If not, you'll be hard pressed to even beat the game once with less than 4 hours of committed time. If you're like me, expect 50+ game hours out of this game. I'm determined to beat it with each group, and hit level 99 with all characters. It certainly isn't reason to reduce its rating.Ĭhaos Rings is the only title I will be playing for quite some time, outside of my normal review requirements. The balance issue is a key point for some individuals, but the game play is so solid that it's hard to really hold this against the game. At this point, my characters are around level 46 and I am so well equipped that I am killing level 71 mobs without much trouble. The only grief I have, and let me emphasize it's a light grief, is the ability for characters to overpower to the point that the game is fairly easy. It's an amazing system that I found NO problems with, at any point in the game. No frustration that is associated with click to move. No awkwardness as your finger goes out of the joystick area. Instead of a stationary joystick, wherever the player clicks on the screen to move, a joystick appears. If it doesn't then developers are blind to how well this works. The controls for Chaos Rings will revolutionize how joystick games are created on the iDevice format. I won't ruin it, but make sure you load the game after your first run through of the game. By accident I loaded the game, thinking it would start my newgame+, and I was greeted with a surprise. After beating the game, there is an option to begin a newgame+, or an option to load. Levels contain random encounters, treasure chests, puzzles to solve, and two bosses in each level to overtake. Each level has a set of level difficulties, so the player gets to choose if they want to play through fairly easy, or if they really want a challenge. The game is divided up into 4 levels and two arena battles. Not everyone is going to spend time overpowering their characters, but what it amounts to is a lot of game time regardless of how you play.
there is at least 24 hours of play through to see all 4 storylines, and 48 hours if you go through each of the newgame+ options. It took me 6 hours to play through the first time, and I ended up being about 20 or so levels overpowered. A newgame+ system provides countless re-play option for each of those four story lines. Four separate character sets allow players to play through the storyline four separate times with unique elements to the story being evident in each play through. The story line is amazing, and while it's a bit more shallow than a console game, is more immerse then most apps can offer. This game delivered on every one, and surpassed in quite a few of them. I had a lot of expectations going into this game, as I love Square Enix as a franchise. The sound track is exactly what long time Square Enix lovers have come to expect, and brings a whole new level of enjoyment to playing the game. The enemies have the detail and AI that fans of Square Enix have come to love, and the environments are rich and detailed.
CHAOS CONTROL APP PS2
Graphically, Chaos Rings is on par with a PS2 Square Enix game, and the game looked sharp on my 32 GB iPod Touch. Abilities are assigned in a similar way to the dress sphere system of Final Fantasy X-2, but it's a micro version that combines elements of the "blue mage" enemy ability system as well. An innovative combat system allows for strategic planning of each battle, and the various abilities keep combat fresh throughout the game. The plot twists keep the game exciting and the multi-group storyline approach brings re-play value to an all new level.Ĭhaos Rings is a turn based RPG that follows the same kind of design that many of Square Enix's games do. Not often do I find myself experiencing the adrenaline rush that I realized with this games storyline. Players are charged with discovering the secrets of the arena, finding their Chaos Rings, and discovering the link they have with one another. Square Enix has several titles that have done just that, and with Chaos Rings, they've done it again.Ĭhaos Rings rich storyline is delivered flawlessly in this pocket sized title. Few games can rightfully claim that they've helped to define capabilities on a system, or that they have the staying power to be considered epic.
CHAOS CONTROL APP SERIES
Many of the standards that are accepted in the genre found their birth with Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, or one of the various other series and single games that Square Enix has created. Square Enix is a house hold name in the Role Playing Game genre, and for good reason.
