Khimera: Destroy All Monster Girls

Really enjoyed my time with this game. Worth checking out if your interested in a melee focused megaman-lite with some silly dialogue & great movement. It's free so worth giving a crack imo.

Khimera: Destroy All Monster Girls is an absolutely amazing and adorable adventure, platformer game that takes the best ideas from other great games, why’ll still being its own thing. Let’s get into the story.

Morgana Island a peaceful place were monsters can live without fear.
That is until the famous and fearsome pirates known as the sea spiders come to plunder the Island, and no one can stop them.

Until Chelshia the chimera the world’s first synthetic monster is made to kick their butts and take back their ill gotten treasure.

So with that all said, on to the likes. To start the game’s story is good and made even better with a colorful cast of characters bringing it to life.

And now characters, they are really good, cute with funny and cute dialog, even the NPC’s dialog is good, it reminds me of games like undertale.

The platforming is fun and vary well made and did not feel unfair at all, same with combat. The combat was fun with all kinds of fun powers to get.

The pixel art/graphics style is very good with little touches throughout the game. The enemies were good looking and nice to fight, especially the bosses.

All so game is absolutely adorable, from the dialog, to the humor, to the looks of the characters, even the story is cute.
Okay let’s get into the dislikes and there is nothing to dislike it about this game, it’s absolutely perfect.

All right then with that said Khimera: Destroy All Monster Girls is an absolutely amazing and adorable adventure, platformer game.

With a good story, really good, cute and funny characters and dialog and fun platforming that does not feel unfair, and so
much more.

So if you’re looking for a fun, cute adventure, platformer game. I highly, highly, highly recommend this game.

POL//////////

+ pixelart wygląda cudownie
+ soundtrack
+ dynamiczny gameplay

+ wiele rzeczy do zrobienia
+ jest darmowa

Nigdy nie opuszczaj dnia nóg.

9+/10

Took me 4hrs to beat, and it's only 66% completed. Just an all-around fantastic game. The dialogue is great, all the sprites are absolutely adorable and the gameplay is top. Not an easy game, but if you like platformers, this is the game for you. It shoud really be worth $10-15+ on steam, I have no idea why it's free to play??

This game was better than the standard platformers we get as of late. Harder than mario, with an upgrade system reminescant of Megaman. Plenty of enemy types with unique attack patterns and damage outputs and collectibles to test your dilligence. At no point in the game do you feel like there is an enemy type that is just a reskin of a previous. A basic plot that doesn't seem to overbearing or ridiculuos. Great replayability due to how you can complete the entire game without using your power ups or upgrades at all. The only real problem I saw with the game was the large learning curve you have to get used to, as the maps can be extremely unforgiving. Overall I'd give this game a 8/10.

Today i installed my favrout anime as a game
i was very disapointed i wanted this game to like the anime
but i am disapointed no Mad i can't belive they could't fit in atleast 1 season they just put in the first epsidoe i was in raged
by how careless the producers were i wanted my waifu to apear in this anime
i wanted the soul of the anime to be in this game but no they just made a crappy game at least you could have put in a crossover epsidoe like jhonny shrek bee in the house whit khimera battleing the evil pirate goverment using terminators but
you wanted this basic ass game anyone that likes this game is a anime noob and shoud die amidiatly becus you don't have standars devs shoud be burning in hell for this crappy game and i am man >:( and i will assasinate the company dad shirts and business shoes

It's pretty amazing to me the kinds of games you can find for free. I don't know how it happens but some developers seem perfectly content to make something amazing and just give it away. That's certainly how I felt about Khimera, because the whole time I was playing it I was comparing it in my head to Shovel Knight. That should be pretty high praise, I think, but the comparisons aren't entirely positive.

On a remote island of monsters, a bunch of monster pirates haul off and steal all the money from town. The local maddish scientist lets his latest creation, a chimera girl with a big funky stone arm, run off to stop them before they abscond with the loot. That gives you a whole island of tricky levels to tackle, with trips back to Mr. Science to turn boss monster DNA into a new power for your patchwork body. There's also loot to score, fairies to free, trades to make, costumes to unlock, and a whole mess of chatty NPCs to get friendly with.

If this sounds like a load of content for a free title then your head's in the right place. Khimera is a full, feature-rich game that can keep you occupied for hours. While the levels aren't quite as long or numerous as something like Shovel Knight they hide a TON of secrets, and you'll need to do plenty of backtracking and experimenting with new powers if you want to unearth the many kooky sidequests hidden in the villages. Your efforts are rewarded with additional powers, costumes, and most importantly, charming dialogue from the island's colorful inhabitants. While there's a bit of internet humor that's certainly going to date it in a few years, most of the text in Khimera is plenty funny and keeps me going to meet more of the cast.

Luckily the gameplay is able to keep up with the content, featuring some quality retro platforming across plenty of challenging levels. I know I can't shut up about Shovel Knight but that is absolutely the closest thing to Khimera in terms of challenge and level layout. Every stage has plenty of enemies, pits, spikes, and secrets to deal with, and while Khimera never gets as creative with its gimmicks as Shovel Knight it makes up for it with multiple paths through levels. The powers you get from bosses makes platforming a real joy here, starting with a versatile dash attack and expanding to winged double-jumps and shocking ground-pounds.

I mentioned the challenge being similar because it is, though it might stray a little too far on the side of frustration. Checkpoints are sometimes sparse between difficult sections, with the hardest jumps and maneuvers coming at the very end of a sequence. The spikes are happily not instant death but they will mess you up plenty with how abundant and lethal they are, and every bottomless pit is a significant threat. Interestingly the enemies and bosses are probably the least dangerous part of the game, thanks mainly to your powerful dash attack that makes you invincible for several frames. In fact, many of the bosses can be offed by just smashing into them over and over.

The net result is an excellent retro platformer that'll take you upwards of two hours to beat, and plenty more if you go secret hunting. The graphics are finely detailed in their pixel style, though levels tend to have kinda bland tile repetition. Sound design is definitely more up to the task with memorable tunes and familiar-feeling effects. If this were a paid product I would have no problem at all recommending Khimera, so as a free game I feel justified in ridiculing you if you don't give it a go.



Did you enjoy this review? I certainly hope so, and I certainly hope you'll check out more of them at https://goldplatedgames.com/ or on my curation page!

Khimera: Destroy All Monster Girls is an action platform game inspired by classics like Megaman and (mainly) Shovel Knight. You control a chimera of some sort who's after the leaders of a pirate monster girl squad that plots to steal all of your island's precious resources.

Venturing through thematic stages, you fight mobs and move through agility-based challenges until you finally meet a boss. After that, you get a special power based on the boss' own skills, and you move to the next stage you want to face.

Like Shovel Knight, the main screen is a map of the areas you can go. Some are the normal stages, some are optional stages that you have to unlock, and some are just places where you can meet NPCs.

The art is great, the music is fun, the gameplay is solid, the level design is smart and everything feats a charming tongue in cheek vibe. It also has tons of collectibles to find and challenges to beat, if you're into that stuff. I am.

The game has a soul of its own. I really can't believe it's free. I bought the DLC just so I could give the devs a little money.

If you like Megaman and Shovel Knight, give Khimera a try.

Very nice free game. Tons of thing to do. Many hours of fun if you like an old timer platformer.

what're you reading reviews for? its free and a fuckin good game, definitely worth 10 bucks imo

you get new moves and abilities from main bosses and side level bosses you'll have to find secrets in order to unlock extra stages with extra bosses, more collectables, and free new abilities, and then theres more to unlock, and more to unlock and you can always redo your top score on a level later on when youre more pumped out, its hilarious, cute, great music, feels like a retro game and idk... FREE?????

(game is totally free) though to be completely honest, you cant proceed past a certain point without buying the dlc, the maid outfit is a must buy due to your conscience. (game is totally free)

This is of the best games that I have ever played in my life... and IT'S FREE!

One of the things that I like so much of this game is the difficutly, is kinda hard but enough to enjoy it and be able to complete the game (I'm really bad at the NES Megaman games, since are super hard for me).

Everything is good! The graphics, the character design, the stages, the mechanics, etc. There is not reason to no play it unless you no like platforming games.

If I have a complaint about the game it would be the Steam banner because in my opinion it is very misleading about the quality of the game at simple sight.

Recommendable.

I adore this game.
So much love and care clearly went into it.
It is not without issuesi could comment on, but the core gameplay is solid.
And so many little things got polish and personal touches, it just shows.
Little animations in places, extra diologue depending on situations,

I hope they make a sequel.

This was a charming and very fun game. My only complaint is that it's too short! I had such a blast playing it, and I can't wait to see the sequel!

This game could have easily charged money, and it would have been right to do so. It's a quality game, and for free at that! Definitely recommend.

This game was a ton of fun! I'm going to buy the DLC outfit just as a "thank you" to the developer! Don't miss out, it's totally free!

Pixel platformer with really cute characters (NPCs).

Varied facial expressions makes it more alive too. Really like the main character's design ^^ Change your clothing set (5-6 choices to discover) and learn new moves along the way. Some secrets here and there scattered through the levels. Boss fights are fun and varied. On the flipside, the platforming can get brutal in a few places and leave you to lose all of your hard earned gold ($) pretty easily. Expect to be redoing some parts over-and-over until you reach the next checkpoint. It can get frustrating - personally I'll move on to something else. But remember this: it's FREE! If the artstyle appeals to you, try it out!

Great game! I really enjoyed playing it! It has good humour and funny story! Unbelievable that such a great game is available for free! GO GET IT!!!!

This is a good game, especially when you consider the fact that it's free. A lot of work must have gone into this because the gameplay is fantastic(may have a few complaints but that's for another time), the plot is fairly simple and the dialog is fun and nice.

the whole atmosphere of the game is really nice overall and has a cute retro aesthetic(a few notes like how the dialog box icons match up way too much with a regular sprite). Defeating a level feels really satisfying, and so does finding the secret items!

Overall would reccomend.

This is a really good game with lots of optional collectables and challenges
Also cute monster girls but those are just icing.

One of the top ten 2d plattformers of the last decade and it's free.
It has one of the best composed upbeat chiptune soundtracks,
tight gameplay mechanics, good level design, a very authentic retro look.
I hope that there will be a hardcopy with a few more levels and sequel someday, take my money.

I'm bad at writing reviews, so here's just a list of pros and cons

Pros:
-Tight Controls
-Nice Graphics
-Good Music
-Good Level Design
-Great Character Design
-Fun But Challanging Boss Battles
-Good Difficulty Curve

Cons:
-

This was a fun game, especially considering it was free. I would definitely recommend giving this game a little try.
