Samsara Saga
Renewal Games · Renewal Games
An old-school-inspired indie MMORPG with hand-drawn 2.5D pixel-art sprites in a 3D Unreal Engine 5 world — a base Wanderer class branching into six jobs with deep skill trees, a rare monster-card collection system, dynamic day/night and weather, and a player-driven economy backed by a zero-pay-to-win pledge.

- ✗ Very early: no release date, no Steam page, and no formally announced studio

Best for
- Ragnarok Online nostalgics

Notes & links
In development by a small self-published indie team (code hosted under the GitHub org "Renewal Games"); public since mid-2023, with a community Discord running since 2022. PvE is the shown content today — guild-vs-guild, player housing, dungeons, and ascended classes are on the roadmap. Community creators frame it as a spiritual successor to Ragnarok Online, though the studio itself only pitches "old-school MMORPGs made with today's technology." No Steam page, confirmed platforms beyond PC (implied), or release date announced yet.
