Curses 'N Chaos

Pixelated beat 'em up that goes by waves. Only one screen per stage, then you have 10 waves of enemies and finally a boss. It gets very tough very quickly. Passing stage 2 was near impossible in singleplayer and challenging in coop. We managed to see the boss of stage 3 but couldn't beat it. I don't think it's for nothing the percentages for achievement completions are so low (only 2.5% finished). The main problem is that you have too many waves and you have to beat every enemy before you can tackle the boss again. New enemies keep popping up even if you haven't defeated the current ones so you can get easily swarmed if you're not fast enough and especially if it's enemies that require more than one hit. Plus there's a timer with an invincible grim reaper that appears if you take too much time. I liked the chiptune music, the little I heard of it. The interface was clunky and buying items seemed pointless as you can only carry one item and you get plenty of them during play. Moves were limited to less than a handful and I tended to use the same one.

Curses bring chaos Heroes battle waves of foes Potions turn the tide

Curses 'N Chaos is a fast-paced retro action game developed and published by Tribute Games Inc., a studio known for its love of classic arcade-inspired experiences. Built around the idea of surviving relentless enemy waves while searching for a cure to a magical affliction, the game delivers a straightforward but highly entertaining premise. Players take control of bounty hunters Leo or Lea, who find themselves cursed by the sinister Wizard King. To break the spell, they must gather ingredients from defeated monsters and work with an alchemist to create the legendary Elixir of Life. While the story serves primarily as a framework for the action, it provides enough motivation to keep players invested in the journey. The core gameplay revolves around intense arena-based combat where survival depends on quick reflexes, smart positioning, and efficient use of resources. Unlike traditional side-scrolling beat-'em-ups that emphasize exploration and stage progression, Curses 'N Chaos keeps players confined to compact battlefields packed with enemies. This design choice creates a constant sense of urgency, as new threats appear from every direction with little downtime between encounters.…
