Chaos Overlords

I spent years thinking i made this game up after i lost the disc in a house move and forgot its name! A good chunck of my teens was spent playing this game after i found it in a bargin bin. The interface has aged, its true. However if you stick with it you will find a great turnbased game. As mentioned in another review, it plays alot like a boardgame. It has some great artwork to represent your gangs as you set to work taking out rival gangs. You can equipment with various items you can research and each square of the 'board' contains various building of different values that add to your empire. If boardgames are your thing, i wouldnt think twice about trying it out! i know what im going to be doing for the next few months!

"Chaos Overlords March 6 No, we're not dead. Although you wouldn't know it if you came to this page. I truly apologize for the lack of updates. Chaos Overlords on GOG: They don't seem to be motivated to produce the Mac version anymore. They also aren't interested in fixing the white block error in the Windows version of the game. The product is a wrapper around our original exe, so we don't have the ability to make a Mac build or fix bugs. Both issues are quite disappointing to us." uhmmm

I managed to play on these OS using windows 98 compatibility mode and 8 bit color. But it has to be on 32-bit systems. If it's a 64-bit OS, the white rectangles will appear even in compatibility mode. I played that title at the time of its release and now recently and it's just amazing, it's aged really well. For those who like the style of play, it's worth it.

Chaos Overlords is unlike any strategy game I've ever played. It has a colorful premise, fun gameplay and maybe the best soundtrack I've heard on a computer game. The graphics might seem a bit dated, but the game initially was released about 15 years ago, and it holds up well. What I really like is its subtlety. As other reviewers have noted, Chaos Overlords has a lot of depth that only becomes apparent after playing several times. Gangs like the Nancy Boys and equipment like Cool Shades and Boomboxes might seem peripheral, but with repeated play you'll find everything has its uses. For strategy gamers looking for a whole new challenge beyond set-piece battle and God games, this is the one to get.

This is a turned based strategy game, that it played on a grid/board like chess. Its futuristic/cyberpunk game, and do rely recommend it . This game does not work on win 10
