    I bought this game after hearing some good things about it. Generally I love retro-style and pixelized games, but the graphics in this one lack any kind of charm... just too rough for my taste.

    The gameplay is fun and very challenging, which is good. I enjoy playing a few runs of this rogue-like when I don't have enough time to play a longer game.

    Overall a decent game a bit too rough around the edges.    … Expand

    A frantic roguelike that looks, sounds and feels fantastic. An essential addition to the genre. [Feb 2016, p.82]

    Cruel and unforgiving yet wonderfully satisfying when it comes together, Nuclear Throne is an accomplished roguelike capable of challenging even the most skilled players. [Issue#266, p.72]

    Nuclear Throne's hook is disarmingly simple but blisteringly effective. In short, it gets a move on. [Feb 2016, p.112]
