Chaos Rings

Chaos Rings is an RPG detailing the fates of five couples who are summoned against their wills to the mysterious "Ark Arena" where they must battle each other in a tournament with the ultimate prize being immortality. The player gets to choose between two of these couples at first (Escher/Musiea, Eluca/Zhamo) with two more becoming available later on. Each pairing is forced to crawl through dungeons where they battle enemies, earn currency, and face a boss at the end. The goal of the dungeons is for each couple to earn their rings (the Warrior's Ring and the Companion's Ring) and ultimately, prepare to face the other couples in tournament battle. Once all the other couples have been eliminated, the player will battle the Agent who oversaw the tournament, and reach an end credits sequence. If the player saves the game after the credits and reloads the game, the story continues, further exploring the origin of the Ark and its inhabitants. Combat is turn-based; players have the option of having their characters attack solo or as a pair, using standard attacks, "Gene" special attacks, or using an item. As is standard for RPGs, characters can equip weapons and armor, as well as the animal genes that grant elemental abilities. Though the dungeons are separate from the arena, the player may visit them as many times as they wish, even choosing the average level of the enemies inhabiting the dungeon.
