Are you a fan of MMORPG games, but prefer playing alone rather than with others? If so, a new game called Erenshor might be just what you’re looking for.

Erenshor some info

Erenshor is a single-player game, which is significant because it’s developed by the independent one-person studio Burgee Media, mimicking an MMORPG environment. The game world teems with hundreds of NPCs, or SimPlayers, who behave like real players. These characters continue to exist and evolve independently, always prepared to join our party.

In the style of an MMORPG-inspired game, Erenshor allows players to select a character class and immerse themselves in a vast, open world. Here, you could potentially invest “multiple tens or even hundreds” of hours honing your character and discovering thousands of distinct items. The game also features aspects such as guilds, raids, dungeons, and chat. Additionally, it’s possible to effortlessly engage and loot equipment from NPCs, an action that influences the dynamics among factions.

In Erenshor, the battle system shares a resemblance to that found in the fundamental version of World of Warcraft. Here, you’ll find yourself delivering attacks autonomously while stationary, with the added ability to select abilities. The developers have openly acknowledged that when designing Erenshor, they took inspiration from timeless role-playing games from the late 90s and early 2000s within this genre.

Erenshor – players reception

Initially, one might find the title puzzling, but the truth is far from that. The game titled “Erenshor” was launched on Steam’s early access platform yesterday, and at its peak, a staggering 1096 players were enjoying it concurrently (according to SteamDB). This number is quite impressive for this genre of game.

As I compose this piece, it is worth noting that the game currently boasts 142 reviews, with an impressive 94% of them expressing satisfaction. Players find delight in Erenshor’s recreation of the immersive atmosphere found in classic MMO games. Simultaneously, solo players appreciate the freedom to enjoy the game at their leisure without any external pressure.

Erenshor can currently be played exclusively on personal computers. The developers anticipate that the early access phase will last approximately 18 months. As of now, you can buy it on Steam for $17.99 (with a limited-time discount). Additionally, a free trial version is also accessible.
