Description
Nuclear Throne is a post-apocalyptic roguelike-like top-down shooter. Not 'the final hope of humanity' post-apocalyptic, but 'humanity is extinct and mutants and monsters now roam the world' post-apocalyptic. Fight your way through the wastelands with powerful weaponry, collecting radiation to mutate some new limbs and abilities. All these things and more you could do if only you were good at this game. Can you reach the Nuclear Throne?
  • Pick from 12 playable characters including a mutant fish, the triangular yung venuz or a headless chicken.
  • Battle to the throne through seven playable main worlds and procedurally generated levels. Discover a huge amount of secret worlds and challenges.
  • Mutate your character in almost 30 different ways using radioactive waste around the world and get inventive in your combat strategies.
  • Use a range of over 100 weapons, from the familiar machine-gun and shotgun to the slightly alternative screwdriver and quintuple-barreled rocketlaucher.
  • It’s dangerous to go it alone - get together with a friend and battle your way to the Nuclear Throne with local co-op.
  • Art by Super Crate Box's Paul "Pietepiet" Veer, music by LUFTRAUSERS' Jukio "KOZILEK" Kallio and SFX by Downwell's Joonas Turner. Concept art by Nuclear Throne's Justin Chan.

GOG version *is* up-to-date. What gives?

I've just picked this up on sale (finally!) and it's the last known official version of the game: u99r1. Exact same version last updated on Steam. Works with the NTT mod and all. Given the glut of negative "reviews" here, it begs the question: what the hell's everyone smoking here?! Anyway, so much has been said about how great the game is and how horrible the dev has become, and both points are absolutely true. But I will add this... The primary strength of Nuclear Throne lies in avoiding the slog that most rogue-lites suffer from: wasting your time sinking an hour into a single run, only to lose that progress and take the wind right out of your sails, killing any hype to jump right back in. (Games like Dead Cells and Enter The Gungeon suffer badly from this, I find.) But, like Spelunky, in this game every run is quick and to the point and lasts about 10 minutes, infecting you with the just-one-more bug that keeps you dialed in. Consider that average runtime when I've personally put in over 300 hours across PS4, PS Vita and PC in the past several years! Oh, and the sound design is absolutely tops in the genre, right up there with Metal Slug. In short, do yourself a favour and buy it now. Nuclear Throne is an awesome action masterpiece that you can not and should not miss!

Gog version not up to date

Great game but we can't have the last version on GOH. The developper has not updated the game in the last version.

An Impatient Man's Issac

Let me start off with saying that this game is an absolute joy to play, During it's early access period I put in about 200 hours with it and never got bored. This game is super fast paced and incredibly hectic with no two runs ever being them same due to the random maps, huge amount of guns, and the random assortment of mutations you get with each level. I call this an impatient man's Isaac because the average run may only take you 15 to 20 minutes whereas Isaac can easily go beyond 30. Lots of different characters to choose from with their own special abilities plus an amazing soundtrack make this rougelite one that you do not want to miss.

Decent game, awful developer practices

I've had a fair bit of fun with the game, even though there's countless massive bugs in it. The developers however don't treat their customers with respect, and the GOG version is out of date with the bugs fixed *years ago* elsewhere still present, and it is thus also incompatible with the mod that makes the game playable by fixing numerous bugs and performance issues in the game. I've bought multiple copies of the game, on multiple platforms, but since I realized just how poorly GOG users are treated by them, I really can't support anything Vlambeer does anymore.

Fun game

Fast-paced, frantic gameplay, good variety of weapons and enemies. Game seems mostly fair, with some exceptions. Do not buy this game on GOG however, buy elsewhere. The devs just decided to never update it here until it gets to a final version, multiple years after release still no update.
