Post Instant Kingdom Games

Notrium

Introduction

You have crash-landed on planet Notrium. Your food supplies are running low, a pack of predatory aliens have got your scent. There are no more bullets for your pistol, your only weapon a handful of rocks. The night is coming, and you are desperately looking for wood to make a fire. Notrium is a game of survival. Originally released in 2003.

Survival, Exploration and Action

An integral part of the game is finding enough food and supplies to survive through the cold, dark nights.
Exploring the alien ruins and bases you can find various items, which can be combined to make weapons and equipment.
Most of Notrium’s inhabitants are not happy to see you. You can try getting past your enemies quietly, but often you will need either fast legs or a sharp aim.
Player Characters

The Human is weak, relying on weapons and items for survival.
The Android is very strong, but can only heal himself with repair units.
The Alien gains fearsome hunting skills through evolving.
The Psionic has unique mental powers, but cannot carry anything.

Moddable
Notrium is a very moddable game. Several high quality mods are available. Join our modding community to make a mod yourself, or help others.

They also have 4 older games:

Magebane 2 is a single player strategic roleplaying game where you command three monks on a quest to recover the holy Amulet of Yendor. Each monk masters a different school of magic, and you must find a balance in upgrading your skills in order to defeat your numerous enemies. Also, you can find various items to enhance your abilities.

Image
Wazzal is a single player space privateering game. The game starts when you capture a ship to become an interplanetary pirate. The idea is to fly your ships in our solar system and accomplish missions while gathering a fleet of ships to fight even more dangerous enemies.


In Bikez 2 you are a mercenary biker in a near future dark city. The local criminal faction, Bikez, has just signed a contract with you about completing a series of missions including a whole lot of killing and blood. Complete increasingly more difficult missions while gathering money to upgrade your four fully customizable weapons.


And The Forge is a gladiator fight game. Your job is to manage your gladiator from crummy division three to the final point of winning the famed division one. Each won fight earns you money to better equip your gladiator to fight even bigger foes.

I've played both notrium and wazzal. They are both high quality games, not in the graphical aspect, but the gameplay is solid. Especialy in Notrium. BUT, you'll need a lot of pacience because rambo'ing won't work. Altough some classes are really a lot easier to handle then others. The robot and human for example, while the alien and psionic are a lot harder.(probably get easier later on.)

tl;dr
Good games but if you couldn't take the time to read that, you really won't like them.

Notrium is SOLID. I dunno how many hours I spent on that, but it was a lot. The best survival game I've played, and very fun at that.

I love you man.
The survival game is really nice, although it took me a while to work out that B is break apart, so I could break up the psionics tags.
I've done nothing of note so far in it, but it's still fun... one-shotting the Queens with Psionic Blast.

Trying out the in-production RPG. Pretty nice so far.

I've been playing Notrium since it came out. Amazing game, it's a game that actually feels like a struggle for survival.
