Interview with indie developer Julian Gollop, the creator of classic strategy series XCOM and the upcoming Kickstarter title Chaos Reborn. Gollop talks about why he'll never make another XCOM game, as well as his time working for Ubisoft on the Assassin's Creed series, dropping big hints about where the series is going next, and the possibility of more platforms for the corwdfunded Chaos Reborn - anything that supports Unity, he suggests.
It seems amazing that a few blocky pixels and the odd beep could produce so many emotional highs and lows. Chaos, a multiplayer tactical game of duelling wizards, with its wild swings of luck often led to equally wild swings of mood.
Chaos Reborn is a turn-based strategy game that comes from Snapshot Games and X-Com designer Julian Gollop. It’s based on Gollop’s 1985 Games Workshop Chaos, and follows many of the original’s tenets.
Proud Kickstarter backer. This is a fair score, but I would nudge it a bit higher myself. 85 overall, and almost definitely a "must buy" for fans of the genre.
Tom Chick - "If there’s such a thing as 'too small to fail', it applies to this wonderful gem."
