  • Summary: Etrom is a project that brings gamers an immersive, dark future world where warring societies are divided not just by walls, but by laws, secrets, religions and the terrifying Void Lands. In a world with fantastic technologies, the people find their future in ancient civilizations governed by mysterious hidden energies. Etrom is an epic adventure that takes you across realms and cities, through democracies and "nazi" dictatorships. It is a journey through space-time portals, amongst the Thrones of the Abyss, and beyond the gates of the City of Light. With a huge number of locations, and settings it plunges the player into a world of rituals, fraught with secret-service plots and held together by dark spells. [PM Studios]… Expand

    I was actually really looking forward to playing this game because it has a really interesting setting. BUT, the oddly told narrative, the constantly looping, uncreative music, and the repetitive, boring combat forced me to abandon this game. I really wanted to continue on to find out more about the setting and the story, but it was just all to much for me to bear.… Expand
