Chaos Front

A turn-based space mecha mercenary game. You can recruit pilots and captains with varying stories and skills, buy and modify spaceships, mecha, artillery, and fighters, take missions, participate in battles between Galactic Powers, change the situations, and experience different stories.

Hello everyone! It's time for the monthly DevLog again. In Chaos Front, there are two types of characters: 'Captain' and 'Pilot'. They have different abilities and attributes, and can respectively drive ships and arms. To help you understand their differences better, let's take a look at two examples.

When she controls a ship, her 'Shoot' attribute increases the hit rate of the ship's shooting weapons. 'Maneuver', on the other hand, helps the ship avoid enemy fire and increases the damage of the ram weapon if equipped. 'Command' can increase the damage of friendly arms or reduce the damage they take within her command range. Higher SP means Helen can use more and stronger skills during the battle. Every time she levels up, these attributes will increase. The blue entries below 'Merchant Lv1' and 'Commander Lv1' represent Helen's talents when she reaches Captain Level 2. They respectively allow her to obtain more mission rewards and increase her command range. With every level, Helen will either gain a new talent or add one level to an existing talent. The maximum talent level is 5. 'Reinforce' is Helen's Skill which can be used on the battlefield by consuming SP to recover the HP of friendly units. Each role has three skills, and the remaining two are unlocked as the role levels up.

Pyrrhus also has four attributes: Shoot, Melee, Reaction, and SP. The 'Shoot' and 'SP' attributes are the same as Helen's. The 'Melee' attribute increases the damage of Melee weapons, while 'Reaction' increases the dodge rate and parry rate of his unit. His talents, 'Shielder Lv1', increase the shield's durability, and 'Fencer Lv1' makes it easier to trigger a Preemptive strike when using Melee weapons. After using the skill "Effort", he can increase the EXP gained in battle. By the way, some players have asked how many characters there are in Chaos Front. We can confirm that there are over 120 characters in total, but the characters that each Corps can collect are only a portion of them. That's all for today. I will be back next month.
