    The controls are good, the art design is charming, but there is simply too much bs to make this a fun game. I f you dont mind spending the equivalent time you would spend on a sprawling rpg to complete a single run on this game, and enjoy bashing your head against a wall then by all means please buy this game.

    Challenging and addictive, prepare to die countless times and restart that same number of times plus one. Because you always want to try your luck again in the fight for the throne.

    Nuclear Throne is an absolute blast whether you’re kicking off your very first handful of runs or attempting your hundredth. The action is intense, the pace rapid and the difficulty tough but rewarding. We may be spoilt for choice when it comes to indie gems but Nuclear Throne is one you shouldn’t pass up on.

    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. Though the visuals and music are rather disappointing, the core gameplay of Nuclear Throne more than makes up for any deficiencies through its variety and feedback loops; it’s the kind of game that’s so easy to jump into, you just can’t refuse having ‘one more go’. If you’re a fan of Enter the Gungeon, roguelikes, or difficult games in general, Nuclear Throne is going to be right up your alley; we’d give this one a high recommendation.
