A new medieval MMORPG is launching on Steam today, leaving Early Access after over 6 years and focusing on realistic combat. You can watch the launch trailer for the game on MeinMMO.
What kind of game is this? Gloria Victis is a medieval MMORPG on Steam that was released in Early Access in 2016. Today, on February 7th, the title celebrates its full release. In line with this, there is a launch trailer showcasing medieval PvP sword fights and explaining the game mechanics.
What is the gameplay of Gloria Victis? The MMORPG focuses on PvP and emphasizes realistic combat, whether with melee weapons like swords or ranged weapons like bows and arrows.
These weapons must be crafted by blacksmiths or looted from defeated players due to the game’s realistic approach. Accordingly, there are various crafting professions. Collecting resources and crafting items therefore plays a significant role.
Since realism is at the forefront, Gloria Victis eschews magic or supernatural creatures. Instead, the besieging and conquering of castles is a core element.
Additionally, there are no fixed classes in Gloria Victis. Your character is defined by your selection of the items and skills you use.
What does the trailer show? The launch trailer for Gloria Victis showcases different areas of the game, such as siege battles and 1v1 sword fights.
We also see various training grounds to improve your combat skills, the emblem editor, and a type of boss battle against an elephant.
What is the status of the MMORPG? The ratings for Gloria Victis on Steam are mostly positive at 71%. A total of 5,458 players have reviewed the game (as of February 7, 2023).
However, the community of the MMORPG is relatively small. In January 2023, Gloria Victis had an average of 286 players (via SteamCharts). It remains to be seen how much the 1.0 release will grow the player counts.
Recently, another medieval MMORPG, Reign of Guilds, offered a playtest that ends today, February 7th. The game features a karma system that crowns you a “Saint” if you eliminate enough evil players.
