on Gollop’s 1985 Games Workshop Chaos, and follows many of the original’s tenets.
Proud Kickstarter backer. This is a fair score, but I would nudge it a bit higher myself. 85 overall, and almost definitely a "must buy" for fans of the genre.
Tom Chick - "If there’s such a thing as 'too small to fail', it applies to this wonderful gem."
