Tuning up the Chaos Engine
It's not a hybrid and its effects on the environment could be terrible
Wouldn't you just know it. You get home from a hard day's do-gooding, fighting criminals and evil masterminds, ready for a nice dinner, and you find out that time and space is going to be destroyed. Work never ends when you're a hard-as-nails mercenary and it's up to you and your chums to stop The Chaos Engine, a diabolical machine that could mean the end of the world as we know it.
Thus ensues an action/adventure romp, viewed from a birds' eye perspective as your mercenary charges around various sci-fi and fantasy-influenced landscapes, handing out his own brand of hot-lead justice. The game was originally a best-seller on the old Amiga and Sega Mega Drive systems (ask your older brother or cousin) in 1993 and was renowned for its frantic action, surprisingly involving plot and addictive two-player option. The two-player cooperative mode is the only casualty of The Chaos Engine's move to mobile, where the second player is controlled by the computer.
Featuring six playable characters, each with their own weapons, strengths and weaknesses, and twelve levels of play set in three environments, The Chaos Engine is available now from Glu Mobile.
