While it might seem overkill at first glance to have up to six swordsmen patrolling the battlefield looking for enemies, Chaos Legion has swarms of enemies in its stages that can only be rivaled by those of the Dynasty Warriors series. Fortunately, Sieg can switch between two sets of Legions in each stage, providing a certain amount of flexibility in battle. If the Soul bar is ever drained completely, the Legion’s amulet is cracked and cannot be reactivated until it is refilled to a certain point. In addition to Sieg’s Life bar, there is also a Soul bar which is used to gage the life of the Legions. Legions can also be used as guards for the main character that help clear out attacking enemy groups. There are seven legions in all in the game, and each brings their own strengths and weaknesses to battle. However, when leveled enough, they give the ability “Double Jump” to the main character, which enables him to leap to greater heights. For example, the Claw Legion “Flawed” consists of several birds that are particularly effective against metallic enemies. Besides serving as helpers in combat, each legion bestows several different benefits to the main character. These Legions are summoned monsters which can be brought in and out of the battle at will. What sets this game apart is its innovative combo system, which utilizes the power of “Legions”. In fact, the battle mechanics are very similar, with the main character fighting hordes of enemies in several preset stages. The odd combination of action and RPG elements may not appeal to everyone, but it wrapped in a wonderful presentation that shows great effort by the game’s development team.Īt first glance, Chaos Legion seems nothing more than a spruced up version of Devil May Cry. But Chaos Legion is an RPG in its own right and a very trying title at that. Many RPGamers were quick to recognize that the gameplay mechanics were very similar to that of a previous Capcom title: Devil May Cry. In light of the surprising success of Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter, which was released earlier this year in North America, they decided to bring over a fairly unknown game based on a Japanese manga published by Kadokawa Shoten. Despite its reputation as “The House That Ryu Built”, the RPG genre is no stranger to the company, as the Breath of Fire series is one of its mainstay traditions for better or for worse. It’s hard to believe that Capcom’s 25th anniversary is coming up next year.
