Play The Chaos Engine on Snes Online

The Chaos Engine on SNES is one of those games that makes you wonder why more people don’t talk about it. You pick from six mercenaries—each with their own weird quirks, like the Preacher who heals or the Navvy who just smashes everything—and dive into this grimy, gear-filled world where everything wants to kill you. It’s got that perfect mix of run-and-gun chaos and actual strategy, like when you’re low on ammo and have to decide whether to risk splitting up to find more or stick together and pray.

The atmosphere is what really sticks with you. It’s all creaky floorboards, rusty machinery, and these grotesque half-machine monsters that look like they crawled out of a bad Victorian nightmare. And the bosses? Huge, screen-dominating things that make you yell at your friend to stop hogging the health pickups. The SNES version tightens up the controls from the original, so it feels less clunky but still has that satisfying weight to every shot.

If you’ve ever played Smash TV and thought, "This needs more weird steampunk lore and actual teamwork," you’ll love it. Just don’t blame me when you spend an hour arguing over who gets to play the Thug.
