Chaos Legion

A good ol mindless hack and slash on easier difficulties, but a truly strategic action game on higher ones. With a limit of two Legions per stage and the ability to switch between stages, you absolutely MUST pick and choose which legions to take. Not the best system, as this forces you to pick a couple of legions and stick with them. But with the ability to go back and grind after stage nine, you will not be left twisting in the wind if a certain legion is needed later. Going into this game, do not be fooled, it is a spectacle fighter through and through. It looks nice, it feels nice, and gameplay is the focus here. Don't expect a riveting story. You buy this game for the hours and hours and fighting.Originally being on the ps2, there is no multiplayer. The story mode consists of 14 individual stages, the later ones (about stage 10 and onward) will more then likely take you upwards of an hour per. It is by no means a short game. The stages seem linear the first time through, but once you are granted the ability to go back to stages your newly acquired legions and personal abilities allow for finding extra secrets.I personally am a fan of grinding games. Persona 3 and 4, very long RPGs with a loooot of grinding, Final Fantasy games, the Souls games, the list goes on. Chaos Legion is on this list. If you really want to get the most out of this game, it is a lot of grinding. Back on the ps2, my longest save file was 200 hours of gameplay. But going with the "spectacle fighter" genre, at least you won't be visually bored. It looks good, it looks cool, many, many ways to approach battle, and it allows you the opportunity to try out combinations of legions you previously weren't comfortable with. Now, you don't have to sink 200 hours into this game like I did (I just wanted to have 100%) but prepare for about 50 hours or so to feel like a complete experience.Now, the topic everybody wants to know about this particular version of the game. "How is the port?" The port is decent. It is optimized for PC, system requirements are a joke. 1Ghz processor, 128 MB of RAM, 68MB of VRAM, and 1.2 GB of storage space. Capcom could have made those requirements higher by not optimizing for PC architecture. (Controls allowing, looking at these specs, most modern PHONES could run this game. So no matter what PC you have you're more then likely able to play this game perfectly.) However, Capcom did not do much with this game. It is slightly higher resolution then the ps2 version, but even maxed out, the game fails to look as good as even Resident Evil 4. Which came out in 2004. This version came out 2006. Jaggies are pretty noticeable. This port works perfectly. But effort was a little lacking. Can't say I blame Capcom though. The uncomfortable topic of "this game is just DMC with a different coat of paint" is marginally correct. The original back of the box even said, "If you like Devil May Cry, you'll love this game." Chaos Legion didn't sell very well, so the lack of effort in this port, is not entirely undeserved.

I'm an amatuer video game collector, I have more than five hundred video games. This is literally 2nd on my top ten favorite games of all time (followed by Ueda's Shadow of The Colossus). This game is a gothic style, linear, hack and slash game. One makes this game completely different from any other game I've ever heard of or played is that you rely on your summons (monsters that protect you and fight for you). By going through stages and completing them you can level up your minions and make them stronger in different aspects like damage, defense, and the number of monsters you can summon. As a lover of electronic gaming, it's an experience I'm glad I got to fulfill and yes I personally have played through the game many many times the replay value is high for me and will continue to be long after the ninth or tenth generations video game consoles hit markets.

I'm very pleased. I received my game on time and it was wrapped in the original packaging. It's working smoothly. If the game ever shuts off on you it would have to be a computer problem. Definitely a great buy!

The copy provided to me was only 1 dvd and the dvd didn't have all the data files necessary for installing the game; after a while, the installation wizard asks for data3.cab which isn't even in the dvd the game came in. The copy I got was an old one with XPLOSIV on the cover, suggest avoiding or returning such copy of you get it.

The game itself is just great, 5 star. Unfortunately, the program shuts down for no reason every now and then, and I have to fight the same scene again and again just because the stupid error, 2 star. On average, 3.5 star.

Great game but horrible for the PC. You can't use a controller and the graphics don't show on levels. Buy the PS2 version.

Arrived in Perfect Condition. Not damage, and the product works with no issues. Shipped within a week's time. For Devil May Cry Fans that hated DMC2 this was a place holder for that time until DMC3.

Classic
