Nuclear Throne!

I am fucking inlove with this game. It's nothing new, just a twitch-arcade-retro-shooter. Kinda like Hotline Miami but more of a cluster-fuck than stealth.
Its got local co-op, but sadly no online play. Thought I would share.

I love this game, I literally was just playing it. How far have you got? My furthest is the first level after the snow levels. I think it's Labs. I've never beat Lil Hunter though, I got through by doing a side level.

7-1 with Steroids. I struggled with Lil' Hunter for ages but now I can smash his ass like the Lil' Bitch he is.
Try using Bolt weapons on him they smash his ass.
I had homing bolts & a whole bunch of other mutations on Steroids to get to 7-1 I was rolling so hard than, no ammo...
I also just unlocked a character called Chicken who is pretty cool, starts with a melee weapon to. I got him from "feeding" this plant my HP a few times that I found randomly on one of the lower levels (Big Dogs stages I think)

I used to use Steroids back when it was in early access and all characters were unlocked, so I have to unlock him again. I always go Fish, the other characters just don't feel right. I'm thinking I'll beat it with Fish then try other characters. I unlocked the golden crossbow for fish so I can start with that every time. It's good but I love more explosive and higher powered weapons. Some of the weapons are soooo fun. Triple machine gun, flame shotgun... Usually by the snow levels I'm packing some serious firepower. It is a wild game.

Before I got Steroids I was playing nothing but Melting, killed Lil' Hunter with him first. It's so addictive I can't stop playing it.

Just got this dude
I still think Steroids will still be my favorite. He's just a ball of muscle, funny as fuck just watching his running animation.

I wish I got this game on Steam sale. I've been watching some streams of it and it looks like just pure, simple but great fun.

It is man, honestly its worth the money. I just got off it than, going to bed for the night. I've only had it for like 5 days maybe 6 & clocked in 55 hours already. Mind you I fucking love these sort of games & this one is done really well & I love the theme/style they used.
I still haven't made it to the throne yet .

It has a lot of depth though. They've been perfecting the balance of the game in early access for 2 years.Quote:

Holy shit, you are absolutely smashing it. I've played like 25 hours and I've had the game for over a year. But I got back into in the last few months. Last night I played as Melting a lot. Only starts with 2HP but can explode corpses. It's so fun. Got mid way through the snow levels with him. If you get the mutation 'no damage from fire and explosions when under 4 HP' its obviously perfect for this character.

This game is like crack to me.
Yeah I was using Melting 24/7 until I got Steroids, now if I play anyone else feels weird not being able to shoot both weapons at once. Only problem I have with Steroids is its easy to end up with no ammo if you get careless.

Haha yeah I can tell. I gotta unlock him again. When I first started playing ages ago in early access, I always played Steroids and used a controller. Smashing away at both triggers was so intense but not so accurate...

I don't find him that inaccurate unless the gun already has a spread (Shotguns or SMGs) but yeah all the others are more dead eye.

I got it! It's fucking awesome. Not an easy game neither. So cheap as well. 10 bucks it cost me. Damn... all these indie games I play now are 100 times better than AAA blockbuster titles.

This game is fucking hard! I haven't gotten past the first ice level. I usually die during last stages of the scrapyard

I also find the game has annoyingly massive RNG aspects to it. You can sometimes get spawned into a room, surrounded and hardly anyway to escape or win. Or, you get great weapons and lots of ammo + health drops but next run, you get fuck all but screwdrivers and machine guns.

See, I like that about it. It keeps it addictive and unpredictable, and always going for that perfect run with your favourite guns and mutations.

What have you got up to now? I reached 7-3 the other day (throne level) but was one hit killed. I've been playing Steroids a lot, he's so goddamn fun.
