Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower, known as Vampire Chronicle The Chaos Tower (ヴァンパイア クロニクル ザ カオス タワー, Vanpaia Kuronikuru Za Kaosu Tawā^?) in Japan, is a Capcom fighting game for the PlayStation Portable. It was released on December 12, 2004, alongside the PSP at launch in Japan, and in North America on March 24, 2005, a week before the North American PSP launch.

It is a port of the Japan-only Dreamcast game Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service, which in turn is a version of Vampire Savior that allows players to choose their fighting style from all five Darkstalkers arcade games (DarkStalkers, Night Warriors, Vampire Savior and the Japan-only Vampire Savior 2 and Vampire Hunter 2).

Gameplay

The game has all the characters from prior installments of the series and includes all the endings and moves from the games: Darkstalkers, Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, and Vampire Savior. The complete soundtracks from all three games are also selectable based on play style. However, the levels, selection screen and supposed endings are all from Vampire Savior 2.

Reception

It was one of the three games nominated by GameSpot for the title of the Best Fighting Game of 2005, along with a comment that it is was (at the time) "probably the best portable fighting game ever made".^[1]
