== About ==
''Chaos Field'' (カオスフィールド) is a 2004 vertical-scrolling shoot-em-up arcade game developed by MileStone Inc. and published by Able Corporation. It was the first game developed by Milestone. The game was only released in Japan, but eventually got released in the west with it's Nintendo Gamecube port called ''Chaos Field Extended''. One day after the western release, a PlayStation 2 version, called ''Chaos Field New Order'', was released in Japan. 'Chaos Field' is also included in Milestone's shoot-em-up collections for Wii (''Ultimate Shooting Collection'' and ''Milestone Shooting Collection 2'').

The game consists entirely of boss battles, featuring five stages with three bosses each. The player can choose to play as one of three characters, each with their own ship that has a unique primary weapon. The player also can flip the environment at will between two parallel dimensions.

== Gameplay==
Chaos Field is a vertically-scrolling shoot-em-up game consisting of 5 stages (called "Phases" in-game). The gameplay is a boss-rush style, where in each Phases, the player will fight against 3 bosses consecutively. The player can choose between one of three playable characters; each character with their own ship that have their own unique primary weapons and features. The game uses a HP system ("Shield" in-game) and the game can be set to have the player to have a minimum amount of 2 and maximum amount of 5 Shields per credit. The player only have one life per credit, however, and letting the "Shield" meter drops to zero will let the player to enter their name if they got a high score in the ranking list, then they will be taken either to the Continue screen (if the player still got at least one credit left, otherwise will be a game over). Selecting to continue lets the player to choose another character to play as or not. However, their score will reset to zero.

=== Controls ===
----

* '''A (Hold):''' Shot
* '''B (Tap 1, 2, or 3 times):''' Sword
** Tapping several times in quick succession will unleash a sword combo
* '''C:''' Switch between Order and Chaos Field
* '''A + B (Simultaneous tap):''' Wing-Layer (deploys a protective barrier)
* '''B + C (Simultaneous tap):''' Lock-On (locks and fires homing beams onto the enemies)

Note :

* The game's ports allow players to map dedicated buttons for the Wing Layer and Lock-On. However, the simultaneous tap inputs have not been removed nor can they be toggled off. It is thus still possible to (accidentally) use either of these weapons by pressing their two buttons at once.

|-
| [[File:Chaos Field - Meta Stock item.png]]
| <b>Meta Stock item</b> : Item that is generated when destroying boss parts or taking a hit. In Original mode, it will also spawn when a popcorn enemy is killed. The Meta stock item will replenish part of the Meta gauge, which is used in order to fire the Wing Layer and the Lock-On Laser. Each individual block of the Meta gauge needs 10 Meta Stock items to be filled. In other words, a single Wing Layer or Lock-On Laser use requires 10 Meta Stock items.
|-
| [[File:Chaos Field - Point item.png]]
| <b>Point item</b> : Alternate item that spawns in place of the Meta Stock item if the player's Meta gauge is actually full when the items are spawned. These golden items are worth 5.000 points each and will not replenish the Meta gauge even if said gauge gets emptied in between the item spawn and the item collection.
|-
| [[File:Radirgy - Milestone logo.png|64px]]
| <b>Milestone logo</b> : Special logo that can be triggered on 1-2 and 3-1 and replenishes one life point when picked up. In order to make the logo appear, the boss has to be killed while in Order Field before the timer goes below 55 seconds (for 1-2) or 64 seconds (for 3-1). Switching to Chaos Field beforehand to inflict additional damage is fine and will not prevent the logo spawn as long as the killing blow occurs in Order Field.
[ VIDEO SHOWCASE : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew8iTmBNnrI & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbB951BT7GM ]

One thing to note on 3-1 is that the boss will be moving towards the left edge of the screen when the timer is close to the threshold. As a result, a last second kill will actually spawn the logo a bit too far away from the area the ship can move in, and the logo will be impossible to collect. When the logo gets despawned, the collection SFX will still play, but no life point will be restored.

You can call me Riz. I like shmups pretty much. Not used to be, but it is now, several months since.

Pages I created:
* [[Chaos Field]] (unfinished)
* [[Karous]] (not available yet)

Both those are actually my fav. shmups~ :3
Well... at least for Dreamcast... I only got a potato laptop for now and can't play shmups for high-end PCs T~T

Well, don't worry about me though, worry about yourself instead. Think of what you think is better to do so you can have a happy and better future.

We are unity in diversity. Give respect and love to each other, no matter the differences are.

If you wanna contact me for anything, including chatting, just go to shmups.wiki Discord server (link is on the lists at the left side of the page) and ask for someone called Riz. I constantly change my username. Don't ask why though...

And before you wondering... that pic above is not my real face XD

Each ship are also equipped with short-ranged swords in each side of the ship that can wipes out almost all bullets from the enemy, as well as damaging the enemy too. Aside of primary weapons that differs between the characters' ships, all ships share two special abilities; one is offense-centered and one is defense-centered. First special (called "Lock-On") lets the player's ship locks onto enemies and releases multiple homing beams that strikes the locked target within it's range, and the second special (called "Wing-Layer"), will make the player's ship deploys a barrier that can absorb the enemy's bullets (and damages the enemy should they touch it). These two specials can be used as long as the player have at least one full META gauge, which can be filled by collecting META fragments (diamond-like item with a red core), obtained either by destroying the bosses' body parts or taking damage from the enemies' attacks. Collecting 10 META fragments fills up 1 gauge, and up to 10 gauges can be stored by the player. If the player tries to obtain more fragments while having a full gauge, the fragment's core will be white-yellow colored and gives the player bonus points instead when collected.

The game utilizes a main feature where the player can switch between two parallel dimensions, the "Order Field" and "Chaos Field". The gameplay is normal in Order Field, but while in Chaos Field, there will be multiple differences:
* The player's primary weapon will deal more damage to the enemies
* Lock-On special ability can locks onto and erases enemies bullets
* Wing-Layer barriers will grew a bit larger, allowing it to absorb more bullets easily.
* The enemies/bosses will also fire much more bullets and their attack pattern will change into a more complex one.
* The amount of META fragments obtained by destroying enemies and bosses' body parts will be reduced into a smaller amount.

== About ==
''Chaos Field'' (カオスフィールド) is a 2004 vertical-scrolling shooter arcade game developed by MileStone Inc. and published by Able Corporation.

The game consists entirely of boss battles, featuring five stages with three bosses each. The player can choose to play as one of three characters, each with their own ship that has a unique primary weapon. The player also can flip the environment at will between two parallel worlds.

(Note from page creator: Some languages might be off due to my inferiority in english, it's not my first language, after all. Also, some medias shown in this page might be in a low res due to my lack of good hardware to get the high res one straight from the game.

KAR0US: Created page with "thumb ''Name:'' Riz ''Age:'' 18 and counting ''Nationality:'' Indonesian ''Birthday:'' 2nd of January ''Occupation:'' Do I really have..."

[[File:Screenshot 20200408-141819.png|thumb]]

''Name:'' Riz
''Age:'' 18 and counting
''Nationality:'' Indonesian
''Birthday:'' 2nd of January
''Occupation:'' Do I really have to answer that? >:(
''Favorite Food & Drinks:'' Meat (except porks), Cheese, Potato, Milk, and Juice

You can call me Riz. I like shmups pretty much. Not used to be, but it is now, several months since.

Pages I created:
* [[Chaos Field]]
* [[Karous]]

Both those are actually my fav. shmups~ :3
Well... at least for Dreamcast... I only got a potato laptop for now and can't play shmups for high-end PCs T~T

Well, don't worry about me though, worry about yourself instead. Think of what you think is better to do so you can have a happy and better future.

We are unity in diversity. Give respect and love to each other, no matter the differences are.

If you wanna contact me for anything, including chatting, just go to shmups.wiki Discord server (link is on the lists at the left side of the page) and ask for someone called Riz. I constantly change my username. Don't ask why though...

And before you wondering... that pic above is not my real face XD

== About ==
''Chaos Field'' (カオスフィールド) is a 2004 vertical-scrolling shooter arcade game developed by MileStone Inc. and published by Able Corporation. It was the first game by Milestone, and, like their other games, is a vertical shoot-'em-up. The game was only released in Japan, but eventually got released in the west with it's Nintendo Gamecube port called ''Chaos Field Extended''. One day after the western release, a PlayStation 2 version, called ''Chaos Field New Order'', was released in Japan. 'Chaos Field' is also included in Milestone's shoot-em-up collections for Wii (''Ultimate Shooting Collection'' and ''Milestone Shooting Collection 2'').

The game consists entirely of boss battles, featuring five stages with three bosses each. The player can choose to play as one of three characters, each with their own ship that has a unique primary weapon. The player also can flip the environment at will between two parallel worlds.

(Note from page creator: Some languages might be off due to my inferiority in english, it's not my first language, after all. Also, some medias shown in this page might be in a low res due to my lack of good hardware to get the high res one straight from the game. I might consider to get one from the internet instead, though... Anyway, this article is so incomplete and I'm still new to making this kind of thing, so please feel free to edit or fix this article if you wish. Thank you.)

== Gameplay==
Chaos Field is a vertically-scrolling shoot-em-up game consisting of 5 stages (called "Phases" in-game). The gameplay is a boss-rush style, where in each Phases, the player will fight against 3 bosses consecutively. The player can choose between one of three playable characters; each character with their own ship that have their own unique primary weapons and features. The game uses a HP system ("Shield" in-game) and the game can be set to have the player to have a maximum amount of 5 Shields per credit. The player only have one life per credit, however, and letting the "Shield" meter drops to zero will either take the player to the Continue screen (if the player still got at least one credit left) or the game ends. Selecting to continue lets the player to choose another character to play as or not, and their score will reset to zero.

Each ship are also equipped with short-ranged swords in each side of the ship that can wipes out almost all bullets from the enemy, as well as damaging the enemy too. Aside of primary weapons that differs between the characters' ships, all ships share two special abilities; one is offense-centered and one is defense-centered. First special (called "Lock-On") lets the player's ship locks onto enemies and releases multiple homing beams that strikes the locked target within it's range, and the second special (called "Wing-Layer"), will make the player's ship deploys a barrier that can absorb the enemy's bullets (and damages the enemy should they touch it). These two specials can be used as long as the player have at least one full META gauge, which can be filled by collecting META fragments (diamond-like item with a red core), obtained either by destroying the bosses' body parts or taking damage from the enemies' attacks. Collecting 10 META fragments fills up 1 gauge, and up to 10 gauges can be stored by the player. If the player tries to obtain more fragments while having a full gauge, the fragment's core will be white-yellow colored and gives the player bonus points instead when collected.

The game utilizes a main feature where the player can switch between two parallel dimensions, the "Order Field" and "Chaos Field". The gameplay is normal in Order Field, but while in Chaos Field, there will be multiple differences:
* The player's primary weapon will deal more damage to the enemies
* Lock-On special ability can locks onto and erases enemies bullets
* Wing-Layer barriers will grew a bit larger, allowing it to absorb more bullets easily.
* The enemies/bosses will also fire much more bullets and their attack pattern will change into a more complex one.
* The amount of META fragments obtained by destroying enemies and bosses' body parts will be reduced into a smaller amount.

=== Controls ===
----
(Controls shown below are the default controls for the Dreamcast version.)
* '''A:''' Primary Weapon Fire
* '''B:''' Sword/Saber Slash (can be used up to 3 times before small cooldown)
* '''L and R:''' Change between Order and Chaos field
* '''A + B:''' Wing-Layer (deploys a protective barrier)
* '''B + C:''' Lock-On (locks and fires homing beams onto the enemies)

=== Unlockable Secrets ===
----
If a game features unlockable modes, extras, secrets character etc. such as the Mahou characters in ''[[Battle Garegga|Battle Garegga]]'' or Strong Style in ''[[DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu|DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu]]'' that are relevant to the basic system of a game, put these codes here. ''Otherwise, omit this section.''

=== Characters / Ships / Styles ===
----
This section should include the characters or ships, if any, that the player can select in the game. Ideally, different "styles" (for games that use them, such as ''[[DoDonPachi]]'') would also be included here.

If there is only one playable character and no elements to augment/customize your ship, ''this section can be omitted from the page''.

=== Weapons ===
----
This section describes the weapons that you use in the game and elaborates on them further. Stuff like standard shots, focus shots, bombs, weapon pickups that differ in functionality, options, etc. ''This can be omitted if not relevant to the game in question.''

Anyway, this article is so incomplete and I'm still new to making this kind of thing, so please feel free to edit or fix this article if you wish. Thank you.)

== Gameplay==
Chaos Field is a vertically-scrolling shoot-em-up game consisting of 5 stages (called "Phases" in-game). The gameplay is a boss-rush style, where in each Phases, the player will fight against 3 bosses consecutively. The player can choose between one of three playable characters; each character with their own ship that have their own unique primary weapons and features. The game uses a HP system ("Shield" in-game) and the game can be set to have the player to have a maximum amount of 5 Shields per credit. The player only have one life per credit, however, and letting the "Shield" meter drops to zero will either take the player to the Continue screen (if the player still got at least one credit left) or the game ends. Selecting to continue lets the player to choose another character to play as or not, and their score will reset to zero.

Each ship are also equipped with short-ranged swords in each side of the ship that can wipes out almost all bullets from the enemy, as well as damaging the enemy too. Aside of primary weapons that differs between the characters' ships, all ships share two special abilities; one is offense-centered and one is defense-centered. First special (called "Lock-On") lets the player's ship locks onto enemies and releases multiple homing beams that strikes the locked target within it's range, and the second special (called "Wing-Layer"), will make the player's ship deploys a barrier that can absorb the enemy's bullets (and damages the enemy should they touch it). These two specials can be used as long as the player have at least one full META gauge, which can be filled by collecting META fragments (diamond-like item with a red core), obtained either by destroying the bosses' body parts or taking damage from the enemies' attacks. Collecting 10 META fragments fills up 1 gauge, and up to 10 gauges can be stored by the player. If the player tries to obtain more fragments while having a full gauge, the fragment's core will be white-yellow colored and gives the player bonus points instead when collected.

The game utilizes a main feature where the player can switch between two parallel dimensions, the "Order Field" and "Chaos Field". The gameplay is normal in Order Field, but while in Chaos Field, there will be multiple differences:
* The player's primary weapon will deal more damage to the enemies
* Lock-On special ability can locks onto and erases enemies bullets
* Wing-Layer barriers will grew a bit larger, allowing it to absorb more bullets easily.
* The enemies/bosses will also fire much more bullets and their attack pattern will change into a more complex one.
* The amount of META fragments obtained by destroying enemies and bosses' body parts will be reduced into a smaller amount.

== About ==
''Chaos Field'' (カオスフィールド) is a 2004 vertical-scrolling shooter arcade game developed by MileStone Inc. and published by Able Corporation. It was the first game by Milestone, and, like their other games, is a vertical shoot-'em-up. The game was only released in Japan, but eventually got released in the west with it's Nintendo Gamecube port called ''Chaos Field Extended''. One day after the western release, a PlayStation 2 version, called ''Chaos Field New Order'', was released in Japan. 'Chaos Field' is also included in Milestone's shoot-em-up collections for Wii (''Ultimate Shooting Collection'' and ''Milestone Shooting Collection 2'').

The game consists entirely of boss battles, featuring five stages with three bosses each. The player can choose to play as one of three characters, each with their own ship that has a unique primary weapon. The player also can flip the environment at will between two parallel worlds.
