The first thing that impressed us was the soundtrack. What, if anything, sets Nuclear Throne apart, and is it enough to warrant an investment considering it's not even finished yet? It's emerging from a crowd of games that are all offering something fairly similar permadeath, procedurally generated levels, and frantic gameplay. We're here to talk about the game, and to give a brief insight into how the action-orientated roguelike is shaping up. Every Tuesday and Thursday the studio broadcasts via, and the ongoing show offering insight into the development process has attracted a sizeable following.īut that's a sideshow, and a distracting one at that. There's another remarkable thing about Nuclear Throne, and that's the fact that development of the game has been an open experience for the developer and the gamers who are playing it. It's come a long way since then, including undergoing a name change after comparisons were drawn between the original name and that of a certain post-apocalyptic isometric RPG currently in development at Inxile Entertainment. It started life as Wasteland Kings, with the first prototype of the game created in three days at Mojam last February. The unfinished indie roguelike that we've been playing most recently is Nuclear Throne, the latest game from Vlambeer, and one that's currently available to download now via Steam Early Access (for just shy of a tenner). There's a plethora of options if you're interested in unfinished roguelikes on PC, which we are, which goes some way to explain why there's so many of them sitting in our Steam account waiting to be played.
It seems like every third game released at the moment is an indie roguelike title, and every fourth game released is in Early Access on Steam.
