Chaos Rings is a iPod RPG series developed by Media Vision and published by the well-known Square Enix. The first game in the series, Chaos Rings, was released in 2010. A prequel to the storyline, Chaos Rings Omega, came out not too long after the first game. The story continues in the sequel, Chaos Rings II. The three games do not have much difference between each other except the skills and some names. The game itself is similar to Final Fantasy. Both the gameplay and the character design are closely related.
The characters of Chaos Rings were designed by Yusuke Naora, designer of some of the Final Fantasy games. It is very anime-ish and both the environment and animations are well detailed. The gameplay of Chaos Rings is a turn-based RPG. The player controls the main character throughout the game. An on screen thumb-stick controls the player’s movement which are the basic up, down, left, and right. Aside from the basic movements, all there is tapping. The game also requires strategy. The player must choose wisely what skill to use next in order to survive in battle. The battle system is not too complex, but has some difficulty.
The game is divided into separate “dungeons”. Each dungeon consists of different monsters of different attributes. As you defeat enemies, you get a chance to learn the skills the monster had. As you continue to level, the skills grow stronger and there will be a wider variety of skills you can obtain. There isn’t much of a “skill tree” in this game, but a “skill system”. Without a skill tree the game is more laid back, unlike the true RPGs where they are important and determine how well you do in the game.
The storyline of Chaos Rings is very elaborate. To truly understand it, the player must play Chaos Rings Omega and Chaos Rings. All the games related to each other in a way. Of all the iPod games I know and played, the Chaos Rings series has the best storyline. Within the game, there are multiple “paths” you can take. Even though they all lead to one ending, the way of getting there is not always the same. Along with the main story, there are also side quests as well as a story. The story is not as deep, but is a fun way to get away from the main campaign.
I have finished playing all three games of the series and highly recommend it for people who enjoy turn-based RPGs. The game is amazing for an iPod game. Each game contains over 50+ hours of gameplay. It is a great way to pass time. I hope for a new game for the series to come out, but it is likely they ended it with Chaos Rings 2.
