After seeing a couple of posts from other Blaugustians, I decided to check out the latest MMO/Survival/Open-World game, Chimeraland and I have to say, it’s incredibly addictive.

I’ve never been a huge can of the Asian-style of game, I’ve tried a few like Blade and Soul, Black Desert Online and even Genshen Impact (my daughter’s flavour of the month) but none of them have really grabbed me but there’s something about this.
One fairly unique element of the game is the kind of characters you can play. Races are wide ranging, from humans to every animal type you could imagine each with a different look based on age. I rolled a bull.

It has everything, quick and intuitive combat, resource collection, building, questing and crafting. Just when I think I have the systems figured out, I come across even more detail, Life skills for example, allow you to specialise in particular crafts, with advancement points earned through performing a particular activity. Chopping down trees makes you better at it, which then gives points to learn how to get extra materials from a given tree.
I feel there is still a huge amount to learn, having put in about 30 hours so far, but I’m enjoying everything about it so far.
Always good to see someone discovering how much fun Chimeraland is. It’s a chaotic jumble too, but somehow that just adds to the appeal.

It’s been hard to know if the chaotic jumble was my lack of understanding or intentional/unintentional design. Thanks for the tip off anyway, Bhagpuss, it’s been well worth my time.
