Fast forward 11 years to 2014, a time where new properties are unimaginably scarce, and successful ones are released with even less regularity outside of the indie scene.
Today, in a market where original titles are much rarer than they once were, a game like Chaos Legion feels very quaint, especially in that it was drowned out mainly by the release of other original properties. With flashy sequels like Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 2 about, and wildly inventive new titles like Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and Killer 7 (all developed by Capcom) debuting during the same time period, it isn’t terribly difficult to see how a game like Chaos Legion might fall by the way side–but it’s too bad that it did. When Chaos Legion first appeared on the scene during Capcom’s glory days, it was an easy game to ignore.
