Circle makes Sieg fire an electric attack that allows him to lock onto a single enemy (very useful for some bosses), while holding R1 locks Sieg in the direction he's facing so that strafing is possible it also doubles as a camera reset & locks the camera onto any locked-on foe. Square is your general attack button, which can be chained up to six times, while X makes Sieg jump. ![]() You play as Sieg, who controls relatively simply, considering that the game uses all face & shoulder buttons. For he was the one who killed Siela three years ago.Ĭhaos Legion is a hack & slash game that, unlike most reviews assumed when it first came out, is probably most similar to Tecmo Koei's Dynasty Warriors series if you want to keep it Capcom, though, consider it a spiritual predecessor to Sengoku Basara. Eventually teaming up with Arcia Rinslet, a Maiden of the Silver (gun-wielding female warriors) who was sent to cleanse towns that had become sieged by Delacroix's demon armies, Sieg has to try to keep his old friend from acquiring the Three Sacred Glyphs that can give him ultimate power, while also repent for what he considers the ultimate sin.

Clovis, one of the leaders of the Order, & stolen the Apocrypha of Yzarc, which holds the key to world destruction. Sieg has been tasked with hunting down Victor Delacroix, a former Knight who has gone rogue, killed St. Overia as a Legionator, one who can summon beings known as Legion to assist him in battle. Sieg Wahrheit is a a young Knight of the Dark Glyphs who works for The Order of St. Anyway, how was the game itself & does it still hold up well enough after 13 years? and it technically is, as Capcom is credited in the copyright of the light novels, even well beyond the game's original release maybe the game suffered some delays, so the light novel simply came out first. When it saw international release in the second half of 2003 most people thought that the game was an original property. Specifically adapting the first novel, Chaos Legion: Seisen Magun-hen/ The Holy War Demon Army Chapter, the game actually saw release in Japan around the time the second novel, Chaos Legion 0: Shoma Rokujin-hen/ The Six Camps of the Summoned Demons Chapter, was originally released pretty impressive, I'd say. It would run until the very end of 2004, totaling 7 novels the original novel was numberless (likely in case it wound up being the only book), while the others were numbered 0-05.It never received any sort of anime or manga adaptation, this was before Ubukata starting becoming a big deal (though his Mardock Scramble novels debuted in 2003, so you never know.), but it did receive a video game adaptation by Capcom (Production Studio 6, to be exact) in early 2003 for the PlayStation 2, with a PC port at the end of the year. For a perfect example, there's Chaos Legion.Ĭhaos Legion debuted in Fujimi Shobo's Dragon Magazine (home of Slayers, Orphen, & Chaika - The Coffin Princess) back in September 2002 & was written by Tow Ubukata ( Fafner, Heroic Age, Le Chevalier D'Eon), with illustrations by Satoru Yuiga ( E's, 10 Tokyo Warriors). Going from light novel to video game directly is fairly rare, and when it's imported outside of Japan it can mean that almost everyone who plays it will think that it's an original property. Adapting light novels into video games has also been a thing, too, but isn't normally done until the novel has first become an anime. & becoming even more successful it's just that adapting light novels has become more traditional since the dawn of the new millennium. ![]() ![]() Series like Dirty Pair, Boogiepop Phantom, Kino's Journey, The Slayers, Orphen, The Twelve Kingdoms, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, & Full Metal Panic! were all initially light novels before being turned into TV anime, movies, OVAs, manga, etc. That being said, it's not exactly a new thing by any means, as light novels were being adapted as far back as the 80s. Making anime & manga adaptations of light novels is nothing special nowadays, & it's been like that for about the past decade, at most. ![]()
