Nuclear Throne proves to be an enjoyable and devilishly challenging roguelike shooter that no fans of the genre will want to miss out on, even if it does tend to become more frustrating if you add in a second player.
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."
