I love this game so far, admittedly I haven't finished it (I don't know why it says "completed" on my review ignore that), but I've gotten as far as the last stage and I probably will soon, so I think I've played enough to say it's honestly way better than a lot of people give it credit for. The legion summoning system adds a lot of extra depth and a real sense of strategy to the game's combat, and while the legions could definitely be more well-balanced (I don't know what I expected from a legion called Flawed but I wish it was stronger), it's still a great time overall, even if it has some moments of kind of infuriating level design. Admittedly, the story is quite shit, but it's one of those games where the story is really just there as an excuse to contextualize what you're doing in the game, so it's not bad enough to detract from the experience at all in my opinion.
Also, everyone who calls this a "Devil May Cry ripoff" is insane, it came out a whole 2 years before the first actually good game in that series (DMC 3 my beloved) so I get kind of annoyed seeing people pretend it's just a worse version of something that came before; even putting the fact I vastly prefer it to DMC 1 and 2 aside, the gameplay here is different enough that the only real similarity is that they're hack and slash games on the PS2. Chaos Legion is much more about effectively utilizing the various legions you can summon and fighting alongside them to strategically defeat your enemies, and choosing the right legion for the right situation, as opposed to Devil May Cry being more about moving quickly to avoid your enemies' attacks and seeing what stylish combos you can come up with to defeat them.
Overall I honestly kind of love this game, and while it can be kind of janky and strange, it's still definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of this genre, or even if you just want to play a game where you fight as a summoner who needs to figure out when to use the various summons he has access to, and which ones to use specifically depending on the situation.
