Nornium is a mecha-themed action role-playing game set in a future shaped by a curious blend of science and astrology. Its setting reaches the end of the 22nd century, where people also turn to feng shui, spiritualism and other traditions. The result is a cosmic adventure with an unusual cultural backdrop, rather than a conventional space-war premise.
Piloting a personal battleship, players can navigate freely through a solar system transformed by human civilisation. Combat combines action-RPG air battles with roguelike voyages, where players formulate strategies and select enhancements during exploration. The game also describes a time-and-space device, the “Coral Tree of Time,” for jumping between parallel worlds, alongside a contrasting option to enjoy a leisurely life in a presidential suite. That mix of piloting, combat, exploration and quieter interludes gives Nornium its distinctive design profile.
Its appeal lies in the contrast between machine-focused battles and roguelike decision-making, with a science-fiction setting that folds astrology and folk beliefs into its imagined future.
