Total Chaos Against Apathy

the spirit of tomonobu itagaki lives on. not in ninja gaiden 4, but in 8 dollar games made by weird girls on the internet.

This game rules! I just grabbed it and ended up playing it for hours right away, so I'll probably return back for additional thoughts, but I wanted to capture my initial excitement with this review. Overall, I think the game has a real sense of design that is a bit hard to completely grasp just looking at footage, but once you play it the system will feel unique and familiar at the same time. Its not a DMC style combo mad game, instead its much more beam em' up influenced it feels like (which I love, but is also tricky to pull off in 3D). To me it feels like Spikeout, Godhand, Ninja Gaiden, Gungrave, Tony Hawk (the movement), and Guilty Gear were all influences and it works so well. The combat system is something I'd never have been able to come up with if asked what a great 3D beat em up system would look like, but at the same time it seems obvious that this a great way to make such a system and this is a game that should have always existed, which is always the best feeling design wise I think ha, original and natural at the same time. Of course there is still plenty of room for polish and refinement and I think the game balance (just from a quick impression) relies too much on burst and chaining iframes, rather than emphasizing the really fun tank controls and manual spacing, but the game is a massive standout for me among stuff I've played lately. :-)

I made some of the music in this game! Check it out!

give discade project 10000000 dollars and gift this game to all of your friends. tank controls are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome buddy.

i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suck balls at this game as a casual, but this is a project with genuine love and passion within it's core and i think the dev team achieved their goal of making an argument for UNIQUE combat-as-the-center-of-the-design arcade action games. my only gripes are with some maps being an ass to navigate, even if it's kinda an intended design. but the graphics look fun, the presentation is stylish, music is AWESOME, and the two-button combat is unique, deep and thought out. big fan of how much blood and boob jiggle Total Chaos Against Apathy has

Game for enlightened visionaries who don't ask why Final Fight doesn't have a dash, but rather if it really needs a jump. This game gets that minimalism is a virtue, hitstun should be long and juicy, and tank controls are awesome. Great game if you're looking to get dropped right into a relentless swarm and start controlling those crowds asap. Gift to action game sickos everywhere.

every time i bank a high combo it feels better than sex. every time i fail a high combo i feel more disappointed in myself than my parents are.

I was sold as soon as I read this game had tank controls. This is chaotic as hell and damn near everything an action game should be. Games with throws are really just better huh?

It would seem that every single goal the developers had for this game was successfully met. This game rocks. Let there be more tank controls combat action titles, please!!

Love to see an action game nowadays be so focused on crowd control and Houston
