Well, I've been wanting to talk about a game on this blog for a while. But I was having some problems motivating myself, and feeling really down. Also, I couldn't decide exactly what game I wanted to talk about, but I've decided now. I want to talk about Nuclear Throne. This isn't exactly a review, and I'm biased as all heck because this game is amazing to me, so I'll just talk about it.

Nuclear Throne is a randomly generated, Twin-stick shooter set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where you play as one of many mutants (Minus the one human) who's goal is to reach "The Nuclear Throne". The game was developed by Vlambeer, a independent Dutch studio who are known for their work on a few other games like "Super Crate Box" and "Ridiculous Fishing", as well as some others, none of which I've played.

The game is currently available on Steam Early access and it's pretty cheap. It's highly addictive and challenging, and I've only beaten the game once in about 30 hours of playing it. The game is a "Roguelite" which means if you die you're sent back to the very start, though the game is actually pretty short. You can beat a whole run in about 15 minutes from what I've seen. But the high difficulty, large amount of weapons and "Mutations" (Imagine them like perks from Fallout if you've ever played that.), random levels, and multiple playable characters with unique abilities make it extremely replayable.

The game also features local Co-op. Though I haven't tried it, since I don't really have anyone to play it with. It's updated almost every week with new content and bugfixes. The game has some really nice pixel art, a wonderful soundtrack, and a pretty large amount of content. If you've been looking for something fast-paced, extremely challenging and high action to play, this game will probably do it for you.

Also, dual-wielding a Double-Flame Shotgun with a Lightning Shotgun is awesome. Very few games have ever made me feel that cool.

I really can't recommend this game enough. It's a lot of fun, and one of the best games I've played in a long time. If anything I've said above sounds interesting to you, I'd say to give the game a look. If even one person does so I'll consider this blog post a success.
