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

The creator of 1994 Microprose classic X-COM: UFO Defense Julian Gollop has turned to Indie Development and Kickstarter to recreate one of his classic titles.. the ZX Spectrum release Chaos.

Chaos was released in 1985 by Games Workshop (yes they used to dabble) and Reborn is described as part re-imagining, part sequel.

At the core of Chaos Reborn is the battle between wizards, fought in an arena with a limited selection of spells. The last wizard standing is declared the victor. Features include: 

• Quick playing, turn-based combat. Battles typically last 10-30 minutes. 
• 80 unique spells, including 24 creatures - from dragons to goblins - fully animated in the 3D Unity Engine. 
• Classic spells from the original Chaos - including the Gooey Blob, Raise Dead, and Magic Wood. 
• Bluff and deception - summon creatures as illusions for 100% success, and use Disbelieve spell on suspected enemy illusions. 
• Manipulate the balance of the Cosmos between Law and Chaos to your advantage. 
• Procedurally generated 3D battle arenas with various types of terrain, and different levels of elevation. 
• Multiple game modes, including Classic Chaos mode - fully random battle set-up with random selection of spells.

Donator to the kickstarter and you  get from thanks at the $1 Undisbeliever level to a DRM free version of the game, PDF artbook, Soundtrack, Alpha and Beta access, a PDF Gameguide, in-game gear, in game abilities, and lots more including an invitation to the launch party in London at the "Supreme Benefactor" $5000 level.
