New survival MMO Myth of Empires starts successfully in Early Access on Steam, attracting tens of thousands
The survival game Myth of Empires launched a week ago on Steam and today saw an all-time peak of over 36,000 players. We summarize for you what the Steam reviews say about the game.
What is Myth of Empires? It is an open world game for PC, which is aimed primarily at fans of sandbox survival games such as ARK or Conan Exiles. The combat system, on the other hand, with its strategic approach is more reminiscent of hardcore games like Mordhau and Mount & Blade.
As soon as you create your character, you end up in an Asian country that is based on ancient China. According to the developers, the setting should be “realistic and historical” with only a few fantasy elements.
The following features are waiting for you in the game:
- Both PvE and PvP modes
- Great sieges
- free development of the areas with settlements and fortresses
- NPC companions who support you in battle
- Extensive crafting system
You start with your character in any area and go straight to the first tasks. The tasks introduce you to the game and introduce you to the different systems so that you can slowly get used to the gameplay.
A week ago, Myth of Empires launched on Steam in Early Access and has already attracted tens of thousands of players.

I can only recommend the game. Is a mixture of Conan Exiles, Bannerlord, NW Commander Battle and Asia. I have hardly searched for a game so hard in such a short time. […]

A very good game so far, although in Early Access. Developers are constantly working on the game and there are a lot of updates – mostly at midnight! If you like games like Conan Exiles, Rust or Ark, you will certainly have a lot of fun here.

In the negative reviews, on the other hand, the players criticized the bugs and the lack of polish. The many confusing and confusing menus and skill trees that are supposed to overload the gameplay were given as an example. The grind was also noted as negative as it is said to be very cumbersome and not feel rewarding.
The user Aramis wrote in his review:
I tried to like the game. The graphics are pretty, even if it’s mostly drab. […] Right now the game is an unprecedented grind hell. The menus and texts are jumbled and confusing. And on top of that, it’s a Chinese game with a terrible translation. […] Many quests are either incomplete or the description is so poor that they cannot be solved. […]
I think after three or four years of work the game could become playable and fun. Not so much at the moment. I would wait.
Nevertheless, the positive votes are currently in the majority and the number of players seems to continue to grow.
How can I participate? If you’re interested in Myth of Empires, you can take part in Early Access by buying the game for € 24.99 (€ 22.49 discount).
