Watching an Early Access game evolve over time is a strange, changeable, exhilarating experience. All the more so when the fixes and updates, buffs and embellishments seem to act as a kind of parallel to the often-tumultuous shifts of direction in your own life - a monster-strewn, post-apocalyptic mirror world.
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."
This kinda makes me want a great King Kong game now.
