Chaos Overlords is a turn-based strategy computer game developed by Stick Man Games and published by New World Computing for Microsoft Windows and classic Mac OS in 1996. The game is set in a dystopian cyberpunk city where criminal masterminds called Chaos Overlords battle for control. Gameplay involves hiring mercenary gangs and deploying them on an 8-by-8 grid of city sectors to generate income, occupy sectors and take over the city.
As of September, 2006, Chaos Overlords' developer John K. Morris was working on a sequel.[1]
Chaos Overlords attracted mixed reviews from the gaming press.[2] GameSpot praised its addictive qualities,[3] while All Game Guide noted its ability to generate strategic depth from a simple game concept.[4] In a retrospective for IGN, gaming journalist Tom Chick praised the clarity of the game's design, claiming its "elegant and exciting" gameplay was hampered mainly by a mouse-intensive interface.[5]
