    Awesome indie! Fast pace rogue action and great characters and weapons. I didn't expect it to be that good but it certainly delivered. Must buy for me!

    I don't review many games, only if it's a particularly excellent one. This is one that deserves it. Very tough (and so rewarding), smooth gameplay and mechanics, nice art style, great music, lots of replayabiity, old school sensibilities with a new fluidity, varied characters that really make you play your playing style, amazing in 1 player and I can't wait to convince a few friends toI don't review many games, only if it's a particularly excellent one.

Man, just an excellent, excellent shooter.… Expand

    I think this is a great game with a bad graphic engine... screen shacking just make no sense (fortunately you can reduce it). Developers: please change it!!!!!

    Love this game, If you were hooked by Binding of Issac you should really like this game as well, Its harder but very addictive, You will die a lot, but hey still fun.

    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]
