Chimeraland is a new MMORPG for PC, Android, and iOS. In it, you explore mystical lands from ancient Chinese stories. One of the game’s features is the character editor, where you can play not only as classic humans but also as creature beings. The game was released on January 6, even though it is currently only playable on PC in Germany.
What kind of game is this? Chimeraland is a free-to-play MMORPG, where especially the crazy character editor causes a stir.
Here, you can combine a human with various animal species, resulting in a creature like an octopus, a bird, a rhinoceros, or a bipedal panda. You can also color the animals in different ways and adjust their proportions and appearance according to your wishes.
However, there are also classic humans in female, male, and very childish forms.
What can come out of the editor can be seen in this screenshot. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch decided on a shark, which he gave a corner in the head, positioned the eyes as far apart as possible, and made the legs as short as possible:
Aside from this editor, the game offers typical MMORPG fare:
- There is a classless system, so armor and weapons determine your playstyle
- You follow a story that is told through the main quest
- There is an open game world with 4 continents without loading screens, graphically reminiscent of Genshin Impact
- There are collecting and crafting systems through which you can also level up actively, like in New World
- You can build your own house anywhere in the open world
- You can sprint with Shift and jump with Spacebar
- There are PvE and PvP content, although it is not yet clear what exactly awaits you in the endgame
- There is a real-money shop with cosmetic items, XP buffs, chests with materials, and automatic completions of daily quests, as well as an additional purchasable battle pass
Additionally, you should be able to tame various animal species as pets or mounts in the game. There is even a breeding feature to create new creatures from your animals. Spooky monsters can also be created in this way.
A glimpse into the MMORPG is provided by the beta review from YouTuber Sh1n Boo:
Chimeraland was released tonight in Asia and is also playable on PC
When is the game coming out? The release of the new MMORPG took place on January 6 at 12:01 AM our time. However, there is a region lock for the game. For now, Chimeraland was only released in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.
On smartphones, you cannot install it via the Google Play Store or the App Store. However, the download on PC works smoothly from Germany, as does the creation of an account. You can start the download via the official Chimeraland website.
The release of a global version is planned.
Is the download worth it? It depends. I already had a lot of fun with the character editor and that is a clear recommendation.
The gameplay, however, feels rather clunky in the first minutes and there are lags because the servers are located in Asia. You attack with the mouse button and use special abilities on the Q and E keys, though it could be that more abilities are unlocked at a later level.
The MMORPG is also available in English, which is why I can play it without any issues. The porting for PC looks good at first. The interface is tidy and understandable, and you only slightly notice its mobile origins.
What do you think of Chimeraland? Does the setting appeal to you, or will you likely ignore this crazy game? Feel free to write it in the comments.
A new MMORPG called Broken Ranks is also set to release in January. It features a very special combat system:
