MMORPG has updated their NeoSteam gallery with a whopping 28 new screenshots! Check them all out.
MMOHut, "Steampunk is an often neglected subgenre. Mixing elements of fantasy and sci-fi to create a world where both swords and Gatling guns can co-exist is no easy task. Maybe that's why so few free to play MMORPGs have experimented with a Steampunk setting..."
Recently, Massively had the opportunity to sit down with Jeffrey Hong, marketing coordinator for Atlus Online and Neo Steam. It's been awhile since they were able to talk one-on-one with the steampunk MMO developer, so they decided to ask a few questions about the game's current progression, the often-overlooked deep lore and the recent addition of 100 new games to Atlus Online's portal.
In this reviewer's opinion, Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent does not stand out in the field. Steampunk elements are not enough to make it a Steampunk game and the classes are really just generic fantasy stock - even the Machinist can be compared to a Tinker / Armor / Equipment Smith and uses guns. That said, players that enjoy playing in guilds and team based PvP may certainly enjoy the battlefields in Neo Steam. It is attractive enough in and of itself if you take it for what it is: a fantasy hack and slash, free to play MMO with visual hallmarks of the Steampunk genre and an RvR end game.
