History YMMV / ChaosLegion

** '''Stage 4: Ruins of Murdoa'''. On top of having no checkpoints until the boss battle, the vast amount of [[GoddamnBats Archanus]] the player must deal with after the initial set of enemies and Jenon will make the task of killing four other Jenons a tedious hassle without Malice to mow them down. The boss battle is a gauntlet of six Zagans divided between three waves, with the third wave having players dealing with no less than three Zagans and a horde of respawning Ogmas that is guaranteed to frustrate players from taking cheap shots from being ambushed on all sides and outside their field of view that quickly turns this boss battle into a tedious mess.

* PortingDisaster: The PC port was heavily criticized due to the broken DRM in the initial prints of the port used that rendered the game unplayable after installation (unless a crack was used), which caused Capcom to recall the game and issue a patch to fix the issues with said copy protection. Those that were able to play the game beyond the copy protection problems, however, ran into other issues with the port such as frequent crashes between loading screens due to the game not supporting hyperthreading, poor quality depth of field effects, limited graphics options, performance issues, and mismatched textures when playing the game on Windows 7 or later.

** Moving beyond Fukusawa's contributions, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkddI6fIizc "FLY" by Liv]] is an uplifting song that fittingly plays over the ending sequence and credits.

* AdaptationDisplacement: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Legion According to]] [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]], it was originally a ''{{light novel|s}}'' series.

** ''VideoGame/AstralChain'' is another HackAndSlash involving [[SpiritualSuccessor Legion-based combat]].

* FandomRivalry: With ''VideoGame/AstralChain'' as fans of that game generally look down on ''Chaos Legion'' as a mediocre hack-and-slash game, while the some latter camp call out fans of ''Astral Chain'' for not having any qualms of said game [[TheyCopiedItNowItSucks copying its Legion-based mechanics]] and/or point out the bad optics of boasting about their game's apparent superiority over a title that released nearly ''sixteen'' years earlier.

** Despite the above, with ''VideoGame/AstralChain'' as well. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this boils down to ''Astral Chain'' being seen as a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Chaos Legion'' on account of both games having similar gameplay mechanics.

** Stage 6: Lakeside. Compared to Stage 4 or 5, most of the enemies are organic and can be taken down with the Guilt and Malice/Flawed Legions, and the level is also shorter than those two, however, your first encounter with the Danu enemies at the end may be a wake-up call if you don't take advantage of your Legion's Assist attacks to wear them down.

** Arrogance's fully-charged laser beam can make quick work of enemy spawners and even bosses.

* DemonicSpiders: Rogue Ogmas will ruin your day. Unlike regular Ogmas, these wretches can breath fire which can burn away most of your HP. First encountered in Stage 7, they will make you struggle to get past the first area.
