Are there any games on steam like Astonishing Sowrdsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea? I'm looking for a game with that setting and plays like an isometric rpg.

Two suggestions come to mind, though neither is a very close fit.
An isometric RPG set in a steampunk/magic setting, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura is old (2001) but good, and on Steam for cheap ($5.99). Difficult with robust game mechanics and the story was interesting from what I played. I also vaguely remember needing third party mods and patches as the base game had some pretty severe bugs that were never fixed.
Kenshi ($29.99 on Steam) describes itself as a "free-roaming squad based RPG, focusing on open-ended sandbox gameplay features rather than a linear story." I hear that it is difficult and grindy, but have not played it myself, though the setting seems to be similarly unpleasant when compared to AS&SoH.
i saw sseth's videos on those games, seem too autistic
When I have some time I'll check them out. Thanks for the suggestions.
Dark Sun? Not totally Isometric, but reasonably close. And the Dark Sun setting was clearly influenced by the Conan and Hyperborea setting.

Also should be on GOG.
Not a similar setting per say, but I'd also mention the Avernum games, with some light emphasis on the originals over the remakes. The remakes while better written, also had somewhat "updated" and streamlined gameplay mechanics, which at least to me were not as fun as the original.
Not sure I remember exactly where I got the original 3 Avernum games though. They're no longer sold in most locations, and were instead overridden by the developer with his remakes.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out sometime.
You mean set in that world, and an isometric RPG? Don't know the world, but there are isometric RPGs set in their own world with a kind of retro look and feel, if that also matters.
If a game came out like AS&SoH that wasn't woke, I bet it would sell pretty good. It's definitely different than the isometric RPGs out, and not in a different and crappy just to be different kind of way.
