There's a limit to the kind of soldiers you can choose, so you can't have put 5 flame throwers on the squad and expect a nice barbecue day )Īs in Cannon Fodder, you view the action from an isometric perspective, watching cartoony soldiers duke it out on the battlefield. This is very similar to Cannon Fodder games, except the soldiers here don't have individual personality (but then again, Cannon Fodder soldiers always look identical to me - they just have different names.
Before each battle, you select soldiers to make up the squad from various types including gunman, flame thrower, rocket launcher, dynamite blaster, and grenadier. The two opposing generals are named, appropriately enough, General Chaos and General Havoc. The game is essentially a quick and dirty battle (or a longer campaign mode that's just a series of battles) between two opposing squads of 5 soldiers each. Think of crossing the zany action gameplay and humor of Cannon Fodder with wacky strategic elements of Nuclear War, and you'll have a good idea of what General Chaos is like.
Second, I like how General Chaos had a mode where you could only have two guys on your squad.One of the most underrated games for the SEGA Genesis console, General Chaos is a fun and funny arcade/strategy game. For instance, I liked how General Chaos managed a four player game WITHOUT splitting the screen.
I acutally think The Outfit would have benefited a lof from learning some of the lessons from General Chaos' gameplay. Go download the ROM of General Chaos if you want to see what I mean first hand. I mean I could go on and one.some of these may seem fairly general but I promise you, if you have played both games you know EXACTLY what I mean. Seventh, lots of maps with rivers you can drown in and other such terrain similarities. Sixth, destructive enviornments as important to the game. Fifth, the open treasure chests filled with gold strewn about the maps. Fourth, the characters themselves (the machine gunner, the flamethrower, the bazooka, the grenader). Third, you get to control one character directly and you tell the others where to go. First of all the basic game concept of two teams pitted against each other in an over the top cartoony war for territory. Does anybody else agree with me that this game is a remake? However, I feel like they lost some of the vital multiplayer components. General Chaos as a four player game for the Genesis was easily in my top 3 games of all time for the Genesis, so I am glad somebody finally remade it. Is it me or is the Outfit a very, very blatant remake of the Electronic Arts game General Chaos for the Sega Genesis.
