Recently we have just downloaded the latest game Chibi Online from Perfect World Development Team. Now Chibi Online is in Open Beta in China. Since perfect world use the same 3D Engine, so we don’t think there are so much differences in general appearance - it’s still the most beautiful world you are going to explore.
Chibi means a Red Cliff, as you may know a movie called Red Cliff, alternatively known as The Battle of Red Cliff. You can find more details about that well-known battle in Chinese history from Battle of Red Cliff.
Let’s see what the official says about the features of this game. They say there are 10 reasons that you must play Chibi Online.
Ten Reasons to Play Chibi Online
01. Combats: All kongfu movements are captured from a kongfu master called Andy Lin. Every movement, attack or a block is captured from the real kongfu.
02. Weapons: There are hundreds of weapons in ancient China. These weapons in general were called the Eighteen Arms. As to most of us, sword, spear and bow are well known in current mmorpgs. In Chibi Online you will be able to get the chance to know the rest of Eighteen Weapons. Currently only 4 weapons are open in Chibi Online. The Eighteen Arms are:
Dao, Qiang, Jian, Halberd, Axe, Battle axe, Hook sword, Fork, Chain whip, Mace, Hammer, Talon Trident-halberd, Cudgel (also known as Staff), Long-handled spear (also known as Lance Short), cudgel, Stick (also known as Crutches) and Meteor hammer(from wikipedia.org)
03. State War: Since the game sets up its background on the history of Three Kingdoms period (for more details please check wikipedia.org by searching Three Kingdoms), there are 3 forces in game. Currently we are familiar with the 2 forces battle mmorpg: A battles B. But what will happen if we add a C when A and B are planning to battle? Will C go to help A or B? Or just wait and to conquer both of them?
04. Legion: That’s the normal guild system. We won’t talk much more since most of us know what it is.
05. Card: Currently we still can not figure it out in official website. It says it can help players to recall the past and record the history. Players can also use this card information to get unique titles, skills, equipment. Since we are in low level and we are still unable touch this part of the game.
06. Mandarin: Bureaucrat system. Currently this system is pretty hot in Chinese mmorpg. Players can get different equipment, skills and reward from different mandarins. It’s a kind of position in your game world society.
07. Living Skills: Same as others in other MMORPGs.
08. Instance:Same as in other mmorpg. But instances are designed mainly on the Chinese Three Kingdoms’ history.
09. Battlefield(Honor Killing): Nothing differnct from those in other mmorpg. It also contains a PK Arena.
10. Reputation: It’s very important to gain your reputation points. Just like reputation system in phoenix dynasty online, you need to use reputation everywhere: gaining equipment, wearing equipment, lvling up your skills, gaining higher rank in mandarin system, entering different areas etc.
Some thoughts from first 10 levels in Chibi Online
We have just downloaded the game and played our characters to level 10. It took us more than 1 hour time. That’s the main problem in current free mmorpg: too many quests. Maybe newbie quests are designed for those who never played mmorpg before. Since nowadays over hundreds of games are coming out, we don’t think we need so many quests in the newbie village. Nvm, let us find something difference in this game.
01. Autopath System
In Chibi Online, you do not need to remember the locations of maps and NPC. Just click the name of the NPC/Quest Items/Mob names and your character will move to the place automatically. All click-able NPC/Quest Items/Mobs are in green color. So that is very convenient for players. Currently almost every Chinese mmorpg has this function implemented into game now. Not many Korean MMORPG support this function. So as to this system, we think Chinese mmorpg companies did a good job since nowadays it’s a headache to find your way home in most mmorpg - map is way too big!
02. Click to level up
Different from most other 3D MMORPG, in Chibi Online, you need to click the Level Up button to upgrade your character’s level. If you do not click the Level Up button, you can still gain the exp. by completing quests or killing mobs, but your attributes will remain as it is.
Name:
Level:
Exp Needed for next Level:
Main Weapon:
Next Level for Weapon Upgrade:
Minor Weapon:
Birth Place:
Spouse:
PK Value:
Attack:
Defence:
Attack Range
Attack Intensity
Attack Intervals
Hit Rate:
Dodge:
Criticals:
HP Regeneration:
Vitality Regeneration:
Movement Speed:
This setting tells us that, in Chibi Online, exp can not only be used to upgrade character’s level; it also can be used to upgrade the skills/weapons etc.
03. Quest Tracker
This system is passed down from the previous games from Perfect World. Players can easily to check the status of their quests. As you can see from the picture:
Quest name:
Quest Item Gained: (0/5)
That’s copied from a plug-in of World of Warcraft. It seems WOW also borrowed this setting into their own game now.
04. Camera
Chibi Online is a really eye-catching MMORPG. Designers set a ingame camera for the players to take the better screenshots.
We also made a screenshot since we have made a girl character. Does her look sexy? lol.
We will update the information of Chibi Online from time to time. If you are really interested in this game, feel free to post in forum or you can directly check their official website: http://www.chibi.com.
“Unofficial Legend of Knight World” has been familiar by national audiences. Therefore, the game naturally includes those well-known, witty and humorous classic dialogs. Besides, changing face and body is a sole capability of knights. Changing face has great advantages for prying into information or escaping the killing in revenge. Especially when knights remove their disguise and show their real face, how surprised their counterpart is. Every player experiences this when they watch teleplay. Such mysterious technique can make anyone change himself as a knight and even as fierce beast or monster. All these features add much fun for the knight world. In addition, this game includes ornate fashion, complicated guild conflict for grudge and grievance, love and hate, knight reining war horse and galloping on the battlefield and even many interesting events written by Ning Caishen among novel and rich mission systems.
