Chaos Rings (ケイオスリングス, Keiosu Ringusu) is a role-playing video game developed by Media.Vision and published by Square Enix. It was released worldwide in 2010 as an exclusive title for iOS,[1][2] but it was later ported to the Android, Windows Phone 7, and PlayStation Vita.[3] Effective May 31, 2016, Square Enix ended distribution of this title, and it is no longer available for download or purchase. Produced by Takehiro Ando, characters were designed by Yusuke Naora, the art director of Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and X among other successful titles.[4]
The game takes place in a mysterious place known as Ark Arena, where participants face enemies in both dungeons and tournament-play to avoid death and gain immortality.[5] Chaos Rings features four scenarios. Each scenario is played by two different story characters and across several worlds, ending with a boss battle.[6] A prequel, Chaos Rings Omega, was released on May 19, 2011, and two sequels, Chaos Rings II, released on March 15, 2012, and Chaos Rings III, released on October 16, 2014.
