Mechanist Games have just launched the alpha phase of their upcoming MMORPG, City of Steam, and were nice enough to offer us the opportunity of testing the game in this early alpha phase. Based on the popular table-top RPG series, The New Epoch, City of Steam throws players into an intense dungeon crawling experience, offering a variety of intriguing features available directly through your browser. As soon as I launched the game I was met with an impressive introduction cinematic, taking me on a journey in the skies above one of the steam-punk themed cities. Surrounded by tall buildings, steam-punk ships and a vast ocean, the opening really sets the tone.
City of Steam: Arkadia is a 3D industrial age fantasy MMORPG, the debut Unity3D-based MMO from Mechanist Games. It transports players to a world where clockworks, steam power, and arcane technologies suffuse every aspect of existence, from the half-organic, half-mechanical dwarves to the giant gears of the World Machine itself.
To celebrate the launch of yet more servers, N4G is giving away CoS: Arkadia code packs!
Cat writes. "3D industrial age fantasy MMORPG City of Steam: Arkadia is going live on December 4, 9 PM EST, along with new systems, new content and more.
"After breaking ties to publisher R2 Games, the developer Mechanist has made huge changes to the game and is now self-publishing under the title City of Steam: Arkadia. To celebrate, we're giving out Growth Pack codes!"
City of Steam launched to both social and critical acclaim with its intense dungeon-crawling approach to the steam punk theme but that success was short-lived thanks to issues with overseas publishers. Since that time the game had to close for several weeks as Mechanist Games worked on the official relaunch, City of Steam: Arkadia.
tried it, its not for me.
