Ranging from 2 dimensional side-scrolling affairs like Rogue Legacy, to isometric dungeon crawlers like The Binding of Issac, these games all have key traits in common. Each of the offer procedural generated environments and loot, where the player faces has one life to face against a newly formed dungeon, each and every time they play the game. Nuclear throne is no different in this regard, but manages to differentiate itself with some truly spectacular, bullet-hell like, twin-stick gameplay."
In this ongoing article, Rogueliker will aim to collect together a selection of the best roguelite and roguelike games on PC and console.
“Nuclear Throne is one of those games that appeals to a very specific group of old-school gamers and those who love it, will love it a lot.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Paul writes: "If you like a roguelike, this is an easy sell, but as Nuclear Throne eases you in gently, it’s also a damn good entry point if you want to try your luck with the genre for the first time. The graphical style won’t appeal to everyone, but the gameplay is the star here, and even if it is punishingly hard in the latter moments you’ll be having too much fun to care."
