Steroids is a character who somehow survived the apocalypse by being hella muscular. Glowing-green radioactive materials are the new currency (and also food), and language has devolved into “Trashtalk”, which is practically gibberish with actual meaning behind every utterance.Īlso, many, many guns have survived the nuclear holocaust, so everyone that has hands (or equivalents) is well-armed. Whatever remains of humanity are now comically hideous mutants that have no qualms mutating themselves in order to survive. The world in Nuclear Throne has gone down the atomic toilet. Of course, this is perhaps expected, since Vlambeer – maker of the goofy shooter Gun Godz – developed this game.

However, where most games that use this setting are often serious in their tone (most of the time), Nuclear Throne has a whimsical take on it. The post-apocalypse is a staple setting in video games. Unfortunately, a design decision on the part of Vlambeer prevents the player from fully utilizing his/her skill and experience at this game. Nuclear Throne appears to scratch that itch (if the DLCs for and sequel to Binding of Isaac have not already).
