About Orbs of Chaos


Orbs of Chaos is a horde survivor action rogue-lite where you wield unholy orbs to cast powerful spells and defeat endless waves of enemies.

Each run lasts 21 minutes, during which you face 7 challenging bullet hell inspired bosses and thousands of enemies.

With 10 different starting spell sets, various items, talents, levels, and randomized enemy encounters, no two playthroughs are ever the same!

Become the Caster herself in the twisted Realm of Despair and embark on a journey of hatred.

Orb Combination

Before each run, you pick 3 out of 5 available orbs. During the run, you can combine these orbs to cast any of the 10 possible spells they create.

Corruption Tree

Earn Chaos Shards by killing bosses and spend them to corrupt yourself, gaining powerful permanent talents while making the Chaos stronger.

Maybe you noticed that the font is different between those two GIFs. You can change the font.

Current Features:
  • Chaos Mode: Customize game settings and access the overleveled spells. Push the limits, practice, and unleash chaos.
  • Corruption Tree: 20 permanent talents that make you even more lethal. (Talent number is currently rising and will be updated.)
  • 35 Powerful Spells: Combinations of Chaos unlock 35 unique spells in total. Some talents affect the outcomes of certain spells.
  • 5 Unique Orbs: 5 orbs mean 10 starting combinations, similar to having 10 different classes. Other than contributing to spells, each orb also has special auto-shooting abilities like knockback, life steal, and bouncing.
  • Secrets with their own enemies and bosses.
  • 7+ unique bosses.
  • 20+ unique items to be stronger in a different way each run.
  • 10+ unique enemy types, and they all spawn with a weakness towards an orb that the player has.
  • Music coming straight from the Chaos for each minute and for each boss, increasing energy/stress/anxiety constantly.
  • All hand-drawn retro pixel art. Thanks to Dad for drawing almost every artwork.

i loved the art style and music. it is an original and creative game, which is the reason this review is positive. loved it being this much of a sandbox roguelike with different game modes. biggest down side is the learning curve. there is too much combinations of spells to choose form that it gets exhausting. i love these kind of difficulties in games but this felt like too much and there was not a worthy hook that kept me in. game just needs a better tutorial rather than text walls. a little assist on learning the dynamics between the mechanics would suffice and keep your approach of "we wanted the players to figure out the game" safe

I've only scratched the surface of this game. Very cool menu and game design. Def worth the money and can't wait to sink some time into it!

Early game sucks a lot ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. But once you upgrade the talent tree it becomes much better. The gimmick is just like invoker, but the skills are like totally unclear. The details on what it does, and how much it does it (the numbers), are on different places. Still, it's a fun game.

I'll try this game again right now, but on a first attempt it felt exhausting. It gives you many spells to choose from, the system for changing between them in a run is tedious, and then you have to upgrade them for there to be any worth using them, anyway. All the while the game feels slow and basic. I was not impressed, but I will try again after writing this review. Edit: tried again. Graphics, sound and music aren't a reason to play. Gameplay just feels slow and unrewarding. There's a colour mechanic, but as monsters of all colours are on the screen, it's likely best just to have one of each orb, which renders the mechanic moot. I don't get the point. 4/10, would not recommend at half price.
