Chaos Reborn is a turn-based tactical role-playing game created by Julian Gollop and was part funded through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in April 2014.[2] Following an early access release in December 2014, the full game was released in October 2015.[3]

The game is a remake of Gollop's 1985 game Chaos: The Battle of Wizards.[4][5] The remake includes a number of enhancements over the original version including an RPG meta game and the ability to buy equipment such as armour, staffs, and talismans which give players a number of enhancements, such as extra spells and abilities.[6]

Players conjure beasts to do battle
Chaos-aligned spells have twisted the landscape, which in turn enhances the use of further chaos-aligned spells

Reception

The game was well received, and was given a score of 86/100 on reviews aggregation website Metacritic.[7] PC Gamer awarded it a score of 87%, saying "A true wizard’s wheeze, and a fine return for one of gaming’s oldest tactical classics."[8]
