Players choose their character between a knight, ninja, cleric, hunter, bandit, sorceress, thief, or deprived and use weapons, spells, and jumps to explore a world filled with monsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oblige Of CHAOS - Gameplay Part 4\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WUNfWQXS3ik?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oblige Of CHAOS - Gameplay Part 3\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sK4HSKwUljw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>A variety of locations from grassy plains and poisonous swamps to deserts, volcanos, and frozen lakes await in <em>Oblige Of CHAOS<\/em>, and it\u2019s possible to explore all of these areas from the start of the game. Each area of the world has its own gimmicks and bosses, and the game gives players freedom in how they adventure and solve puzzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game also has what it called Elemental Reactions, which is a system where enemies and objects in the world react to the player. For example, you can cut grass, burn trees, or turn apples into juice. The meat of defeated enemies can be cooked and eaten to restore health and some actions can cause slime enemies to divide into more slimes. It looks like there are a variety of reactions that can occur based on what the player does. It also seems to play an important role in puzzle solving such as chests that can only be opened by specific elements.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220802-212802-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Players level up by performing actions like using their weapons and spells, unlocking doors, and discovering books. Player behavior can also increase the spawn rate of stronger enemies, which when combined with what was mentioned above, makes it sound like player behavior will influence both your character and the game itself. Other mechanics include a crafting system that uses gathered items and a fast travel system that\u2019s always available.
