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.
