The objective of the game is to capture the enemy's capital city.Each player has to pick one of 4 teams, 3 of which have 5 soldiers (with differing selections of weapons), while one has 2 'commandos' and uses a different control system giving greater control.The player views the action from an perspective, watching cartoon soldiers duke it out on the battlefield. The game features a balance between action and strategy. For instance, whenever two soldiers on opposite sides get close enough, close combat will ensue. The soldiers can punch, kick, or block the attack.
If one of the player's men loses all his health points, he will fall down on the ground. To help the fallen soldier, the player must move the cursor, or another soldier in the case of the commandos, close to the injured soldier and call out for a to revive him. However, there is a limit on the number of times that a medic may be called. There are also many items that yield points on the battlefield to pick up.With a multiplayer adapter up to four people can play simultaneously against the computer in campaign mode. The player can also fight other human players without co-operation. Another feature of the game is the tutorial mode called “boot camp”.Classes Gunner: Uses a as weapon.
The well-rounded unit of the game with a medium-range attack and high rate of fire though his gun might jam. It is used primarily for attacking. This characters wears a hairstyle.Launcher: Uses a handheld as a weapon. While the game lacks a 'sniper' character, the launcher serves essentially the same purpose with a powerful, slow-firing, long-range weapon. The launcher's attack can be stopped by cover but may randomly result in an 'instant death' of an opposing combatant (reduced to a skeleton and therefore can't call a medic). Can destroy bonus objective targets. This characters wears a helmet.Chucker: are the weapon of this class.
Their attack has a low rate of fire and is easily avoidable but the grenade goes over cover, can damage multiple units, and has good range. Can destroy bonus objective targets. The name and the appearance of this unit (a bearded, blonde man with a -style headband) is a clear reference to.Scorcher: Possibly the most dangerous unit in the game, these soldiers use a to do damage which, despite having the shortest range, can hit multiple soldiers and is the fastest weapon. Once a Scorcher is on top of another unit, it is very difficult to survive. Because of this capability, they make excellent flanking and escort units. Attack may randomly result in an 'instant death' of an opposing combatant (reduced to a pile of ash and therefore can't call a medic).
If the Scorcher goes into water, his weapon will be temporarily disabled (indicated by bubbles being shot out instead of fire). He wears a pair of dark glasses.Blaster: Considered the weakest unit in the game and needs to be protected. The Blaster is similar to the Chucker.
Instead of using grenades, they throw a bunch of sticks which goes over cover and inflicts heavy damage. However, they have an extremely slow rate of fire and the second shortest attack range, so they are not as useful. Attack may randomly result in an 'instant death' of an opposing combatant (reduced to a skeleton and therefore can't call a medic). Can destroy bonus objective targets. This character wears an, beard and his smile lacks some teeth.Kickstarter campaign On September 6, 2013 Brian F. Colin started a Kickstarter campaign in order to fund a sequel.

Marching to Moronica
The story line is simple. Two cartoon countries are locked in a bitter war. You play General Chaos, the Moronican commander, as you fight General Havoc, the military strongman of Viceria. Your goal is to capture Viceria's capital city. You can fight three campaigns, each consisting of 17 battlefields. Sometimes battlefield skirmishes require you to destroy a certain Special Objective, such as an enemy aircraft or a water supply.
ProTip: If you must destroy a Special Objective during a battle, move bazooka men, dynamite bombers, and grenade chuckers close to the objective.
You're in the Army Now
Chaos's entertaining soldierin' is.. well, chaotic, and it forces you to think fast. Battlefields are laid out in a 3/4-overhead perspective on a single screen. You use a handy cursor to quickly position your troops across the terrain as you fight a running gun battle against Havoc's dogfaces. You can make all your troops fire their weapons at once, but the CPU selects the targets. Don't worry, the solid controls manage the wild on-screen activity like a Marine drill sergeant.
- Spread out. Groups of soldiers make easy targets.
- Try to catch enemy troops in a cross fire.
Unless you use a two-man Commando team, every skirmish is basically a five-on-five firefight with Havoc's forces. Five-man Squads consist of five types of soldiers (machine gunners, bazooka men, grenade throwers, dynamite bombers, and guys with flamethrowers) in various combinations. Medics are also on hand to repair battle damage. The game's artificial intelligence keeps your organic intelligence busy by remixing its combos every time you fight a skirmish.
- Use your Medics wisely. If you outnumber the enemy, you can afford to take a few casualties and still win.
- If you use Commandos against the computer, you must learn to hit and RUN! Use them as a last resort.
If any of your soldiers get too close to an enemy, the rest of the combatants pause while the two slug it out mano-a-mano. Your hand-to- hand technique has good variety with high, medium, and low punches, plus a kick and a block. The controls in this mode, however, are sluggish but adequate.
Look Sharp, Soldier!
The graphics are cute and cartoony. Considering all the carnage taking place on the screen, Chaos still doesn't dish out the blood and guts. The battlefield animation has a manic yet comical style.
Chaos doesn't overwhelm you with sounds. However, the effects of the weapons are sure to capture your ears.
It Takes Four to Tangle
Chaos's big claim-to-fame is its three-and four-player modes, which support EA's new 4-Way Play adapter. The rambunctious Rambo action during multi-player clashes is a surefire way to start a laugh riot.
Surrender to Chaos
General Chaos is an unusual, entertaining war game. War is hell, war is weird, war is fun. If you let General Chaos invade your Genesis, you just might die laughing.
