What is Generation of Chaos?

Generation of Chaos is a classic turn-based strategy RPG that was originally released in 1991 for the TurboGrafx-16 video game console. It was later ported to other platforms such as the Sega Genesis. The game has players taking on the role of generals who must lead their armies to conquer territories on a world map in order to unite the land.

Gameplay takes place on an overworld map that is divided up into territories. Players move their army units around on this map one turn at a time. Territories can be captured through strategic maneuevers and battles. Combat takes place in a separate battle screen whenever two opposing armies occupy the same territory.

As a strategy RPG, Generation of Chaos has many traditional RPG elements incorporated into its gameplay as well. Generals can be customized with classes that grant different abilities and specialize in certain weapons or magic. There is also a weapon crafting system that allows players to forge new equipment for their units. The story and settings take heavy inspiration from medieval fantasy fiction.

Overall, Generation of Chaos is considered an early pioneer of tactical strategy RPGs. Its fusion of wargame elements with traditional fantasy roleplaying set the stage for many acclaimed games in the genre going forward. The game still retains a cult following among retrogaming fans for its unique mechanics and challenging difficulty.
