About Chaos Front
Chaos Front continues the Chaos Galaxy series as a single‑developer indie title that blends tactical and strategic influences. Players command a mercenary corps on the Centersea Sector map, selecting missions that affect the war between three great powers and the Interstellar Consortium.
The game features over 100 named characters and 70 distinct unit types, each with its own weapons and behaviors. A true ending is only reachable if the mercenary group reaches star 9 before the in‑game date 30/12/C.E.29; otherwise a bad ending triggers automatically.
01 / THE GUIDE
Mercenary Group Development
The mercenary group must be upgraded to star 9 before 30/12/C.E.29 to unlock the final battle and obtain the true endings. This requirement is explicitly tied to the calendar date mentioned in the description.
Progress can be saved at any time, and the game does not require timed input, allowing players to advance at their own pace while monitoring the approaching deadline.
- Upgrade early to give yourself flexibility before the deadline.
- Use the save‑anytime feature to experiment with different upgrade paths.

Units and Combat Behaviors
Seventy units are available, ranging from battleships and submarines to mecha, artillery, fighters and titans. Each unit carries its own weapons and abilities, providing a broad tactical palette.
Units can perform actions such as stealth, space mines, fog spreading, ramming, shelling, shields and defensive force fields. Researching the system lets players assemble armies that match a chosen combat approach.
- Combine stealth and shield units for balanced offense and defense.
- Try fog‑spreading behavior to limit enemy visibility in key battles.
03 / THE GUIDE
Faction Alliances and Proposals
Alliances with the three great powers are formed through missions and battles. When allied, the player may submit proposals that influence the faction’s strategic actions.
These proposals allow mercenary groups to steer broader war outcomes beyond individual engagements, adding a diplomatic layer to the tactical gameplay.
- Align proposals with your mercenary’s strengths for clearer impact.
- Observe faction responses to adjust future proposals accordingly.

Narrative Setting and Ending Trigger
The backdrop is a galaxy split among three powers after the fall of the Solaris Union, overseen by the Interstellar Consortium. A revolution on Massilia sparks the Centersea War, drawing mercenaries into the conflict.
A bad ending is automatically triggered on 30/12/C.E.29 unless the mercenary group reaches star 9 before that date, making the calendar a core gameplay element.
- Monitor the in‑game calendar to avoid the automatic bad ending.
- Prioritise missions that contribute to mercenary upgrades before the deadline.
