Description
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. Fight your way through the wastelands with powerful weaponry, collecting radiation to mutate some new limbs and abilities. All these things and more you could do if only you were good at this game. Can you reach the Nuclear Throne?
  • Pick from 12 playable characters including a mutant fish, the triangular yung venuz or a headless chicken.
  • Battle to the throne through seven playable main worlds and procedurally generated levels. Discover a huge amount of secret worlds and challenges.
  • Mutate your character in almost 30 different ways using radioactive waste around the world and get inventive in your combat strategies.
  • Use a range of over 100 weapons, from the familiar machine-gun and shotgun to the slightly alternative screwdriver and quintuple-barreled rocketlaucher.
  • It’s dangerous to go it alone - get together with a friend and battle your way to the Nuclear Throne with local co-op.
  • Art by Super Crate Box's Paul "Pietepiet" Veer, music by LUFTRAUSERS' Jukio "KOZILEK" Kallio and SFX by Downwell's Joonas Turner. Concept art by Nuclear Throne's Justin Chan.

Amazing game, totally recommended.

This is one of those games that lasts for minutes but seems to be incredibly deep. It's a great example of perfect mechanics, balancing, music and style. I've played this for hours and I still can't get enough of it. It avoids so many common tropes and shows that you don't need to follow terrible skinner-box trends to be addictive and fun.

Thanks Vlambeer !!!

Just wanted to address my biggest THANKS !!! to Vlambeer, thanks for having synthetised and put in one game all the things that make me love playing video games since i'm 6y old. I think Nuclear Throne is just so damn much the best action game ever. Thanks. Thanks for the magic. Thanks for the music. Thanks for making me believe again in the future of the whole video game culture. You guys truly deserve medals and i'm not kidding. I'll review it and recommend it with the greatest pleasure on my youtube channel, and even my girlfriend loves it. Keep doing magic. Thanks.

Perfect

Do yourself a favor and get the "Nuclear Throne Together" mod by YellowAfterLife. The music is great. Each character is well-balanced and encourages different strategy. There are numerous community-made mods such "hardmode." This game is HARD, but after a couple hundred hours, I improved a lot. It would be nice to be able to play the game at 60 fps, but that's not really a problem.
