![]() ![]() Slide through section to section, beat enemies to a pulp, rinse and repeat, and once the gimmick of the Legions wears off, this one quickly finds ways to grow old. ![]() In short: for a game that already had so much in common with its Capcom brethren, this is not a good sign.Īt its core, Chaos serves as nothing more than another button mashing action title. Its great if you decide to use it, but in the end, picking a couple Legions at random will probably get you through just as well as carefully analyzing every possible aspect. The problem? Most of that depth goes to waste, despite each Legion's strengths and weaknesses, picking one or the other strategically before a level will never give you that big a leg up. Add to that the ability to upgrade any of your current legions and you have a little more depth than most action fans are probably used to. As you progress, more and more Legions become available, including the ultimate shredder - Thanatos (whom you start the game with, only to loose at the end of the first mission). Each Legion has its own strength, from pulverizing fleshy beasts to destroying mechanical baddies, picking the group that's best for the job is how to get passed each level the quickest. Its these legions that give Chaos Legion its biggest point of separation when compared to action-cousin DMC. He's far from being alone, as Seig also has the ability to summon Legions, creatures that fight, protect, and generally make life a little easier for him. Working against a former friend who had once been a leader among men, Seig must put all he knows on the line to prevent a catastrophe from occurring. Huge sword in hand, our hero Seig Warheit must single handedly (well, sort of single handedly) fight of masses of destructive entities and prevent a massive amount of evil from being unleashed upon the world. ![]() You would think Capcom would learn their lesson, but it certainly appears that they didn't. In a lot of ways, it feels more like Devil May Cry 2, where style was placed on a much higher rung than the substance. Chaos Legion is follows the same vein in terms of style and presentation, and really, it feels like a DMC pretty well all the way through. ![]() Capcom once held fan support in spades when it came to gothic gaming experiences, back when Devil May Cry was only known as the action game to start what should have been an excellent series, not for spawning a mediocre cash-in sequel in the form of DMC2. ![]()
