The New World looms on the horizon, on its shore the shining city of progress, and the last beacon of hope in your search for a cure to your family's fatal disease - New Arc. You arrive to this foreign land by steerage of a steamship, cramped with thousands of other immigrants, a stranger in a strange land, full of wonder. But you will soon discover that the city's beauty runs only skin-deep and all you find is rot beneath the golden facade.
Dark smoke from the factories chokes the skies, segregation, inequality, and corruption run rampant. You will have to rise from the very bottom, make tough decisions, and get your hands dirty if you are to succeed - and you must, no matter the cost!
Craft technopunk gear or master the arcane arts, fight, steal or smooth-talk your way to the top and become the hero or villain you want to be. You will not have to face the trials of this world alone, however; find your companions and gather your party, make foes and allies, fall in love, get involved in a massive conspiracy, and change the course of history forever.
Will you rise to the occasion?
Create your own character as a Human or Elf, choose your gender, background and appearance. Keep in mind that inhabitants of this world might have their own prejudices and will treat you differently depending on your choices.
You won’t be alone on these shores. Meet & recruit a diverse cast of characters, learn their stories, face their demons together and help them grow, or use them for your own gain and discard them as fits your schemes. Who knows, maybe you will even find your true love!
Will you master the secrets of Magic to incinerate enemies as a Hellfire occultist, curse them with mystical Voodoo abilities, or assist your allies as a Celestial sage? Or will you rather cast aside the obsolete ways and become a Steampunk mechanic, Dieselpunk engineer or Teslapunk scientist, and turn your character into a walking steam-powered fortress?
Command your party in turn-based tactical battles. Fight head-on and brute-force your way through encounters or observe and analyze each situation and come up with cunning strategies to conquer even seemingly overwhelming odds. There’s a plethora of skills, spells, crafting recipes and consumables at your disposal to turn the tide of battle in your favor.
Make a name for yourself, influence countless lives for better or worse, and watch the consequences of your choices unfold. You may start out as only a poor immigrant, but soon your exploits will fill the front pages of newspapers and the events you set in motion will change the fate of the New World forever.

Good Potential
Not much more than an extended demo as yet, only two classes out of (I assume) six, and the game ends just as youi've found your way to the capital. However, what there is is very good, atmospherically, mechanically and plotwise. I hope the devs can keep up this standard (and give us some more classes to try out).

great atmosphere
I bought the game even though my computer does not meet the minimum VGA requirement (Radeon RX 460 4GB). I lowered the graphics of the game so that the speed remained playable. Two classes are currently available at the start, this will increase later. I was struck by the steampunk atmosphere at the start of the game, and this was further enhanced in the second location. Lots of little details fill the scene, from the cleaning robot to the giant gears, but alongside the technology, magic also makes an appearance. Many more hours of play will follow the first few hours and I look forward to seeing what else the game expands on in the coming times.

A very good RPG
New Arc Line may be in early access right now but is shaping up to be a really nice rpg. I love the setting for the game world and it has some really nice ideas. Graphics, music and voice acting are good not AAA quality but they dont have to be. As this is in EA there are a number of features missing and some bugs here and there but there is a good base rpg in there and the technology v magic element is a great concept and feels a lot like Arcanum.

Steaming into the New World
Intereting game, plot and game mechanics are engaging. Will be interesting to see where the game goes as development continues.

Very much a WIP
So far, I'm enjoying my time with it, but can't act like it's perfect. The frame rate in the main city is ATROCIOUS - It could be my PC, I'm running a 1060super, but it's not good. Runs well enough indoors but still, you'll spend most of your time in town and that's annoying. Graphics are lovely, companions are eh, guns are great, they nailed the atmosphere, and the writing is decent enough. I can see this game becoming really good over time but it's not there yet. (Plus I've had a few crashes out of nowhere.)
