What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“At Volok it is our goal to provide the best possible experience for our first title. The Early Access period will allow us to gather as much feedback as possible from players to ensure we provide an engaging gameplay loop and a highly polished full game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Chimera C.U.S.T.O.M. XG is planned to be in Early Access until Q4 of 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full game we plan to include refined multiplayer modes, more levels to explore, more boss battles, and more secrets to uncover. In addition, we plan to add over-the-top XG weapons and items, with unlockable higher tier Animal Genetics to push your builds to their limits. The early access period will ensure that player progression and the weapon sandbox is highly polished and balanced.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version has the first half of the campaign, the four starter Animal Genetics, and Genome Breach, a rogue-lite simulation, to test the strength of your builds.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Those that buy the Early Access version will receive the full game at no additional cost. Although the price of the game will increase as we exit Early Access the most important thing to us is that we deliver a game with a price that is fair based on the quality we deliver.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to connect with our community via social media platforms and our Discord server. We want to work with the community throughout the process with monthly meet ups with the dev team, gather player feedback, and ensure our fans feel heard.”

About This Game

WAKE UP. REALITY’S CRACKED.

Aliens have finally invaded, loud, mean, and not here for us. Earth has been scorched, defenses are obliterated, but the war isn’t over. What are the invaders after?

You are a C.U.S.T.O.M. soldier, engineered with the perfect balance of strength, aggression, and stupidity. Fuse with Animal Genetics, load up on high tech weaponry, and run throat first into danger.

Blast your way through sewer scum in New Los Angeles to the bloodied snows in Antarctica and more! Which timeline will bring forth the truth?

NO LIMITS ONLY XTREME GREATNESS. 

Clear waves, choose mutations, and morph your DNA to the extreme! Stack damage, hoard HP, size up your bullets, and more. Special gene augments crank your Animal Genetics to their evolutionary breaking point.

High-speed nuanced twin-stick action with melee, dodging, grenade cooking, animal DNA, and endless augment combos. Every button counts and every move has teeth.

Whatever keeps you alive is allowed, despite what Geneva says.

C.U.S.T.O.M.-IZE EVERYTHING. REGRET NOTHING.

Mod your weapons on the fly, pick the affix that fits your attitude, and become the problem. Master the Animal Power that accentuates your playstyle, because destruction should be custom-tailored.

On your missions through space and time, perfect your genetic signature until you’re a walking war crime.

SQUAD LOCKED. GUNS LOADED.

Squad up in 4-player co-op with your emotional support gremlins and jump right into the action. The game scales with your crew, so every run hits hard, stays fresh, and keeps you coming back for more.

Perfect for tryhards and button-mashers alike because death’s a lot less lonely with friends.

TEST IT. BREAK IT. SHAPE IT.

Your voice shapes the game. We listen, tweak fast, and update even faster.

Join early. Make it yours.

CRACK THE PLANET. PUNCH SOME ALIENS.

Dive into the lurch with ever changing paths of chaos, making every run unique. Pull the thread with help from unlikely allies. Will you merely scrape the surface, or delve deeper into the conspiracy? Every run brings you closer to the truth!
