MMORPG.com reviewer Carolyn Koh takes a look this week at NeoSteam, the "steampunk" offering from the folks at Atlus.

NeoSteam  Screen

Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent developed by Hanbitsoft and Joy Impact and published by Atlus Online in the US market, is billed as a fantasy Steampunk MMORPG. That unfortunately is where it breaks down. Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction combining science and magic, set in an era where steam power was still in use - most often Victorian England in the time of the alternate Industrial Revolution - hence the "Steam" in Steampunk. It is an era of imaginary technological advances or advances of the "path not taken" of dirigibles and jet packs.

 Awesome review carol, I played neosteam since it's beta launch and also share alot of the same views about the game as you wrote. For me Neo Steam lost steam very quickly and couldn't hold my intereest for very long. In my "humble" opinion there is better games in the F2P space than Neo Steam, I would recommend even Runes of Magic if anyone is looking for a fantasy Hack'N'Slash.

Thanks, Inktomi.  I have to admit, I very much wanted to like it. The graphics are soft as a baby's bottom but looks pretty and the cutscenes are quite beautiful, however the nifty machines (luuurved the mechanical squirrel in WoW) doesn't quite make up for the lacks.
