Impressions from 20 MMORPGs from Steam in August 2024

Let’s recap what we’ve played so far:

1. Legends Resurrected Online — 2/5 [It’s a typical 2D solo developer MMORPG except it does appear to be much more complete and designed with care. I was banned for having an offensive nickname though, so not enough time to properly review. Spanish language only.]
2. Legendary Road Online — 1/5 [It’s just JOYMAX’s Silkroad Online in private server form. This series is looking for unique MMORPGs. I gave it a 1 merely for being an MMORPG that worked. If you want an SRO private server, feel free to check it out.]
3. Citywars Savage — 0/5 [It is free and is a playable tower defense game at least]
4. Hazordhu — 0/5 [It has a playable sandbox mode still.]
5. Spellfarers — 0/5 [It is a recent release so issues logging in could be fixed.]
6. Dream back — 0/5 [Abandoned and offline but at least free.]
7. Retro RPG Online 2–0/5 [Abandoned and offline but at least less expensive than Nestalgia.]
8. Nestalgia — 0/5 [Abandoned, offline, and still $9.99 on Steam.]
