Embers of the Gods: Free MMORPG on Steam Has 79% Rating but Only 121 Players

A new free-to-play MMORPG called Embers of the Gods launched on Steam on May 15, 2026, with no marketing campaign. The game has received a 79% positive user rating from 117 reviews, but its peak concurrent player count on launch day was only 121.

Players choose from three classes

Players choose from three classes: Warrior, Ranger, and Mage. The game runs on the Unity Engine. Some community members have alleged that the game uses fake AI-generated screenshots and is of mobile-to-PC port quality. One Steam user described the game as "mobile trash."

The game is available globally on Steam as a free-to-play title.

The low concurrent player count relative to the number of reviews has raised questions about possible review manipulation. SteamDB data shows a peak of just 121 concurrent players on launch day. The game has been described by some as an asset package project.
