Bobby has revealed the first gameplay footage for its new sci-fi strategy game, Chaotic Era. The game first appeared back in February with a teaser trailer that left many of us puzzled as to the true nature of the game, but enchanted nonetheless by its standout ’80s sci-fi-themed visuals. The newest trailer confirms that Chaotic Era is, indeed, a space-based RTS, and further details on Bobby’s website give a little more insight into the game:
“A lone evacuation ship hurtles out into the darkness of space, thousands of lightyears off course. Onboard are the only humans left alive, awoken from hibernation by a nearby world. They reactivate their AI navigation system—damaged, but functioning enough to perform its hard-coded directive: to protect, sustain, and expand civilization.”
It’s a pretty exciting setup, and hints at Chaotic Era’s true scale – as a huge real-time strategy game set within a procedurally-generated universe. You grow your fledgling civilisation into a galaxy-spanning interstellar empire, which is pretty exciting, as that scale might dwarf all but a few mobile strategy games.

You can find out more details about Chaotic Era on the Bobby website, including some posts about how ’80s sci-fi inspired the game’s UI, and where Chaotic Era’s influences come from. Either way, we’re very excited to see a cool-looking strategy game of this scale make it to mobile.
