NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Four developers - Atlus, Aruze, Red Entertainment,
and Idea Factory - pool their resources together and
share 36 of their branded characters in a tactical
strategy game which features faces from many
franchises. The somber Beyond the Grave and
Rocketbilly Red
Cadillac appear along with Alice, Karin, and Yuri as
main characters who share the stage with a
bustling cast roster. Characters featured in Chaos Wars
hail from Gun Grave, Gakuen Toshi Vara Noir, Blazing
Souls, Generation of Chaos, Growlanser, Shadow
Hearts, and Shinki Gensou Spectral Souls.
Chaos Wars is played in familiar tactical strategic fashion where
players marshal a party of adventurers and battle
foes by choosing attacks and magic from a menu of
options. At the outset of the game, the party of two
tackles a couple of goldfish-like creatures that
counter with weak blows. The game play follows the
same design specifics of Idea Factory's Spectral
Souls franchise and might be mistaken for a game
from the series were it not for the large assortment
of new characters. The movement phases in Chaos Wars
use a free roaming system where a circular perimeter
decides the range of movement. Once a target area is
selected, the hero rambles over and stands pat as he
waits for the next command.
Every order
shipping today will include a bonus
Chaos Wars DVD video which sets up the background
story for the game.
While supplies last, we will also include the bonus
DVD for orders shipping in the future.

Game Notes
» In the intro to the game, three heroes in
silhouette stand still amidst a fiery background
before the Atlus X Aruze X Red Entertanment X
Idea Factory logo text pops. It's a
collaborative effort by the four companies. As the
intro kicks off, the main characters from the game
are introduced in a slow moving cinematic intro.
Before the intro ends, images of various locales in
the game and manga panels are shown.
» Start a New Game and a voiceover reads the
dialogue on screen which sets up the background
storyline and world of Chaos Wars.
» All of the dialogue in the game is voiced
by actors. To skip the dialogue and fast forward
through it, press the TRIANGLE button once and it'll
pass by in speedy motion.
» The first battle takes place in a floating
battlefield with a wall's worth of books in the
background. The enemies consist of two goldfish-like
creatures who travel on land. To select the heroine,
move the pointer with the D-pad or L-analog over the
gal and press the "O" button. Click on the first
option (move) and a red perimeter pops up on screen
which shows her movement limitation. A comrade will
join her by teleporting into the battlefield and
after a short conversation, the goldfish home in for
the attack.
» The enemies do about 4 damage each and the
attacks are shown in quick animated sequences. After
their turn is over, its time to counterattack. To
perform a healing spell, select the second option
and a half-circle grid appears. Target the character
in need of HP and he'll be healed for 18 HP points
worth. To attack the enemies, press the "O-Button"
over him and his options appear. Select the 2/3
option and then choose an attack option from two
possible choices. The attack commands are depicted
with a sword next to them while the spells have a
bluish orb next to them. In the attack sequence, a
cylindrical grid appears as the targeting cursor.
Place it over a fish and it's possible to strike
out.
» After defeating the two goldfish, the party
levels up. After the battle is won, the game prompts
player to save data to memory card.
» When attacking a target, their HP bar is
shown on the bottom of the screen and it loses HP
after the attack connects.
» To center the pointer on the hero or
heroine, press the X button at any time and it
teleports right over him/her.
» After the battle, the game ranks your
performance and awards a letter grade. Just like
high school.
» Some of the in-game music has a techno beat
quality to it.
