RPG tier list 2026See the RPG tier list
No. 1 · Sep 4, 2026
Capcom's first new Onimusha in 20 years, loved by Steam players for its deliberate swordplay. Nominated for Console Game of the Year and Best Audio Design at the Golden Joysticks.
No. 2 · Oct 29, 2026
Over three million wishlists and martial arts combat built with Donnie Yen as consultant, but it only launches on October 29. It sits in B until players weigh in.
No. 3 · Sep 29, 2026
Near universal praise from Steam players, but it remasters a 2015 game, so it sits below the year's best new releases. Free for owners, with both expansions and a Nintendo Switch 2 version.
No. 1 · Oct 8, 2026
App Store players in Korea rate it highly, the best player score of any MMORPG this year. Kakao Games' folklore MMORPG has no fixed classes: you mix 12 skill styles. Korea only for now.
No. 2 · Jun 16, 2026
App Store players in the US rate Netmarble's sci-fi MMORPG highly, for faction battles, world boss raids, mechs and seven classes you swap through Biosuits.
No. 3 · Jun 4, 2026
Most Steam players like this indie MMORPG with crossplay between PC and mobile, the best Steam reception of any MMORPG in this list.

ReBlade: The Death Spiral Demo Impressions: Fast Combat and a Boss That Hooked Me
I played the ReBlade: The Death Spiral demo during Steam Next Fest. The combat is fast, the dodge is quick, the slow motion is a wow moment, and the boss Heluo kept me coming back.

ArcheAge Chronicles Demo Impressions: A Gorgeous World With a Slow Dodge
I played the ArcheAge Chronicles Steam Next Fest demo as a Mage, beat the Herald Knight and explored a world that looks better than most MMORPGs. The dodge felt slow.

I enjoyed Evilbane’s sword combat and enemy launching skills, but the tutorial and missions I tried on Easy offered little challenge. These impressions cover my early alpha playtest experience.

Stupid Never Dies Demo Impressions: Three Hours of Kicking and Stealing Powers
My three hours with the Stupid Never Dies demo brought fast dungeon combat, stolen monster abilities, and the fun of kicking enemies off ledges. I enjoyed the action but wanted more challenging enemies.
