Nuclear Throne

Nuclear Throne is a frantic post-apocalyptic top-down roguelike-like shooter from Vlambeer, set in a world where humanity is extinct and mutants roam the wasteland. Players pick mutant characters with unique passives and active mutations, fighting through short, brutal levels toward the fabled Nuclear Throne. Combat is fast and unforgiving, with crunchy weapons and constant danger demanding sharp reflexes. Radiation collected from fallen enemies fuels mutation upgrades that shape each run. Its tight game-feel and high difficulty made it a cult favorite. Permadeath keeps every run tense and disposable.
