About the game

Nuclear Throne is a post-apocalyptic roguelike-like top-down shooter. Not 'the final hope of humanity' post-apocalyptic, but 'humanity is extinct and mutants and monsters now roam the world' post-apocalyptic. Can you reach the Nuclear Throne?

    It's a classic for a reason, it's difficult, but whenever I die I feel inclined to fall victim to the "just one more run" disease. Easily one of the rogue-likes greats even over ten years later, heavily recommend to those who haven't died to a teleporting yellow crystal.

    I usually put a lot of thought into my reviews so I can capture the nuance of the game but the cool thing about Nuclear Throne is that it's simply good. You get exactly what you're shown, no wasting your time. I don't know what else to add, it does what it sets out to do perfectly.

    its simply too hard makes it very unenjoyable there should be iframes, good game if it didnt take 30 runs to even get close to the end game i also hate the fact that some levels make it so you cant see half your screen bad design. The only time you have fun is when you get a run with good rng, multiple times im halfway through the run and at the snow part theres a straight path into every enemy right next to each…
