I wish I made the game EVEN harder so no one could ever finish it... Wut do you mean it's fully moddable? What do mean they modded out all my content first chance they got? Motha f*cking ungrateful kids!!!

Notrium is a game I played extensively 12 years ago. I played it for hours as a kid because it was quick fun, had exploration and crafting and a vibrant community with extensive mod support. I taught me the basics of modding which later got me interested in programing. The game is still as fun as I remember, but the community is quite gone -- which is where Steam comes in. I can only imagine what kind of mods steam...

A hidden gem of the early indie game scene, Notrium has finally come to Steam. This game was doing survival in a hostile world long before Minecraft popularized the genre. Crafting, alien landscapes, multiple playable races, solid modding community, the works. An incredible game, more so for the time it was released, it still holds up today. For the incredibly low asking price, this game is highly recommended.

Notrium is a survival game from a time when survival games wern't really a thing. You get multiple difficulties, multiple races(Each race has its own playstyle) and multiple ways to go about your survival adventure each time you play. It's been many years since I've put a lot of time into this game so it's difficult for me to break down each element in the review but I'm sure someone else will do that later. I...

This classic game is definitely worth playing to any survival game enthusiast. In fact, when it comes to futuristic survival games, this one is a pioneer. It covers multiple races with distinct gameplay strategies, crafting, a nicely written back-story and loads of aliens to kill... or be killed by. It's also moddable to the point enabling the creation of expansions to the original game, or just something completely...

Notrium. I don't have words for this game. Probably one of my most favoured games of all time, I can't believe it's on Steam! I dropped the $1.99 in about a second! Notrium is a survival game. You play as one of 4 characters from a crew that crashlands on an alien planet. Your goal is to survive, be it that you find a way offworld, or take presedence over the locals and become ze' ubermanche. There is the Human,...

Notrium is, quite possibly, one of, if not the first modern survival game. It predates every other game in the genre that I know by a few years. Everything is here: You've got to eat, keep warm, or keep cool. You have to explore, and find resources to craft things with. The environment is hostile. There are different biomes with different challenges. Notrium does everything Don't Starve, The Forest, Subnautica etc....

Notrium is a top down survival game that was originally freeware (you can find the free version HERE. The developer Ville Mönkkönen re released this commercial version back in 2015 as a special edition on Steam. I played the original Notrium for months when I first got a copy of the freeware version. I loved the variety of environments you could explore with Notrium and the challenge of surviving by...

Notrium is a game that's very dear to me. The very first version of it I played was 1.2, which I got off a CD that came with a gaming magazine back in 2004. I had no idea what I was doing, but it captivated me so much that I spent quite a few sleepless nights playing through it and figuring things out as I went (I still didn't have internet at that point so I was pretty much on my own). I won't claim that Notrium is...
