Imagine a world that's been torn apart by a great earthquake, its land mass fractured, its advanced technology lost, and people reverting to machines and devices powered by steam. Throw in some magic and populate the planet with strange creatures in anime style and you have Neo Steam, a free-to-play massively multi-player online role-playing game developed by Joy Impact, a Korean company. The game is published by Atlus in the US and Gamigo in Europe.
Atlus Online's free-to-play steampunk MMORPG Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent is about to celebrate its one-year anniversary.
Bright Hub writes "Atlus' MMORPG set within a steam-powered, medieval-fantasy universe has become renowned for its themes and artistic style, but how well does this game measure up as an overall gameplay experience? Well, there are a lot of good things present in the game's concept but I can't readily say that Neo Steam is as good a game as I was expecting it to be."
Covered in jungle and active volcanoes, Rope Isle would be a fairly easy romp toward the precious steam if not for the fact that the island already has inhabitants who aren't pleased with the idea of anyone else coming in. Since they're unlikely to respond to a reasonable discussion about the demands of industrialized economy, Neo Steam players can expect to be pitted against a difficult battle. The update will also increase the level cap to 70 and two new battlefields, to help hone players and improve their skills for the dangerous island.
