About The Chaos Engine

✦ AI summary

Fight through steampunk wastelands solo or with a co-op partner, choosing from six unique mercenaries to take down the Chaos Engine's mechanical horrors across four dynamic worlds. This enhanced remake of the classic Amiga run-and-gun lets you experience the original's brutal arcade action with modernized controls or switch to Classic mode for the authentic 90s feel.

Prepare for the dark world of The Chaos Engine, a steampunk Victorian age in which one or two players must fight the hostile creations of the Chaos Engine across four dynamic landscapes and take part in the ultimate battle.

Choose from six hard-nailed mercenaries each with their own unique weapons and skills.

Those who have the strength and skill to overturn the Chaos Engine will be remembered.

(The Chaos Engine was originally known as Soldiers of Fortune in North America)

Classic Bitmap Brother's retro-gaming steampunk co-op goodness, but a mixed re-release. Things to be aware of: - Other than a bloom effect on select sprites (shots, explosions, etc) this pretty much identical to an emulator experience. This release isn't bringing anything new to the table. - Colour differences between the original Amiga (more muted) and the PC versions can be divisive. So if you grew up on the Amiga version that could be an obstacle. - It's a hard game and there's no difficulty selection on the PC version (this was only a feature in the SNES version I believe). - The Mac binary is 32bit only so won't run on any current version of macOS and the Windows version won't run through Crossover. Ironically meaning it's easier to run the original than this updated version. Anyway, hopefully some of that was useful.

Useless... Not because the game sux. I loved this game. The reason is that the remaster is a net garbage. Can't even select a character on the character selection screen because it stuck there. I don't know, but yeah... Rebellion should have the balls and find someone who fixes it with even AI within 5 minutes... So I just wanted to tell, that... Rebellion SUX!

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
