There's been brief mentions of this game in other threads but I thought it deserved a topic of its own. There may be quite a few people on this forum who might be interested in a remake of Chaos by Julian Gollop, the creator of the XCOM series.
Chaos Reborn is based upon a ZX Spectrum game that was released thirty years ago and published by Games Workshop. It's a fast paced strategy game where battles are usually resolved in about 20 to 30 turns.
You begin each battle as a wizard with a book of spells that you use to summon an army, create defensive fortifications, upgrade your wizard's equipment and attack your opponents directly. One of the defining features of Chaos is that the balance of power in the battle can change dramatically from one turn to another. Even in a position where all seems to be lost the right spell and a bit of luck can win the game.
The new incarnation of the game will also have a campaign mode where your wizard will be able to explore the realms of chaos, building his repertoire of spells as he progresses.
Julian's Kickstarter campaign launched recently and you can find it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1206403106/chaos-reborn-from-the-creator-of-the-original-x-co
If you're interested to know a lot more about the game Joystiq interviewed Julian recently in a live stream where he played the game with Alexander Sliwinski. You can see that article and a recording of the stream here: http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/04/joystiq-streams-xcom-creator-julian-gollop-introduces-us-to-cha/
There's also a good interview with Julian on Gamasutra here:
