Of course, you’ll find your favorites but experimenting with each not only proves great fun but also could open your eyes to a new ability that works even better for you. Melting meanwhile starts with a fraction of the health of everyone else (in fact so little nearly everything will kill you in a single hit) but also receives more rads (experience) resulting in faster leveling up. Take Fish for example who not only starts with and receives more ammo from pick-ups than other characters but can also perform a rolling dodge.
While you’ll only start out with two mutants to play as, you eventually expand your crew as you get further through the game, each new addition bringing their own perks and abilities. Clearing out everything in your path leaves you little time to celebrate before getting thrown into the next battlefield.
There’s little downtime, the game doing an excellent job at always keeping you on your toes. Everything feels extremely sharp and snappy whether it’s the movement of your character, the aiming, and shooting or even just the length of the levels themselves. Not until you’ve done the latter task will you be granted access to the next randomly generated stage via a spawning black hole where you’ll then repeat this same process again and again. You’ll spend your time in each level running around searching for better weapons, extra ammo, rads (more of that in a moment) and killing anything in sight. Nuclear Throne is essentially a twin-stick shooter played from a top-down perspective all wrapped in a roguelike skin.

After a very brief tutorial – one that covers the absolute basics of movement and shooting – you’re out into the wastelands shooting and swinging your way through a series of randomly generated levels each filled with enemies aplenty. You play as a mutant, your aim being to claim the Nuclear Throne and… well, that’s pretty much all there is to it. It’s no-nonsense approach to throwing you right into the heart of the action – action that rarely gives you a moment to rest I might add – results in a roguelike that not only leaves a great first impression but also manages to maintain that exciting, edge-of-your-seat feeling even a hundred runs deep.Įven the story (if you can call it that) just gets straight to the point. Nuclear Throne is a game that doesn’t mess around instead choosing to cut right to the chase.
