A new fantasy RPG has just been dropped entirely for free on Steam, and you may want to check it out, especially with its positive reviews. It’s quite common to encounter free titles to play on the platform, but you may often need to filter the games to find ones you enjoy. For example, there are four free games on Steam to keep forever, and you can claim them right now, but you may want to see which ones better fit your preferred playstyle.
RPGs tend to be one of the most popular genres, and fans may be delighted to know that a new game has just been released, and it’s entirely free-to-play. Officially released on June 4 on Steam, after an Early Access period, the RPG can be claimed for free via its product page. Once this is done, the game will join your library permanently, and you can download it at any given moment when you decide to play it.
The free new RPG on Steam is called Eterspire. The game, developed and published by Stonehollow Workshop, is described as a cozy, old-school MMORPG. In it, you’ll explore the world of Aetera with your fully custom-made character, going through quests and grinding for gear, just like the older MMOs. Fans of games like Ragnarok Online, for example, may find a new home in Eterspire, though with a 3D approach.
There is also a heavy investment in character customization in this RPG, as you’ll be able to use a crafting system to create transmogs for your gear. The game promises to have “real progression,” meaning that there are no paid ways of improving; you’ll have to play through the journey to level up and get better gear. Apart from the regular progression system you’ll follow via quests in Eterspire, you can also enjoy co-op PvE Trials.
One of the big things about Eterspire is that the developers promise that there will be new playable content every two weeks. The size of each update has yet to be seen, but it does seem like a promise to keep the game active and alive. While the game has been released on Steam, it is also available on mobile, and there is crossplay and cross-progression between both platforms. The game also fully supports controllers, should you prefer to play it with a gamepad.
The game boasts a 77% approval rate from players, which indicates it still has space to improve, but it has satisfied most players. If you’re slightly interested in this new RPG on Steam, I recommend at least checking it out – at the very least, keeping Eterspire in your library and playing it later will give you access to a load of content.
