    It may come at a premium price, but if you’re looking for a premium RPG experience, this is it. Don’t worry if you haven’t played the past games in the series. Chaos Rings III is new-player friendly, and I’m living proof.

    With its stunning visuals, huge amount of content and challenging, turn-based combat, Chaos Rings III is definitely one of the best mobile games around at this moment.

    In short, Chaos Rings 3 is a big, meaty evolution of the series that makes a lot of changes. Some of those feel like natural progressions from the older games, while others are obviously coming in from other sources, but the game on the whole is richer for having all of them.

    A fine mobile port but the Vita is still the preferred platform for JRPGs. [Aug 2015, p.083]

    Chaos Rings III is an odd hybrid of mobile game mechanics that gets in its own way.

    This game is good, but it has SO much amount of terrible and convoluted rip-offish design choices, that are just preventing it for beingThis game is good, but it has SO much amount of terrible and convoluted rip-offish design choices, that are just preventing it for being superb.
    I always liked Chaos Rings series for being simple and fun. In this part, however developers are tried to evolve it into something bigger by adding nomerous game mechanics from other games (shin megami tensei, legend of zelda, etc). Sounds fun, right? Well, it would be, if developers were knowing how to correctly put all pieces together. Weapon system is convluted, gene combining is convoluted and by clearing the first 3 zones fully you will find 3 rare genes that are so good that u can actually clear the whole game with them!
    Furthemore, what the hell mmo elements are doing here? Like multiple kinds of money or daily bonus or premium account and etc?
    This is still good game that worth its money, but i think it could be better if it would passed proper testing.
    Never the less, looking forward for the next part!    … Full Review »

The visuals are gorgeous, especially considering the hardware it runs on. Sure, take a closer look at it and you'll find low-res textures galore, but the art style is solid, and since it's displayed on a small screen, even when it's on the Vita, low-res textures aren't a bother. The battle system is great, and the story is quite fulfilling, with the climax treading crazy territory in all the right ways. Any JRPG enthusiast who wants a decent RPG on their mobile device should nab this game.… Full Review »
