Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the C64 hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding

What playing Lords of Chaos is like

Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.

Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
