Finally got to the throne with just one character.

I plan on doing more runs with different characters even knowing i am going to lose my sanity.

Really fun gameplay that makes you stick to your controller and try hard to beat the game and avoid getiing blown up by a exploding car (or lil hunter falling on your head)

It would have been lovely to get some more content, but it is worth every cent!

The introduction of Early Access Games was a neat development in the game industry, as a direct counterattack to the industry's love affair with never admitting anything is happening in their games until they have to either apologize or promote something new. Nuclear Throne introduced to me a brand new downside: The Desire They'd Stop Working On The Game, It's Fine The Way It Is. There's a Nuclear Throne that exists a few versions before launch that I would kill to get back, because the thing it is now cares too much about the interstitial and not just hitting the button to fuckin deploy the asskicking. In many ways, this is the story of Vlambeer: violent action that couldn't get out of their own fuckin way. Seeing their blueprints aped so poorly is worse, but not an unfamiliar bummer for anyone who likes The Jesus Lizard and then hears 90% of noise rock bands.

A fun and frantic roguelike. Simple but effective. Perhaps a bit frustrating because you can die unexpectedly all the time, but since it's so fast-paced, you still feel like playing another round. However, it does end up being repetitive.

had fun with it but idk this fast paced style just isn't for me


a game that is just actually fun and exciting to play. the roguelite elements are good

this says a lot about our society

Fast paced rogue-like and one of the og’s in the genre. For a time I was addicted to this game, quick jump in jump out gameplay. It is difficult.

the king of roguelike, ain't nobody doin it better than nuclear throne baby

its peak but i couldnt really get into it until i played the 60fps beta. i reccomend turning on the "beta64" beta branch and setting the settings to 60fps, it improves the excperience tenfold
the game will make other roguelikes feel too slow forever

It's alright, I wish I enjoyed it as much as a lot of other people do. I have less than ten hours in this and don't feel much incentive to keep coming back to it.
I found the difficulty to be off-puttingly frustrating rather than engrossing and replaying the first stage over and over again with the same enemies and same three guns got stale pretty fast for me. That being said, the combat feels shockingly good and melee weapons are immensely satisfying.
Might just not be my thing but I could see myself going for a run every once in awhile or trying some other roguelikes in the future.

It's ok. Like the gameplay loop, but it's mad difficult, unfairly so at times. Even more if lacking certain mutations by certain times. Some rooms feel impossible without a dodge. Not enough here to keep me wanting to try for a W tbh.

Nuclear Throne no es solo un juego, es una marca vital mia que ha ido poco a poco. Anaitgames, los streams de Pep Sanchez, jugar poco a poco la 1º vez que rebajo en Steam y jugar poco a poco gustándome ese feeling que tiene. Esa dificultad enrabiada que mueres a la mínima, que todo es peligroso.
Porque alcanzar el Trono Nuclear no es un paseo fácil, es de sufrimiento, mucho sufrimiento. Aún recuerdo estar atascado en el boss del mundo 5, morir y morir. Pero, cuando acabe con ese boss, ir a las zonas sorprendido y llegar al trono muriendo sin saber como y flipar, sabia que no sería fácil llegar ahí.
Y no lo ha sido, pero llegue y cayo derrotado. La cosa es que estaba feliz, muy feliz por fin alcancé el trono, mi meta conseguida super feliz estaba (y sigo estando mientras escribo esto). Hasta que suena la canción de los créditos y sentí una felicidad rara, era feliz por fin había cumplido mi meta pero se unía y une una tristeza y un vacío, algo se va y es ese reto.
Nunca pensé que Nuclear Throne me haría llorar y hacerme sentir que lo importante no era el trono, sino el camino recorrido. Escuchar el podcast, ver los directos, charlar con mi amigo Soliz de los podcast y el juego, de jugar y caer en el pique comentando en foro droga del nexo, los audios mañaneros al Klay diciendo lo que llevaba y los vicios al juego, esos momentos de felicidad y alegría
Porque al final jugamos para que nos saquemos una sonrisa un día malo, para reflexionar, porque nos gusta y comentamos con nuestros amigos y gente muy cercana.
Como siempre me he ido por las ramas, pero no esperaba que Nuclear Throne y su canción final me tocasen tanto. Es y será, de mis juegos favoritos de siempre y algo que llevare en el corazón este viaje tan bonito.
Gracias Nuclear Throne.

Divertido, visceral, repleto de secretos, injusto y difícil.
El videojuego que me inspiró a dedicarme al medio, el arcade perfecto, y prácticamente una religión entre colegas.

It's probably due to me not playing much but every run felt pretty much the same, the same 3-4 guns 2 melee weapons and constantly the same few upgrades so I just gave up

300 horas metidas en este juego. Me ayudó a pasar muchas malas etapas de mi vida.

My personal favorite way to waste an afternoon

I can't believe i've been playing this since middle school. (i'm almost 23 years old now!)
It's STILL fun to boot up every couple months. Nails a fast-paced roguelike formula, every character does something completely different. It's the plants vs zombies of roguelikes (Imagine i pasted ascii art of a trollface here)

sad that rami ismali made this so i have to act like it sucks

Easily top 5 roguelikes of all time. Love how runs are only like 15 minutes long.

A chair emiting radiation must be kinda uncomfortable


mejor roguelite hasta la fecha en cuanto a frenesí y velocidad de partidas siendo divertido. Enter the gungeon si cada run durase 10min y no 50

wow Gungeon was an upgrade here. Charming roots but genuinely hard to see the screen. Way too jittery to be fast paced.

rite of passage to join my inner circle.
talk to me again when you play👆
