Nuclear Throne (previously Wasteland Kings) is a fast-paced, brutally difficult action rogue-lite from Vlambeer, developer of such games as Super Crate Box and Ridiculous Fishing.
The world is over. A long time ago, the apocalypse wiped out all human life on Earth. No one knows how or why it happened, but it no longer matters. In the irradiated wasteland that emerged, new life appeared. Mutants, the only creatures left to inhabit the planet. Over time, a legend began to spread...a mysterious structure in a palace far away, said to have the power to restabilize the world, guarded by sentinels made of pure energy. Some say a mutant fought its way to this place and sat upon the great stone seat, but what became of them? Despite their efforts the world remains the same, and thus the struggle must continue.
You must reach the Nuclear Throne.
Features- Intense top-down twin-stick shooter action. Only one life to live.
- Play as one of 12 characters trying to reach the Nuclear Throne, each with their own passive and special abilities, and return order to the wasteland.
- Collect radiation to level up and mutate. Acquire homing bolts, restore health by killing, smash through walls, and more. Reach max level and choose your Ultra Mutation to even the odds.
- Swap your trusty Revolver for over 100 other weapons, from Laser Pistols to Crossbows to Gatling Bazookas. #verifyvenuz
- Never-ending fun! Defeat the true final boss to loop, putting you back at stage 1 with more enemies to kill, new bosses to face, and deadlier weapons to find.
- Steal a Crown from the Crown Vault to modify your run. Beware that every upside must have a downside, and multiple entities are watching...
- Plenty of secret areas, characters, secondary player skins, and weapons to discover.
- Compete to get the most kills in the same layout against other players, either once a day with the character of your choice in the daily run, or as many times as you want with a locked setup every weekend in the weekly run.
