The world is a wasteland, with some of the mutations and creatures as clear indications that atomic weapons were deployed and devastated the entire world, creating anomalies that STALKER would not be ashamed of. Nuclear Throne is a rogue-like, and there's little in the way of a classic narrative that the development team offers to the player, although a lot more can be gleaned from the levels, the enemies and even the weapons by those who want to create their stories. Vlambeer is offering the title only on the PC and the game has long been in Early Access, which means that there's a lot of content to experience, and all the core mechanics are very well polished.

The game is a mash-up of influences and core mechanics that work despite the fact that they initially seem overwhelming and difficult to understand.ĭeath is never conquered in Nuclear Throne, but the player will slowly learn, through repetition and luck, how to make more progress, gain more weapons, improve his characters and deal with normal enemies and powerful bosses. The onslaught continued for about one hour, time during which I died at the hands of a lot of enemies, including lowly rats and maggots, but I also learned a lot about the world I was exploring and the best way to stay alive and kill my opponents.

Nuclear Throne first killed me in less than two minutes, when I was unable to dodge the salvo of a scorpion-like creature and I was then touched inappropriately by a worm that reminded me a lot of Frank Herbert's Dune.
