Realms of Chaos is an exciting side-scrolling platform game with an innovative mix of action, adventure, mysticism, and role-playing that's never been seen in this style of game. Set in the fantastic world of Mysteria, Realms of Chaos is the first of many adventures of Endrick and Elandra, a brother and sister duo who find themselves on a journey to save the many realms of Mysteria, from a dark, evil shadow that has engulfed their world, and has turned all of the inhabitants into fierce enemies.

I really liked some of the environments in this solid platformer. The forest levels are really nice! Shame this game has you slaughter hundreds of lion people. Not nice!

This game is so infuriating. I just can't force myself to memorize bat placements for such an average experience. Considering the PC platformer landscape of the time, the large detailed sprites and widescreen were probably a draw but visually its actually much blander than the competition. With hindsight the visual flourishes really seem to be a silk screen or diversion from the simple and plainly colored environments. Jill of The Jungle comes to mind as a title with plenty of traditional jungle environments like Realms but shows how much color and artistic vision can bring a graphically basic game to life. The various powerups and dual character element could help liven the gameplay up later on but for me it just expects too much trail and error for how little interesting it shows (or has to show).

I didn't give this one a lot of time but with how simple it is and how much better other similar games are, I don't know if I really need to in order to understand what Chaos was to offer. I recommend grabbing a list of cheats before playing this one if you end up doing so, which I have a feeling could help squeeze a bit more blood from the stone if your keen on giving Realms of Chaos a look.
