Pros
-decent graphics -interesting plot -lots to discover -4 diffrent characters to play, truly unique to their gameplay and survival tactics -great replayability -generaly a very well developed freeware game, that needs brains to survive in
Cons
-no way to continue a file when you win but to reload -some characters are much more challenging than others, taking away from the possiblity of playing with any character from the start -some character highly overpowered, making game too easy
Summary
in this game you crash land on an alien planet, named "notrium". the plot depends on which character you choose, but each has unique motivations to survive and or destroy. play as an alien and devote yourself to destroying everything, or play as a human and try everything to get off the planet. the game has a nice soundtrack, however it will get old after several hours. the game has a small-ish world, but it does have lots of places to go. it has multiple dificultys so you can have a more challenging game if your a more experienced player. when i replay the game i find new things every time i do. when playing you need to use strategy and cunning to survive, as well as master all things about running fast, or shooting hard! this game is very entertaining and i would highly recomend it to anyone who wants a unique and fun game to have on their computer, without needing to go and pay for a very expensive game in a store. good luck!
Brainless but great shoot-em-up!

Developer’s Description

By Ville Monkkonen

Use your wits to survive on a hostile alien planet.

Notrium is a real-time, single-player survival game. To survive you must find edible food, build up your base, create weapons and bullets, and fight all sorts of enemies ranging from robots to alien queens. You have a vast randomly generated planet to explore, and there are multiple paths to victory. Version 1.33 features some minor bug fixes. Additional features are fixed capping of maximum push speed, crash: dying while combining an item. The fires made by the player no longer vanish after a time. If the player has no weapon equipped, the game will no longer display: "No weapon". Notrium will now remember the last mod you selected. Erroneous detection of enemy collisions with melee creatures and collision detection issue of creatures pushing each other stuck in walls are also fixed. Also crash on quick saving right after loading a game.
