Chaos Field is a top-down space shooter similar in concept to the Gradius series , or Ikaruga . You control one of three ships, each with their own pilot and unique weapon systems. The game takes place over 5 phases, in each phase you face a number of boss battles.
The game uses a unique in-game difficulty adjuster called "fields", where you can play in either Order or Chaos. Compared to Order, the Chaos Field offers increased firepower and abilities but also does the same for your enemies. If you can play in the Chaos Field , you stand to gain substantially more points.
The gameplay is focused on mastering the use of these unique weapon systems and strategies to defeat each boss battle, which are the main components of the game. The game's difficulty adjuster system adds an extra layer of challenge and strategy to the gameplay, making it a thrilling experience for top-down space shooter fans.
Chaos Field was released on Sega Dreamcast in December 2004, offering a unique and challenging gaming experience for players looking for a top-down space shooter with depth and strategy.
