GR-UK writes: "The original game - Chaos: The Battle of Wizards - pre-dates X-COM by nearly a decade. Chaos Reborn is a faithful reworking of that original concept, leaping from ZX Spectrum to the modern PC, slipping quietly past thirty years of progress in the process. It's impressive then, that given the game's reverence to older gameplay systems, it still feels fresh. Our hands-on time with an early build was proof enough that bringing Chaos to a contemporary audience should prove to be a wise move."
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.
