Chaos - The Battle of Wizards

Richard Quirk

About this game

Chaos is a turn-based, tactical game. The aim of the game is to defeat all the other wizards by using magical spells and summoning creatures. Illusions are easy to cast, but can be just as easily disbelieved. A real Golden Dragon is a fearsome ally. Based on the 1985 ZX Spectrum game by Julian Gollop. Advert free.

If the game fails to run on your Android device, please send me an email and we'll try and work out what the problem is.

Ratings and reviews

great strategy game from the past. Julian Gollop classic. there are a few bugs still. when you move to engage, you don't always get an attack. also if you engage the enemy Wizard then he doesn't move any of his creatures and the game times out after 10 seconds. this allows you lots of free attacks on him.

very faithful recreation of the zx spectrum game. the controls however are not very intuitive and don't work that well on a touch screen. i had a problem getting back from the advanced options menu, i had to quit the game and relaunch it.

Ok, but in the original zx spectrum version you would 4 or 5 spells for killing an enemy wizard. I realise you have put meditate in to gain spells, but it has too low a chance of success, especially when it forces your wizard to miss a turn.
