Play Chaos Engine, The (Europe) Online
Pick a steampunk mercenary, then blast through mutant hordes while scrambling for ammo and dodging mechanical traps—co-op turns it into a beautiful mess.
Oh man, The Chaos Engine is one of those SNES gems that still holds up. You pick from six mercenaries—each with their own weird quirks, like the Preacher with his dynamite or the Navvie with a brutal melee axe—and blast through steampunk nightmare levels full of mutants and mechanical horrors. The top-down shooting feels tight, and co-op is an absolute riot if you’ve got a buddy.
What really stuck with me was how weirdly strategic it gets. You’re constantly juggling ammo types, keys for locked doors, and these weird power-ups that change how your gun behaves. First time I played, I got wrecked because I didn’t realize the Thug’s spread shot was terrible against flying enemies. Learned that the hard way.
It’s got that perfect mix of chaos (ha) and precision—like if someone mashed up Gauntlet with a Victorian horror novel. The pixel art’s grimy in the best way, too. Just don’t expect the story to make much sense beyond "shoot the evil machine."
