With Kaetram, a new MMORPG launched on Steam on May 17, 2024, reminiscent of Terraria with its 2D pixel look and underground world. Many of the initial user reviews are positive.
What kind of game is this? Kaetram is a 2D pixel MMORPG developed by OmniaDev Inc., which was released in Early Access on Steam on May 17, 2024. You can also play the free-to-play title via Google Play or the App Store. For the Steam release, the developers switched engines from HTML5 to Godot.
Kaetram takes you into a medieval world where quests, treasures, and challenges await you. You can equip your hero with gear and determine through your clothing choice whether you are more of a knight, mage, or archer.
The trailer for the beta launch of Kaetram:
There are boss fights that you can approach as a group or solo, as well as PvP skirmishes between players. In addition to offensive and defensive skills, you can also master abilities for alchemy, mining, fishing, and more.
Where does the Terraria comparison come from? The action-packed adventure from Re-Logic is one of the highest-rated games on Steam, with 97 percent positive reviews . Kaetram still has a long way to go. However, the 2D pixel look and the explorative underground world already provide some déjà vu.
“I was hooked immediately”
How does the community rate the game? So far, not too many reviews have come in for Kaetram, but 76 percent are positive – enough for a “Mostly Positive” rating.
- Levy writes: “I have been playing this game for a few months and I was hooked immediately. The biggest plus of this game is the way the development team interacts with the community and releases updates. Player suggestions are taken very seriously, some are implemented within days, and bugs are almost immediately fixed when reported.”
- TSMSB | JustaMirage adds: “I was drawn to the expansive world and just wanted to explore what the game had to offer. I stayed because of the community and the support for the game. Everyone is always ready to help, and the bug fixes come super quickly from the active developers. Many quests, hidden paths and caves, abilities, and bosses. A lot of potential, I recommend jumping in early!”
Some players, however, complain about issues in the tutorial, which prevented them from reaching the actual game. This clearly shows that the Early Access version is not just a marketing stunt, but that the developers still have a lot of work ahead of them. If that bothers you, just make Terraria 30 times harder – like this YouTuber.
