I owe this find to those who posted about it on our forums.  Land of Chaos Online or “LOCO” is a third person 3D (like you would see in a MMO) game that plays like DotA/LoL/HoN.  When I first saw the name I immediately dismissed it because it sounds stupid.  Then I went to the website and seriously contemplated giving my computer a virus scan and spyware checkup because… well… you can see for yourself.   Why then would I post about it?

There’s a gameplay video that actually makes me want to play.

With a nice coat of polish and attention to the usual important stuff this could be a fun game.  It reminds me a lot of the Savage games.  They too were a 3D “you’re in the action” approach to a different style of game (Real time strategy) and blended the two together.  DotA created this new offensive tug-of-war genre which has now spawned several copycats but most all of them have been nice attempts at creating good games.

If not alaplaya (I know, again with the names) then maybe another dev team should take a crack at something like this.  I wouldn’t be surprised though if the folks at S2 Games were already on their way given how well Heroes of Newerth and Savage turned out.

Know anything about the game that you want to share?

Filing this one under cool ideas for games that show some promise.
