What is Nuclear Throne?

Nuclear Throne is a top-down shooter roguelike video game developed by Vlambeer. Players take control of mutants with powerful abilities as they fight through post-apocalyptic worlds filled with enemies and radiation. The goal is to collect as much radiation as possible in order to mutate the mutants into more powerful forms.

Gameplay involves exploring procedurally generated levels, defeating enemies, and collecting radiation and weapon pickups. As mutants take radiation damage, they build up a mutation bar which allows them to mutate into more powerful mutants with new abilities. Weapons include pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, explosives and more, each with unique gameplay mechanics.

The levels are fast-paced and chaotic, with many enemies attacking at once. The gameplay puts an emphasis on quick reflexes and skill. As players progress further in a run, the game becomes more difficult. The mutants will ultimately face off against the Nuclear Throne, which ends the game upon victory or defeat.

Nuclear Throne includes both single player and local cooperative multiplayer modes. The game features vibrant pixel art, effects and music that Reviewers praised as stylish and well-executed. As a roguelike, death in Nuclear Throne is permanent per run, adding high challenge and replayability.
