This game contains a cyber ninja, goth lolita androids, a Lovecraft-themed magical girl, and a giant Italian chef who fights with restaurant tools. That's enough for me.

If you can get it for under 10 bucks why not? The netplay is okay but you'll get random inputs all match every match. For example, you can be pressing absolutely nothing and do a special move because you input it 10 seconds earlier.

The game was released in 2011 so most everyone that still plays will be unbeatable. Long combos mean you may as well drop your controller for 20 seconds while your opponent dials up a lengthy combo.

That said it has a robust story mode, cast, nice music and voice acting.

No netcode, no players, and pretty wack balance. What more could you ask for?

I am a 51 year old father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game.
I am a single father to my son, who is now 14.
My son recently downloaded CHAOS CODE -NEW SIGN OF CATASTROPHE- and in less than a week,
he had already played for over 26 hours. This was terrible for me,
as it was already hard enough for me to spend time with my son,
as he is always out with his friends or just watching videos on Tiktok.
So I decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him.
I loaded into the game, but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do.
I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join.
I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my wife had died.
This game has ever since brought my son and I closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house as well.
This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything,
and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.

underrated dead game.

This is the greatest game of all time. Before I played this game, My life was GARBAGE. I wasn't eating right, I was drowning in pools, I had ZERO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. After I played this game, My life made a turn for the better. I started eating right, Making top 8s consistently, started getting MAD ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Turn your life around like I did, and PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!

I was able to easily remap my buttons. No problem at all. And they even changed for the menu. Amazing, how far the fighting game technology has come!

Chaos Code is one hell of an underground game. The visuals feel very unattractive, the story and dialogues are exceptionally stupid, even among anime fighters. Voice acting is so damn cringeworthy that it becomes funny in the end. To top it all, there are typos all over the place - what the hell were the developers even doing? All in all, the first impression may be kinda unappealing. But what lies beneath the surface is a very enjoyable little fighting game.

There is a generous roster of characters with different playstyles and customizable moveset. Even though the visuals are ugly, the combat feels really smooth and responsive. The moves look cool and combos are satisfying. I fell in love with the stages, which are very often lively, colorful and funny. The background music is top-notch (really, Cthylla's stage BGM is just lovely) and the ending CGs are beautiful. There is also a lot of single-player content to enjoy, in case you don't have friends to play with or don't know about Discord.

While Chaos Code certainly isn't an A-tier fighting game (like GG, BB, Uniel and so on), I still think it would be a mistake to just dismiss it. I'm having a blast with the game at this moment and I think I will be coming for more in the near future.

Pretty great game that I'd recommend everyone get if you're into fighting games. It has a unique group of playable oddballs that all play pretty different from each other ranging from buff macho chef to a crossdressing cosplaying mangaka, to magical girl Cthulhu and so on. Solid netcode and thus far after playing a good 10 people from various locations around the world I haven't gotten any lag. Game feels really smooth, has some nice animations, and has a fantastic soundtrack that I've been listening to for years now. The offline modes are standard fair as there is arcade, practice, vs, survival, score attack, and mission mode. Having a color edit mode is nice too

Plus having art done by Ban is always good ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
