Atlantica Global is an interesting MMORPG that has launched on Steam, offering unique features that distinguish it from typical genre representatives.
What kind of game is this? Atlantica Global is a new international version of the Asian MMORPG Atlantica Online, which was released in 2008. You will find yourselves on an alternative Earth, a parallel world where some historical and cultural elements align with the real world, but fantasy elements prevail.
You are descendants of the inhabitants of Atlantis, who were able to produce the powerful material Oriharukon. Atlantis has disappeared, but Oriharukon is now being misused for evil purposes. You and your team of mercenaries must protect the world from this evil. To do so, you explore the continents, fight through dungeons, and complete quests.

Players have mixed opinions
How is the MMORPG currently received? At the moment, not much can be said about how successful Atlantica Global will be on Steam, as the game has only been online for about a day. The rating on Steam currently stands at 65 percent. The player count according to Steamcharts averages 1,371 concurrent players, with a peak of 1,720 players.
Players criticize that there is hardly any explanation about the game and newcomers receive far too many good items and boosts at the beginning. However, the MMORPG is praised for its unusual elements, the turn-based battles, and that it feels like a mix of a strategy game and an MMORPG.
- Figment comments on Steam: “I used to play Atlantica and liked it. This is a nightmare. They give you OP equipment and throw you into a broken tutorial where they just leave you there.”
- Mukatil, on the other hand, enjoys the game: “I played this great, unique game a long time ago. It brings back nostalgia while still being fun. I only wish someone would take the systems and mechanics of the game and create a modern version with modern technology.”
