Chaos Reborn - From the Creator of the Original X-COM

Wizard Tactics with Bluff and Deception, Procedurally Generated Realms, Online Multiplayer, Co-op and a Huge Single Player Campaign

Chaos Reborn is game with nail-biting decisions and twists of fate. Every battle is different, every realm is unique, and there is always something new to discover.

Based on my cult classic ZX Spectrum game ‘Chaos’, first published in 1985 by Games Workshop, Chaos Reborn is part sequel, part re-imagining of that original game brought up-to-date with high quality presentation.

The magic combat system remains true to the original Chaos. It is all about summoning a host of weird and mythical creatures, moving and fighting with them, and using your wizard to attack, defend, buff and de-buff with large array of spells. It is highly tactical and fast paced. But Chaos Reborn expands considerably on this by offering multiplayer modes, a single-player RPG system and co-op play.

Currently, we have an online multi-player prototype working, which you can see in the video. A third of the spells are implemented, but most of the graphics are place-holder and none of the creatures have animations yet. However, the game is fully functional and great fun to play. With your help we can implement all the features in our game design, and deliver the final game to you by spring 2015.

Thank you for your support, and I hope to be playing Chaos Reborn with you soon.


$180,000 target nearly at 10% (18k) already

It is the first kickstarter I've been tempted to pay towards.

Keeping an eye on it, certainly.

The Syndicate "sequel" one looks sweet, too.

Satellite Reign? I backed that, and have been less than impressed with their updates so far. Still holding out hope though.

I thought the recent video* looked aces.

Stuff in development that I'm backing is just Kung Fury and Star Citizen, I think.

This is worse than early access, surely? The games haven't even been started yet.

Buh?

Oh, you mean because I gave them money? Yeah, my brain is fine with this, for whatever reason.
