In most rogue-likes, you expect to have lots of replayability through the different perks, generated levels, and weapons, but somehow Nuclear Throne makes the most out of what it has.
Everything about Nuclear Throne can be described as grimy and bold. All the different locations are shown as desolate wastelands and the enemies are all mutated creatures or raiders looking to kill you. Everything on the screen pops out and is easy to distinguish which is great when more chaos and explosions start to appear on screen. This art style also works well with the fast-paced gameplay. The sound design perfectly captures the feeling of this game. whether it's the hums of the wasteland or the adrenalin-rushing EDM, it all fits into what's on screen.
One of the main drawbacks of the game would be the lack of different random elements. Most of the time, the stages stay the same and the weapons you can get on each stage are limited, however, I think this is made up through the difficulty of the game and the experience you get from playing. Nuclear Throne is very strict when it comes to health drops or ammo, leaving you very fragile throughout your run. This leads to more times where you die before getting to the final stage, making each level feel intense and rewarding when you move on. Your experience also helps with different secrets that are scattered all across your playthrough giving you different weapons, new stages, and shortcuts to make it to the end faster. All of this manages to make each new tactic feel different and add to the identity of each run.
Even when the game kicks you when you're down, or you manage to get killed by an explosion you could never predict, Nuclear Throne manages to stand at the top of indie rogue-likes. The experiences felt in this game are something that most other games just don't satisfy and that's fine. Nuclear Throne is just a game that stands and will forever stand perfectly fine on its own.

crack in game form
okay i know i talk too much about overhead shooters but this rogue-like is my favorite of all time
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.
sad that rami ismali made this so i have to act like it sucks
Fun gameplay
Exceptionally well made arcade inspired game, one of the best roguelikes out there.

Nuclear Throne Together le da un respiro de vida muy distinto a todas las horas que jugue solo. Un juego más que curioso.
this says a lot about our society
Best rouge-like ever.
good ass
Got this as a gift from a friend. Really inspired and creative roguelike. Good devs.
It's endless fun to try to advance and beat the throne. Also if vanilla is too boring for you, it is possible to mod the game and play online multiplayer with Nuclear Throne Together
rite of passage to join my inner circle.
talk to me again when you play👆

In my opinion best Rogue Like game I have played and it's max extent besides getting Crown unlocks. Will miss Vlambeer so much.
never beat it but playing with my sister was an INSANELY good time
one of the few indie roguelikes that truly rises above the rest
Easily top 5 roguelikes of all time. Love how runs are only like 15 minutes long.

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

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!

i have a cobalt-60 radiation source in my fridge so, theoretically, i can become fish at any moment?
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.
Joder, este juego es la polla. Si este no es el mejor roguelike de por ahy (que no porque estan el ETG y el Issac), es uno de los mejores. Desde los graficos hasta el funcionamiento del juego te suma en una intensa accion que recompensa con un relajado ambiente lleno de cadaveres.
Yo soy un simple y usaba al cristal, como todo un pro gamer. Ademas, llege al loop 2, ojito.

Fun game but lack of variance between runs unlike with other roguelikes. Didn't feel any incentive to not go with the same mutations each time
a game that is just actually fun and exciting to play. the roguelite elements are good
esse jogo não tem defeitos e eu não estou exagerando.
mesmo sendo simples e possuindo menos conteúdo do que outros roguelikes possuem, esses fatos não arrastam o jogo pra baixo e na verdade acrescentam ao charme dele

My personal favorite way to waste an afternoon
300 horas metidas en este juego. Me ayudó a pasar muchas malas etapas de mi vida.
