7 MMOs and MMORPGs without the classic fantasy setting

Lost Ark

What kind of game is this? Lost Ark might look like a hack-and-slash at first glance. You experience the events from a top-down perspective like in Diablo and fight in action-packed battles against monsters.

However, Lost Ark contains a full-fledged MMORPG with many quests, exploration of a vast world, PvP content, and plenty of group play.

What is special about the scenario? Even though Lost Ark may seem like a fantasy scenario, it is indeed a steampunk setting. You fight against machines and use firearms alongside magic.

Steampunk scenarios can be seen as a kind of evolution of fantasy worlds. What if a fantasy realm initiates the industrial revolution? Lost Ark answers that.

Who is Lost Ark suitable for? The highly anticipated MMORPG targets anyone looking for a classic online role-playing game with action-packed battles and plenty of content that also offers some quirks and uniqueness.

The scenario still leans towards fantasy and is not too far from it but still offers something new and a certain change through steampunk.
