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.

Unlockable Secrets

---

If a game features unlockable modes, extras, secrets character etc. such as the Mahou characters in Battle Garegga or Strong Style in 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.

Items

---

This section describes any and all collectibles that you acquire in the game. An example being any Power Up items or Medals from Battle Garegga. Include secret items such as extra lives as well.

Rank

---

If the game features a relevant rank system, use this section to discuss it in more detail. Otherwise, this can be omitted.

Loops

---

If a game features a loop system, elaborate on it in detail here. Otherwise, omit this section.

Scoring

---

This section should cover a general breakdown of the scoring system of the game. Feel free to put the meat and potatoes here. A great example of a scoring section is the DoDonPachi page.

Strategy

See (Template Page)/Strategy for stage maps, enemy and boss descriptions, walkthroughs, and advanced play strategies.

---

This section details some particular strategic information about the game and its gameplay, such as hidden 1UPs and some basic scoring tricks. For anything particularly deep or highly complex, you can probably leave it in the Strategy page.

(Currently evaluating whether or not this specific section should even include information outside of the separated Strategy pages. Worth thinking about as a community.)

Story

Basic story breakdowns, plot information, and endings are included here.

If there is no story at all, or any information about the setting, then this section can be omitted. Try to include at least small things here when you can.

We have support for wikitables, giving us the potential to add lots of cool info in a small box on the page somewhere, but we are not using them at the moment. I'm just leaving this here so we can have it handy in case we decide to actually use them. Feel free to not use this section.
