The first of many bosses appears at the end of the first zone and I took em a while to develop some maneuvering and well-aimed shots over a long period of time to be able to beat him.
Vlambeer impressed me with how much strategy was developed into a game that is only $11.99. Use Different Weapons On Different Enemies. As I played through the many zones, I found that there were certain weapons that are better for each. Being able to only carry two at a time really make for a tough decision on whether you want to pick up the shotgun and leave the laser pistol behind. There are many fun guns to discover, with each having benefits for different situations. This necessity to be alert makes the game feel incredibly face-paced and keeps you on your toes. The enemies are constantly shooting at you requiring that you be consistently on the move. The developers left some tricky advantages for us to take advantage of once you notice them. For the first zone, I casually played in a lethargic position which gifted my instant death after reaching the second zone. Playing half-heartedly will only get you so far before you will realize (as I did) that you need to develop some strategy to advance. This left me as the player desiring to find what lies in the next zone and what I can unlock there. Similar to many arcade games, you will play many levels in the same zone before progressing to the next one. Do not let the 2D visuals and likable characters fool you.
The reason is because Nuclear Throne is hard. Each character is unique in design and is cute enough to turn into plush toys.Īs of now, I only have 7 of the 12 characters. Some characters increase basic stats while others give you overpowered abilities at the cost of a lower starting HP. Each of the playable characters has a unique ability that diversifies them from the others. I really enjoyed the challenge of not just the different levels itself, but the incentive to do well and unlock more of the games content. So I, like any normal gamer, felt the innate desire to unlock all of the characters and see which one I will enjoy the most. I quickly found out that these characters are unlocked by passing certain levels and the further along I got in the game, the more playable characters I unlocked. You’ll notice as I did that there are only 2 unlocked characters to play immediately. You select 1 of 12 radiation mutated beings to play as. The independent game developer Vlabeer claims they’ve been “bringing back arcade games since 1939”, and that’s exactly what they’ve done with their newest title. Seems simple enough, but I assure you the Nuclear Throne is challenging and addictive enough to offer hours of enjoyable gameplay.
Once the level is cleared of all the “baddies”, a warp hole sucks you in for the next round. The premise is simple – select one of the many different characters with unique abilities to run and gun your way past the challenging two-dimensional enemies you encounter along the way. Nuclear Throne , developed and published by Vlambeer, stands out among the many arcade titles available to gamers.
