1H1D #84: Nuclear Throne

We wouldn't recommend getting near one, never mind sitting on one.

When it's not picking Annapurna games, we can trust the ole "Surprise Me" button to pick a roguelike instead. For this episode, it has selected the top-down twin-stick shooter roguelike developed and published by Vlambeer. With an expanding roster of playable characters and a multitude of weapons and mutations to locate through play, the real question will be if the core mechanics are fun enough to keep our hosts fully engaged for an hour of continuous play. To put it another way, will this roguelike stand out in a genre that is increasingly feeling oversaturated? Will the controls and game loop be tight enough to keep our hosts playing after their mandated hour is complete? Is it pronounced "new-clee-ur" or "nuke-ular"? Have a strong opinion on the matter, do we? Well, press play to find out if this game is "the bomb" or if it just plain bombed.
