Originally released in Japan in 2006, Chaos Wars is a strategy role-playing game featuring characters from multiple game franchises. Thirty-six protagonists from such titles as Shadow Hearts, Growlanser, Gungrave, and Generation of Chaos have united against a common threat. Players will assemble a party of heroes to engage in turn-based battles against a variety of monsters. A key feature in Chaos Wars is the ability to freely move characters within a circular area instead of a fixed number of squares or spaces, as is typical of the genre. A menu display lets players issue commands to attack, cast magic, or use items until the battle is won.

The game's opening theme "Shutan no Ou to Isekai no Kishi ~The Endia&The Knights~" was done by Sound Horizon. In North America, the game was released on June 3, 2008 as a GameStop exclusive

STORY:
Hyoma has a dream of another world over a pillar of light coming from his family shrine. The next day, he decides to take his two friends (Shinzuku, and Hayate) to investigate. During their investigation, they find a cave with strange technology but as they are looking in to it, the machines activate and a bright light appears, taking them to another world known as Endia.

When Hyoma teleports to the world, he encounters a girl named Rin, who is surrounded by monsters. After Hyoma helps defeat the creatures, more appear so both Hyoma and Rin run together, where they meet up with a friend of Rin's named Hiro. Afterwords, Rin explains that the walls are thick in this world, which is the reason that they have been taken from their world to this world. They are known as "Knights" because when people are taken to Endia, they obtain powers like any other.

When Hyoma asks how to get back to his world, Rin explains that there is no way to return. Hyoma doesn't accept this fact and decides to find a way, but there, they then encounter the "Luin", an Organization that is determined to find "Keys" (which are mechanisms used to open gates and to summon "knights") in order to make their "paradise". After they escape from them with the help of Rin, they are taken to an isle near another island named "Radiance Island". There, they find a vacant mansion with its own transporter and that is where their adventure begins.
