As part of a Kickstarter

Chaos Reborn, the upcoming turn-based action title built by the man behind the original X-COM, is now available for free in the form of an online prototype.

Julian Gollop, who directed the acclaimed 1994 game X-COM: UFO Defense (known as UFO: Enemy Unknown in Europe), has released the Chaos Reborn playable code as his Kickstarter campaign enters its nail-biting final hours.

Julian Gollop will forever be a legend in my eyes because he made Rebelstar and Laser Squad.

Amazing games on the 8 bit Spectrum and Amstrad CPC, absolutely amazing.

I played them all on my Spectrum.
Chaos was my favourite when used to get loads of crammed around one tv and a rubber keyboard playing multiplayer

Earlier today Julian played the lead designer of the the new X-Com, Jake Solomon, at Chaos Reborn on Twitch.


Jake won, calling the game a master class in design
