Gladiators, strap on those sandals! Atlus Online’s fantasy-steampunk massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent, revealed two new and enthralling maps to the continuously updated game, Flame Basin and Colosseum. With additions and updates streaming in without fail, Atlus Online strives to please its community with innovative, fun content, expelling repetition and boredom from the minds of its members.“We have the most engaged online community out there, and we want to reward them for being such an integral part of our portal by continually adding to it,” says Alice Ly, Online Marketing and Portal Manager, Atlus U.S.A., Inc. “Coinciding with trends and contemporary sensitivities, we thought it would be appropriate to demonstrate the devastating effects of environmental irresponsibility through Flame Basin, and bring out the inner tough guy through Colosseum’s historically significant battleground.”
Environmentalists, prepare to throw down with the deviant Subject M-277, the big boss of Flame Basin. This formerly lush forest, at one time called Sylverland, is now a dry, charred landscape known as Flame Basin. Once a fiercely protected ecosystem, Sylverland was ravaged by the greed of the industrial boom, as loggers tore down one tree after another until the basin was a barren wasteland. Lurking in the center of Flame Basin, players will encounter the iniquitous boss, Subject M-277, an experiment of bioengineered creatures gone wrong. This ominous lot, once created to protect civilization, promptly turned on their creators and exists to further destroy the basin. Peril-seekers can also conduct their own small-scale cloning experiments, for a small fee, building their own monsters, piece by piece.
Gladiators should suit up, and the faint of heart need not apply to battle it out in Neo Steam’s Colosseum. At last, a chance for players to demonstrate their top-level skills in the most notoriously brutal arena known in history. Players will have to prove how long they can withstand the vigorous downpour of foes the Colosseum will bestow upon them. With no penalty for dying, the Colusseum offers the boundless opportunities for players to practice their combat skills against some of the most robust enemies Neo Steam has to offer. Players don’t have anything to lose, but their pride on the blood-stained Colusseum floor.
