AWESOMEoutof10's Darik Kirschman's been playing Vlambeer's latest game, Nuclear Throne, on Steam Early Access. He's grown an extra set of feet and an insatiable need for radioactive materials. "Make no mistake, Nuclear Throne is a weird game, wearing its whacked-out vibes on its sleeve. It’s unlike most other Vlambeer games in tone, yet the underlying idea of creating something simultaneously simple and complex, and Vlambeer’s impressive knowledge of how to hook a player and evoke a feeling of pure excitement, shine through its radioactive exterior."
Nuclear Throne is ten years old and to mark this milestone, we've just been treated to a massive content update.
In this ongoing article, Rogueliker will aim to collect together a selection of the best roguelite and roguelike games on PC and console.
Paul writes: "If you like a roguelike, this is an easy sell, but as Nuclear Throne eases you in gently, it’s also a damn good entry point if you want to try your luck with the genre for the first time. The graphical style won’t appeal to everyone, but the gameplay is the star here, and even if it is punishingly hard in the latter moments you’ll be having too much fun to care."
