We've spoken about Neo Steam a few times now as the upcoming steampunk MMO being re-engineered for English speaking audiences by Atlus Online, the new division of Atlus Games. What we haven't mentioned, however, is that there will be two versions of Neo Steam for English audiences -- the Atlus American version and Gamigo's European version.
Gamigo has recently thrown open the doors on their open beta test for Neo Steam, letting all interested parties enter the battle between Rogwel and Elerd. For the sake of not confusing the two games, Gamigo has subtitled their version "Steam Wars Begin" while Atlus has dubbed their version, "Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent," as we have reported on before.
So if you're itching to see what exactly Atlus is working on, you can jump over to Gamigo to sign up for a free account and check out the game. We're excited to see what exactly Atlus is adding to Neo Steam, as they've said before that their localization is going beyond just a short translation and name changes

Is the European one anything like the Atlus version? I don't want to try it if it's not the same. X.X

I am almost positive the European is IP blocked so no one outside Europe can connect. Although you can use a proxy to connect it's probably just better to wait for the North American release.
Just trying to save you from the big download.
Akuma it is the same version as the Atlus one.

Actually, it's very different from Gamigo's. I can't really say more than that. If you were lucky enough to get into the golden ticket beta, you will be able to see then :) If not, they will open their doors to an open beta soon
