Chaos Overlords is a Godot 4 recreation of the 1996 turn-based strategy game where players compete as crime lords vying for control of a dystopian city. Hire gangs with unique abilities, deploy them across city sectors, engage in tactical combat, and expand your criminal empire.
This project faithfully recreates the original game mechanics verified from decompiled source, with updated visuals at 1920x1080 resolution. All game logic — dice pools, combat formulas, AI thresholds, sector control — has been verified against the original executable.
All game mechanics extracted and verified from the original 1996 executable via Ghidra decompilation. Combat, hiring, sector control — all authentic.
Rebuilt for 1920x1080 with modern UI. All interface elements coded from scratch — no HUD images, fully dynamic layout.
Built on Godot 4 with GDScript. Open source, cross-platform, no dependencies. Clone and play.
Computer opponents with verified AI logic — hiring priorities, gang deployment strategies, and combat decisions matching the original game.
Recruit from diverse gang types — hackers, thugs, assassins, militia. Each with unique stats, abilities, and combat modifiers.
