Are you ready to dive into the twisted, dark fantasy world of Chaos Zero Nightmare? This upcoming gacha RPG has been creating buzz among enthusiasts and RPG fans alike. Here, we explore key features including gameplay, beta details, characters, and more!

Chaos Zero Nightmare Gameplay: What to Expect

Chaos Zero Nightmare is a turn‑based roguelite gacha RPG developed by Super Creative and published by Smilegate. The game fuses strategic deck-building with character management and narrative branching.

In the core Chaos Missions mode, players traverse a map of zones, similar to node‑based progression seen in Slay the Spire. At each step, you choose “Fates” (passive modifiers) and face battles or events.

Combat leans into a card-based system, with decks composed from “Combatants” and “Partners.” One unique twist: the Mental Breakdown system. Each character’s psychological stress impacts their performance in battle. You’ll need to monitor and mitigate stress to keep your units effective.

The game also features branching narrative elements and a “Save Data” system where your choices carry over between runs, making each playthrough distinct.

Smilegate’s promotional material also showed off haunting creatures, corrupted environments, and a depressive aesthetic tied to the narrative that the world is being consumed by an entity called “Chaos.”

Beta / Pre‑Registration & Release Info

Chaos Zero Nightmare is still in its lead-up to global launch. As of mid‑2025, pre‑registrations have already begun. The developers have released multiple gameplay trailers to build hype, such as the “Embrace Despair” trailer showcasing core mechanics and monsters.

Though a full-scale global beta hasn’t officially launched, limited playtests have occurred, especially in Korea, with shared insights on gacha rates, mechanics, and balancing. Sources note that information gleaned from these playtests is tentative and subject to change in the global version.

The official release date (global) is slated for October 22, 2025 per Gematsu. That means the window for beta or early access may be relatively short. Stay tuned to official channels (X, YouTube, site) for announcements.

Characters: Who You’ll Meet & Best Picks

From early reveals, Chaos Zero Nightmare side‑characters are categorized by rarity and role (Combatant, Partner, Striker, etc.). A published tier list by Gamezebo ranks some of the strongest, Scarlett, Khalipe, Renoa, Elexia, Haru, Chizuru, Yuki, Bria, and Janet all make the S‑Tier list.

The official site has confirmed characters like Renoa, Mika, Haru, Owen, Maribell, Beryl, and Luke among the roster. Meanwhile Prydwen.gg maintains a comprehensive list of over 20 characters across 4★ and 5★ rarities.

Players in early playtests continuously praise the “charming cast” and differentiated personalities.That said, balancing and viability could shift between beta and full release.

Final Thoughts & What to Watch

Chaos Zero Nightmare promises to stand out in the gacha field by blending roguelite elements, card strategy, mental stress management, and choice‑driven narrative. Its dark fantasy aesthetics and lore of a world consumed by “Chaos” lend it a strong thematic identity.

For fans of tactical depth and replayability, this might become a must-play title. Once the global beta or early access opens, be among the first to test new meta strategies, experiment with unique Fate modifiers, and push characters to their psychological limits.
