Namakorium is the upcoming cooperative real-time strategy (RTS) game where players embark on a mission to revitalize the earth's oceans. Slated for an Early Access release on PC in January 2026, Namakorium introduces an innovative gameplay experience that highlights both team collaboration and strategic prowess.
Gameplay Overview
Taking charge of the 'sea cleaners,' these Namakos—essentially sea cucumbers left by humanity—players are tasked with the crucial mission of reclaiming the ocean. This unique approach employs a harmony of resource management and environmental restoration, all while navigating the unpredictable and action-packed backdrop of the ocean cleanup.
Players will utilize the distinct skills of various Namakos to gather resources, construct essential infrastructure, and purify the marine environment. Each Namako comes with specialized roles: the Shell Namako is adept at gathering limestone, Iron Namako excels in mining activities, while Flame and Ice Namako thrive in extreme temperatures. Success rests on strategic role assignments and cooperative gameplay to tackle each stage’s challenges.
Challenges and Ecosystem Revival
Progress is marked by the resurgence of coral reefs and the return of vibrant ocean life. More than forty types of scenic creatures populate the rejuvenated waters, providing a stunning backdrop as players advance. However, players must remain vigilant as challenges loom in the form of corrupted 'Blight Namakos,' dangerous adversaries capable of rotting food resources and stalling ocean recovery efforts. Only through teamwork and employing the Namako Fusion Cannon can these threats be effectively repelled.
