Chaos Wars (カオスウォーズ Kaosu Wōzu) is a tactical role-playing game released by Idea Factory for the PlayStation 2 in Japan on September 21, 2006. Promotional art for the game is by Nishimura Kinu. The game's opening theme Shūtan 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.[1]
Chaos Wars is a crossover between several companies' role-playing video game series, including Aruze's Shadow Hearts, Atlus's Growlanser, Idea Factory's Blazing Souls, Spectral Souls, and RED Entertainment's Gungrave and Shinsengumi Gunraw Den.[1]
Chaos Wars has become a cult classic because of the poor voice acting in the English conversion of the game. The voice acting of the game is rumored to be the publishing team's family members.

Hyoma (protagonist) 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 a isle near another island named "Radiance Island". There, they find a vacant mansion with its own transporter and that is where their adventure begins.
