Catacombs of Chaos

Catacombs of Chaos is a play-by-mail game that was published by Schubel & Son.

Gameplay

Catacombs of Chaos was a turn-based game where each player controls a party of characters exploring the catacombs formerly used by a wizard who has died.[1] It was a dungeon-exploration game with a ratings system for players.[2]

Reception

W. G. Armintrout reviewed Catacombs of Chaos in The Space Gamer No. 57.[1] Armintrout commented that "Catacombs of Chaos is an ill-explained and confusing game. The worst problem lies with the lack of information given to the players about such basics as character design, magic, and combat."[1]

In the April 1983 edition of Dragon (Issue 72), Michael Gray found the game to be very similar to Heroic Fantasy by Flying Buffalo.[3]

A reviewer in a 1983 issue of PBM Universal stated that, other than no available special actions, "the game is fine".[2]
