Gamigo is one of the most important publisher of massively multiplayer online games in Europe, and has today announced that its free-to-play Steampunk-MMORPG NeoSteam is now in open beta, so that anyone can join the epic battle between the mystical Elerd Kingdom and the technophile Republic of Rogwel. You can immediately register at http://neosteam.gamigo.com/ in order to download the game and to begin your adventure right away.

MMOHut, "Steampunk is an often neglected subgenre. Mixing elements of fantasy and sci-fi to create a world where both swords and Gatling guns can co-exist is no easy task. Maybe that's why so few free to play MMORPGs have experimented with a Steampunk setting..."

Recently, Massively had the opportunity to sit down with Jeffrey Hong, marketing coordinator for Atlus Online and Neo Steam. It's been awhile since they were able to talk one-on-one with the steampunk MMO developer, so they decided to ask a few questions about the game's current progression, the often-overlooked deep lore and the recent addition of 100 new games to Atlus Online's portal.

MMORPG has updated their NeoSteam gallery with a whopping 28 new screenshots! Check them all out.
